The Lindsay Clancy Jury Says They're Still Deadlocked. What Happens if There's a Mistrial?

Jurors have twice told Judge William Sullivan they cannot agree on whether Clancy was criminally responsible for killing her three children.

  • After 30 hours of deliberations spanning five days, the jury in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy remains deadlocked, reporting an impasse for the second consecutive day.
  • Central to the trial is whether Clancy was suffering from postpartum psychosis when she killed her three children in 2023, though prosecutors contend she knew her actions were wrong.
  • On Wednesday, Judge William Sullivan read the Tuey-Rodriguez instruction, urging jurors to fulfill their "duty to decide this case if you can do so conscientiously" despite the impasse.
  • Boston-Based criminal defense attorney Peter Elikann said a continued deadlock could force a mistrial; the defense may then request bail while prosecutors might pursue a plea deal or retrial.
  • Deliberations are set to resume tomorrow morning as the jury determines whether Clancy is criminally responsible for the three children's deaths in 2023.
