The panel has been attempting to come to a unanimous decision for just over 23 hours since they started last Thursday. They informed Judge William Sullivan they were at an impasse yesterday around 10 a.m., but he told them to keep at it.

The jury is deliberating whether the 36-year-old Duxbury mom should be held criminally responsible for first-degree murder for strangling her three kids, Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, with exercise bands on Jan. 24, 2023.

Clancy claims she should be found not guilty by reason of insanity on the grounds she was allegedly in the throes of severe postpartum psychosis during the slayings and her subsequent suicide attempt

The jurors have been released to continue deliberations after a brief delay this morning so the judge could question the panel one by one.

“I know when I just spoke to all of you two minutes ago I said I have one question,” Judge William Sullivan said. “I have two more questions.”

The judge asked the panelists the same questions he has asked them at the start of each day: whether they have “read, seen or heard” anything that would affect their ability to be fair and impartial jurors and whether they had any other concern they needed to disclose.

“Thank you so much for following those instructions,” Sullivan said. “I’m going to ask you to go resume your deliberations at this time.”

The jurors are now in their 23rd hour of deliberations.

Judge William Sullivan issued a stern warning to everyone following the Lindsay Clancy trial to obey the rules of the court after a woman was arrested Tuesday for allegedly filming jurors.

“I wanted to remind everybody here and elsewhere there has been an order that has been issued with regards to the conducting of this case as well as statutes in this Commonwealth which relate to jurors, witnesses, attorneys and others in regards to this proceeding,” Sullivan said.

“And everybody should be well aware that that order and that statute is being enforced and will be enforced. I just kind of wanted to put that out there with no further follow-up or editorial comment.”

Sullivan did not specifically mention the arrest of Dawn Light yesterday for allegedly filming jurors.

After, Sullivan called the lawyers to sidebar.

Then he started calling each juror in one by one and asking them something. The panelists so far have been shaking their heads and saying, “No.”
