Facebook is on trial in New Mexico over privacy concerns linked to the 2016 election. The state accuses the social media platform of failing to protect users from a data breach. The trial is expected to last four weeks. Opening statements are scheduled for Wednesday. Political consulting firm Cambridge Analytica bought user data harvested from millions of Facebook profiles to generate targeted ads during the 2016 election. Most U.S. states previously reached an agreement with Meta that addressed child safety concerns and privacy issues. New Mexico is the only state to push a case toward trial. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg isn't expected to testify in person.

A Massachusetts judge declared a mistrial in the murder case against Lindsay Clancy. Jurors could not agree on whether she was criminally responsible when she strangled her three young children in 2023. Friday’s mistrial leaves the case unresolved and allows prosecutors to try Clancy again. She had faced life in prison without parole if convicted of first-degree murder. Prosecutors argued that Clancy acted deliberately and understood her actions, while her lawyers said postpartum psychosis left her unable to control her behavior or appreciate its wrongfulness. The closely watched case drew national attention to maternal mental healthcare and gaps in treatment.

The judge has declared a mistrial in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial. After seven days of deliberating, the jurors failed to reach a verdict on whether she was criminally responsible for killing her three young children at her Massachusetts home. Judge William Sullivan declared the mistrial Friday. That came after jurors sent a note saying that they were “unable to come to a unanimous decision and will not be able to." The emotionally charged case has sharply divided many Americans and generated intense interest for over a month. It’s drawn attention to issues around maternal mental health after childbirth.

A judge declared a mistrial in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial Friday after jurors said they could not reach a unanimous verdict on whether she was criminally responsible when she strangled her three young children. The mistrial, reached after seven days of deliberations, leaves the case unresolved and allows prosecutors to try Clancy again. The judge set a hearing for Sept. 29. Clancy's defense appealed after the judge refused to question a juror who — according to the jury foreperson — wasn't following the judge's instructions about reasonable doubt. But a state supreme court justice let the mistrial stand. Clancy remains charged with murder and confined to a psychiatric hospital.
