Lindsay Clancy trial: Why is the jury deliberation taking so long? Latest update on mother accused of killing children
Jurors in Lindsay Clancy case requested evidence, including pill bottles and a knife, as they weighed competing claims of postpartum psychosis.
The jury in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial for the deaths of her three children has continued deliberations for a second full day without reaching a verdict, five weeks after testimony from over 80 witnesses concluded. Clancy, 36, is accused of killing her children - Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months - at their home in Duxbury, Massachusetts, on January 24, 2023.
She has pleaded not guilty, arguing she was suffering from severe postpartum psychosis at the time of the killings. Prosecutors claim Clancy planned the murders and maintained the capacity to make deliberate decisions despite her mental health struggles. The jury, tasked with weighing weeks of evidence, medical records, psychiatric opinions, witness testimony, and physical exhibits, must decide whether Clancy is legally responsible for the children's deaths or if she was not guilty by reason of insanity due to her mental health state.
