  "account": "Lindsay Clancy appears in court during her murder trial at Plymouth Superior Court in Plymouth, Mass., on Monday, Aug. 24, 2026. (Greg Derr/The Patriot Ledger via AP, Pool)\n\nJurors are struggling to reach a verdict in the Lindsay Clancy trial. The trial centers on whether Clancy should be held criminally responsible for the deaths of her three young children in 2023. Prosecutors argue she intentionally planned the killings, while Clancy's attorneys claim she suffered from postpartum psychosis, and poor mental healthcare worsened her condition. Over 21 days of testimony, the jury heard from numerous witnesses, including doctors, first responders, relatives, and even Clancy’s ex-husband. If convicted, Clancy could face life in prison, while a not guilty verdict may result in her release or confinement in a mental health facility. If the jury cannot agree on a verdict, the judge could declare a mistrial. Judge William Sullivan declined a defense request to remove a juror who refused to follow court instructions on reasonable doubt during Thursday's deliberation.",
