Lindsay Clancy trial jury returns for Day 6 of deliberations after judge's "dynamite" instruction
Jurors in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy notified the judge for a second time that they remain deadlocked. Jury deliberations continue for a sixth day. CBS News' Shanelle Kaul reports.
The jury in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy has returned for a sixth day of deliberations after reporting they remain deadlocked. According to ABC News, the jury had been deliberating for 30 hours over five days, considering whether Clancy was suffering from postpartum psychosis when she strangled her children and attempted to take her own life in January 2023.
The judge overseeing the case, William Sullivan, read the jury a Tuey-Rodriguez instruction, encouraging them to continue working together toward a verdict. This instruction urges jurors to remember it is their duty to decide the case if they can do so conscientiously.
The case has drawn attention to similar instances of mothers taking the lives of their children. Some have pointed out similarities with the case of Deirdre Morley, an Irish mother accused of killing her three kids, although there is no proof to back up speculation that Lindsay Clancy may have been a "copycat" killer.
