## Resource

Plymouth County DA Timothy Cruz, known for his hardline stance on crime, faces a pivotal moment after a mistrial in the Lindsay Clancy case — where 11 of 12 jurors leaned toward not guilty, citing her severe mental illness. While critics argue treatment should have been prioritized over prosecution, Cruz’s reputation for relentless pursuit of justice suggests he may push for a retrial, risking backlash and raising urgent questions about how mental health intersects with criminal accountability in Massachusetts.
