PLYMOUTH, September 3 - A US jury has reached a second deadlock in Lindsay Clancy's triple murder trial, raising the possibility of a mistrial. The 36-year-old mother of three is accused of strangling her children Cora, five, Dawson, three, and Callan, eight months, but claims her actions were due to postpartum psychosis. Clancy's trial, which lasted five weeks and was televised, drew national attention to the issue of maternal mental health.
After the fifth day of deliberations, the jurors indicated they were at an impasse, with all 12 jurors required to agree on a verdict. Judge William Sullivan issued a "dynamite charge" to encourage the jurors to continue discussing the case, aiming to break the deadlock before a potential mistrial.
