Deliberations Drag On in Lindsay Clancy Triple-Murder Case

TL;DR Summary
Jurors in the Lindsay Clancy case continue deliberations on a potential hung verdict after more than six days of discussion, with a dynamite charge issued to urge consensus. Clancy admits to killing her three children but pleads not guilty by reason of insanity; the prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt she was not severely mentally ill or unable to conform her actions to the law. If acquitted, she would be committed to a state psychiatric hospital for periodic reviews; if the jury remains deadlocked, a retrial could be pursued by the prosecutor.
