Lindsay Clancy jury deadlocked for second time, judge orders "dynamite charge"
As of Wednesday, there was still no verdict in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy. The jurors went home after a fifth day of deliberations, telling the judge for a second time that they could not decide whether Clancy is criminally responsible for killing her three young children. The judge told them to keep trying. Shanelle Kaul reports and Caroline Polisi has more.
The jury in Lindsay Clancy's triple murder trial remains deadlocked after more than 27 hours of deliberation. According to The Hill, on Tuesday, the jury told the court they were unable to reach a verdict, and on Wednesday, they repeated this to Judge William Sullivan.
The jury is tasked with determining whether Clancy was criminally responsible for the deaths of her three children in January 2023. Clancy, 36, does not dispute that she killed the children, but the jury must decide if she was criminally responsible.
Judge Sullivan has ordered the jury to continue deliberating, giving them the Tuey-Rodriguez instructions, which ask jurors to consider the views of other members while following their own judgment. This raises the possibility of a mistrial if the jury cannot reach a unanimous decision, as CBS News reports the judge could issue a mistrial.
