The panel has now sent out two notes, one Tuesday and one Wednesday, saying they were deadlocked.
Judge William Sullivan first told the group to keep at it, but yesterday read them a last-resort “Tuey-Rodriguez” charge — a formal instruction urging them to keep trying to reach an agreement.
Jurors are deciding whether to convict the 36-year-old Duxbury mom of first-degree murder for strangling her kids, Cora, 5, Dawson, 3 and Callan, 8 months, on Jan. 24, 2023.
Here’s the latest on Lindsay Clancy’s trial for allegedly murdering her three children:
- Lindsay Clancy jurors go home after nearly 30 hours of deliberation — with no verdict in sight
- Lindsay Clancy judge gives deadlocked jury last resort ‘Tuey-Rodriguez’ charge after they can’t reach verdict
- ‘Crime junkie’ all smiles leaving court after allegedly filming jurors at Lindsay Clancy trial
- Will Lindsay Clancy trial end in a mistrial? Here’s what happens if jurors do not agree on murder charge
Clancy is asking them to find her not guilty by reason of insanity based on her claim she was suffering from severe postpartum psychosis and hallucinated a voice telling her to kill them and herself.
Clancy’s lawyer Kevin Reddington says Clancy wouldn’t be able to emotionally handle a second trial, but he is ready to go back to trial “next week.”

The jury briefly came into the courtroom so the judge could ask them screening questions before they were released to continue deliberations for a sixth day.
“Good morning everyone. I’m just going to ask you those questions and then ask you to return to deliberations,” Judge William Sullivan said to the panelists.
“The first question, as you all know, is any member of the jury read, seen or overheard anything from any source that would affect your ability to be a fair and impartial juror.”
“Lastly, is there any other serious matter or concern bearing on your service as a juror in this case that anybody needs to bring to my attention.”
“Thank you as always for following those instructions. I’m going to ask you to resume deliberations.”
