Lindsay Clancy trial jury set to deliberate for fifth day after telling judge they were deadlocked

Plymouth, Mass. (AP) — Jury deliberations in the Lindsay Clancy trial entered their fifth day on Wednesday without reaching a verdict, as the Massachusetts mother was deadlocked on whether she was criminally responsible for killing her three young children in 2023. Billed as $5.77 plus GST every four weeks, the trial saw Clancy, a 36-year-old former labor and delivery nurse, argue that postpartum psychosis led to her actions, while prosecutors claim she knowingly killed Cora, Dawson and Callan Clancy, aged 5, 3 and 8 months, respectively.

Judge William Sullivan thanked the jurors for their time and commitment, telling them to return Thursday morning to continue deliberations. Clancy admitted to strangling her children in their home basement and later jumping from a second-floor window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her defense team argues that postpartum psychosis and bipolar disorder contributed to her actions, while prosecutors maintain she was fully aware of her decisions when she killed her children.
