Lindsay Clancy scared and sad as jury deliberations pause for the weekend, her attorney says
The jury in the trial of Lindsay Clancy, the woman accused of murdering her three young children, is still deliberating on whether to accept her postpartum psychosis defense. Shanelle Kaul reports and Caroline Polisi provides legal analysis.
Jurors adjourned from the Lindsay Clancy murder trial on Friday without reaching a verdict, with deliberations set to resume on Monday. The Plymouth, Massachusetts jury must decide if former labor and delivery nurse Lindsay Clancy is criminally responsible for the 2023 deaths of her three children. Both sides agree on the killings but disagree on intent; Clancy's attorneys claim she suffered from postpartum psychosis, exacerbated by inadequate medical care, while prosecutors argue she intentionally planned the murders.
Postpartum psychosis affects 1 to 2 out of every 1,000 women following childbirth and can lead to severe mental health crises. Clancy's legal team expressed uncertainty about the outcome, stating they don't know what the jury might decide. The judge allowed the jurors to leave the courtroom with no verdict, encouraging them to continue their deliberations on Monday.
