Jury deadlocked in Lindsay Clancy murder trial, judge urges continued deliberation

Jurors in the trial of Lindsay Clancy, a Massachusetts mother charged with first-degree murder for killing her three children in 2023, have reported being deadlocked after three days of deliberations. Judge William Sullivan has instructed them to keep trying. Clancy's defense argues she suffered from postpartum psychosis and was unable to distinguish right from wrong, while prosecutors contend the killings were calculated and intentional. If convicted of first-degree murder, she faces life without parole. The jury of nine women and three men began deliberating after weeks of testimony. The judge may issue a special instruction or declare a mistrial if the deadlock persists.
