Lindsay Clancy trial jury deliberates for fifth day after judge told them to keep working on decision deadlocked
The jury had told the judge on Tuesday, the fourth day of deliberations, that it could not reach a unanimous verdict, which is necessary for either a conviction or an acquittal.
A woman named Dawn Light, 56, has been charged with intimidation of jurors after being seen filming them as they left a courthouse in Sutton, Massachusetts, in connection with the Lindsay Clancy murder trial. The trial, which has been ongoing for five weeks, is concerning the alleged murder of Clancy's three children in 2023. Light was arraigned on Wednesday at the same courthouse where the trial is taking place, and a not-guilty plea was entered.
She was released without bail but was ordered to stay away from the court, jurors, and witnesses. Prosecutors argue that Clancy, who is charged with murder, knew what she was doing, while Clancy maintains that her actions were due to postpartum psychosis. The jurors, who are still deliberating, could find Clancy guilty of murder, manslaughter, or acquit her if they believe her deteriorating mental health was a factor.
Light's attorney claims it was a misunderstanding and that she was only trying to take a photo of Clancy.
