Jury in Lindsay Clancy trial is deadlocked, judge sends them back for more deliberations
The Massachusetts jury can still consider murder, manslaughter or lack of criminal responsibility after telling the judge it could not agree on a verdict.
- On Tuesday, September 1, 2026, the 12-person jury in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial informed Judge William Sullivan they could not reach a unanimous verdict after more than 17 hours of deliberations, prompting the judge to order continued deliberations.
- Clancy faces three first-degree murder charges for the January 2023 deaths of her three children in Duxbury. Her defense argues postpartum psychosis prevented criminal responsibility, while prosecutors claim she planned the killings.
- The panel of nine women and three men reviewed evidence from a six-week trial featuring over 80 witnesses and 300 exhibits before beginning deliberations last Thursday. Jurors previously asked to examine a knife and prescription pill bottles.
- Judge Sullivan instructed jurors to continue deliberations using the 'dynamite charge,' a standard procedure encouraging unanimity without coercion. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington expressed "really strong faith" in the jury's diligence and attentiveness.
- If the jury remains deadlocked, prosecutors can retry the case, negotiate a plea, or dismiss charges entirely. The outcome will determine whether Clancy faces potential life imprisonment or psychiatric commitment.
