Mass. jurors remain deadlocked in Lindsay Clancy murder trial, judge urges continued deliberations

Jurors in Lindsay Clancy’s Massachusetts murder trial are deadlocked after three days of deliberations. Judge William Sullivan has urged them to keep trying as prosecutors say Clancy killed her three children in a calculated act, while the defense contends postpartum psychosis impaired her judgment. The nine-woman, three-man jury could convict of first-degree murder (carrying a life sentence without parole) or opt for lesser charges; a mistrial remains possible if no verdict is reached, and an insanity finding would place Clancy in a psychiatric hospital instead of prison.
