Lindsay Clancy Trial

Jurors have been excused for the day after not yet reaching a verdict in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial. The jury in Plymouth, Massachusetts, must decide whether the former labor and delivery nurse is criminally responsible for killing her three children in 2023. Both sides agree she killed her children. Clancy’s attorneys argue she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and that poor medical care exacerbated her condition. Plymouth County prosecutors argue she intentionally planned the killings and that the nation’s healthcare system is not on trial. Jurors are expected to resume deliberations Monday morning.

Jurors in the Lindsay Clancy trial have ended a second day of deliberations without a verdict. Clancy is on trial to determine whether she was responsible for her actions when she killed her three children in 2023. The jury began deliberating Thursday afternoon and met again Friday. They'll be back Monday morning. Clancy doesn't deny strangling her children. But her lawyer says she did it because she lost her grip on reality due to a rare mental illness that can follow childbirth. Prosecutors say Clancy knew what she was doing. They say she killed the children because she was depressed and tired of living.
