Deadlocked Lindsay Clancy Trial

A single juror deadlocks the Lindsay Clancy murder trial as deliberations resume in Massachusetts.

A jury in the Lindsay Clancy trial is deadlocked, with a single juror refusing to follow the court's instructions about reasonable doubt. This revelation is the clearest glimpse of what may be preventing a verdict on whether the Massachusetts mother is criminally responsible for killing her three children. The jury has twice told Judge William Sullivan that it is unable to agree on a verdict. If the jury cannot agree on the verdict, the judge could declare a mistrial and decide whether to put Clancy on trial again or drop charges. If convicted of either murder or manslaughter, a judge could still order her confined to a mental health facility if an evaluation determines she poses a danger to the public.
