Lindsay Clancy jury is deliberating for a sixth day but there’s growing risk of a mistrial

Jurors have twice said they cannot reach a unanimous verdict, raising the chance of a mistrial in the 2023 murder case.

  • On Thursday, jurors in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial resumed deliberations for a sixth day in Plymouth, Massachusetts, following a second deadlock notice on Wednesday.
  • Clancy, a 36-year-old former labor and delivery nurse, is charged in the 2023 deaths of Cora, 5; Dawson, 3; and Callan, 8 months. Prosecutors argue she acted "intentionally, rationally, and swiftly," while the defense contends she suffered from postpartum psychosis.
  • Judge William Sullivan read the Tuey-Rodriguez charge on Wednesday, an instruction urging jurors to consider the reasonableness of all opinions and telling them it is "desirable" the case be decided.
  • Should the jury remain deadlocked, Judge Sullivan will likely declare a mistrial. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington stated he is prepared for a retrial as early as next week.
  • A mistrial would not end the case, as prosecutors would then decide whether to pursue a new trial, negotiate a plea deal, or drop the charges entirely. Clancy's future hinges on this decision.
