Just moments after the judge declared a mistrial and the defense filed for an emergency stay in the case of Lindsay Clancy — the Massachusetts mother accused of murdering her three young children — “20/20” reports on the case that shocked the nation, from the tragic sequence of events leading up to the killings to the competing arguments over mental illness, intent and criminal accountability.

Tonight’s episode breaks down the pivotal moments of the trial, including the conflicting expert testimony over whether Clancy fully understood the consequences of her actions. “The Trial of Lindsay Clancy – Special Edition of “20/20” – airs FRIDAY, SEPT. 4 (9:00-10:
