Jury Deadlocked in Lindsay Clancy Trial Amid Juror Dispute

Full Summary — powered by AI

The trial of Lindsay Clancy, a 36-year-old former labor and delivery nurse, has seen its jury deliberate for seven days as of Friday, September 4, 2026. Clancy faces three counts of first-degree murder in the January 2023 strangulation deaths of her children, 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 8-month-old Callan, in their Duxbury, Massachusetts, home.

Clancy does not deny causing her children’s deaths. Her defense argues she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and bipolar disorder at the time, rendering her not criminally responsible for her actions. Prosecutors, however, contend that Clancy intentionally planned the killings and was aware of her actions.

The jury, composed of nine women and three men, reported being deadlocked twice on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, and Thursday, September 3, 2026. Following a note from the jury foreperson on Thursday, defense attorney Kevin Reddington moved to remove a juror, stating the juror “refuses to listen to the law” regarding reasonable doubt and that the jury was split 11-1. Judge William Sullivan denied the request to remove the juror, instead re-instructing the jury on reasonable doubt and sending them back to continue deliberations. If the jury cannot reach a unanimous verdict, a mistrial could be declared, leading to a potential retrial or plea negotiations.
