The mood inside court as Lindsay Clancy judge implores jury to keep deliberating

The judge in Lindsay Clancy's triple murder trial could issue a mistrial as the jury remains deadlocked on Day 5 of deliberations. CBS News' Shanelle Kaul reports and legal contributor Jessica Levinson offers analysis.

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.
