[^1]\n\nOn September 1, 2026, the jury in the trial of Lindsay Clancy, accused of killing her three children in 2023, informed Judge William Sullivan that they failed to reach a unanimous verdict after more than 17 hours of deliberation. [^2]\n\nThe jury in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial in Plymouth, Massachusetts announced on Tuesday that they were deadlocked after four days of deliberation. [^3]\n\nClancy pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, claiming she suffered from postpartum psychosis that prevented her from understanding the nature and gravity of her actions. [^4]\n\nProsecutors argued that Clancy knew what she was doing and made a conscious decision to kill her children before attempting suicide, noting her training as a nurse and her knowledge of the medications she was taking. [^5]\n\nJudge William Sullivan asked the jury to deliberate once more, marking his second request for deliberation in the case. [^6]\n\nMassachusetts law states that a judge can declare a mistrial only if the jury remains deadlocked after being asked to deliberate three times. [^7]\n\nThe jury is currently deadlocked over whether Lindsay Clancy is criminally responsible for killing her three children. [^8]\n\nIf Clancy is convicted of first-degree murder, she faces life in prison without parole; if found not guilty by reason of insanity, she would be committed to a state psychiatric hospital for evaluation. [^9]\n\nJudge William Sullivan, presiding over the trial in Plymouth, Massachusetts, instructed the jury to continue deliberating after receiving the note indicating a lack of unanimous decision. [^10]\n\nOn the night of the murders, Clancy allegedly heard a voice telling her to kill, strangled her children, and then attempted suicide by cutting her wrists and jumping from a second-story window.
