Jury in Lindsay Clancy trial tells judge for a second time that it can’t agree on a verdict

Jurors are split over criminal responsibility after more than 35 hours of deliberations, and the judge warned a mistrial remains possible if they cannot agree.

  • The jury in Lindsay Clancy's trial for killing her three children has twice been unable to reach a unanimous verdict, with the judge urging continued deliberations using a dynamite charge.
  • Clancy admits to killing her children and her defense claims postpartum psychosis impaired her criminal responsibility, while prosecutors argue she was fully aware and planned the killings.
  • Possible verdicts include not guilty, not guilty by reason of insanity, first- or second-degree murder, or manslaughter, with potential outcomes ranging from hospital commitment to life imprisonment without parole.
  • If the jury remains deadlocked, a mistrial may be declared, leading to possible retrial, plea negotiations, or dismissal of charges.
