labor and delivery nurse, killed the children, then used multiple methods to try to end her life, and that she knew what she was doing was wrong. She remains paralyzed from the waist down since jumping from a second-story window after strangling her children.

Prosecutors can choose to retry her on first-degree murder charges or seek to try her only on lesser charges, including second-degree murder or manslaughter, or drop the case entirely.

The judge didn't immediately decide, and no trial date was set.

Clancy's attorneys also have asked the judge to dismiss the criminal case. Among other things, they have argued that the judge should have ousted the one juror who favored a murder conviction after the jury foreperson complained he was refusing to listen to the law on reasonable doubt.

The juror, Michael Desronvil, has said through his lawyer that he had no doubts about his stance. Desronvil told Fox News'  Hannity  in a brief video statement on Monday that  the whole focus has been on me, but we want to reel everything back and put the focus on the three angels,  meaning the children.

The defense has also asked the judge to investigate the juror's truthfulness on a questionnaire that prospective jurors filled out before the trial began, his truthfulness when jurors were questioned by the judge a day before the trial ended and also whether he broke court rules by using a cellphone during deliberations.
