Clancy Case Stalls as Jury Again Deadlocks on Fifth Day
Jurors in Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial told a Massachusetts judge they remained unable to reach a unanimous verdict after 28 hours of deliberations on a first-degree murder conviction. The judge delivered Tuey-Rodriguez instructions urging further deliberations, a move that underscores the risk of a mistrial and leaves the DA to decide whether to retry the case if no verdict is reached. The proceedings have drawn national attention to postpartum psychosis and the broader mental-health questions surrounding new mothers.
