Lindsay Clancy trial outcome: Could her paralysis change verdict? Former killer mom prosecutor predicts big twist

Lindsay Clancy's murder trial is nearing its conclusion, with former Susan Smith prosecutor Tommy Pope predicting a possible change in the jury's verdict due to Clancy's paralysis. Pope, who prosecuted Smith in 1994, believes that female jurors may not show the same sympathy towards Clancy due to their own experiences with postpartum depression.

Additionally, Clancy's paralysis could also influence some jurors' views, particularly men, who might view her as "already punished" by her current condition. The jury, consisting of 12 women and six men, will deliberate once closing arguments are made on Thursday.
