Lindsay Clancy murder trial jury leaves for day without verdict as deliberations pass 17 hours - CBS News

The jury in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial in Plymouth Superior Court, Massachusetts, ended its third day of deliberations Monday without reaching a verdict, having deliberated more than 17 hours since receiving the case Thursday afternoon.
Judge William Sullivan brought jurors in around 9:15 a.m. before sending them to continue, and around 3:45 p.m. the jury asked to go home, with proceedings set to resume Tuesday around 9 a.m.
The panel of nine women and three men must decide whether Clancy is criminally responsible for killing her three young children at their Duxbury home on Jan. 24, 2023, or whether she was too mentally ill to understand her actions.
Defense attorney Kevin Reddington told reporters he felt "typical" and "nervous," noting the jury could deliberate for a week or another day, and recalling that the longest jury he tried took 10 days and returned a not-guilty verdict.
Reddington attributed the lengthy deliberations to the scope of the case, which involved five weeks of trial and 300 exhibits, and he was surrounded by a growing crowd of international media as the day ended.
WBZ legal analyst Jennifer Roman described the surge of public and media interest as "unusual," noting it arrived late in the proceedings and reflects how the case touches on topics affecting people's everyday lives, with women gathering outside the courthouse to share experiences.
