PLYMOUTH, Mass. \u2013 Jurors in Lindsay Clancy\u2019s murder trial announced Tuesday that they are deadlocked \u2014 but the judge sent them back to deliberate more.<\/p>\n

The 12-person jury \u2013 made up of nine women and three men \u2013 told Judge William Sullivan that they could not agree on whether to convict Clancy, 36, of three counts of first-degree murder after almost 18 hours of deliberation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve got your question and the question is: \u2018After many hours of deliberation we are unable to come to a unanimous decision\u2019,\u201d the judge said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI brought you back out because I know that this was a long trial. I know there were over 80 witnesses, there were over 300 exhibits, but because of that I\u2019m going to ask you to go back out, keeping in mind all of the instructions that I gave you, to go out and continue your deliberation at this time.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo with that \u2026 I would ask you to resume your deliberations at this time,\u201d he told jurors.<\/p>\n

Two Massachusetts veteran criminal defense attorneys said if the jurors tell Sullivan again at some point that they still can\u2019t reach an agreement, the judge would then give them a formal instruction called a \u201cTuey-Rodriguez\u201d charge, telling them again to try to come to an agreement.<\/p>\n

Boston attorney Peter Elikann said the Tuey-Rodriguez charge is\u00a0\u201cknown colloquially as the dynamite charge\u2026 And it really pushes the jury and urges them to try to work out a unanimous decision. It\u2019s almost equivalent to a pep talk by the judge encouraging them to go back and try harder.\u201d<\/p>\n

And if the panel still can\u2019t reach a verdict after that, Sullivan could choose to declare a mistrial.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt depends on who the judge is, but normally once Tuey has been given, if they come back again and say they are still deadlocked, the judge is constrained to grant them a mistrial,\u201d Boston lawyer Brad Bailey told The Post.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSo with that I\u2019m going to go back out like I said, keep in mind the instructions I gave you reviewing the evidence and I would ask you to resume your deliberations at this time,\u201d he told jurors.<\/p>\n

The note from the jury came after they heard dueling accounts of the mom\u2019s state of mind when she fatally strangled Cora, 5; Dawson, 3, and 8-month-old Callan using exercise bands before trying to take her own life on Jan. 24, 2023.<\/p>\n
