The jury in the trial of Lindsay Clancy entered its fourth day of deliberations in Plymouth, Massachusetts, on Tuesday to decide whether she is criminally responsible for strangling her three young children in 2023. Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse, does not deny killing her children, but her defense argues that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time of the actions.
After initially failing to reach a unanimous decision, the jury informed the court of a deadlock. In response, the presiding judge instructed the jurors to continue their deliberations and keep trying to reach a verdict in the high-profile and controversial case.
