Jury deliberations are underway in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mom who killed her three young children while in the family's home on Jan. 24, 2023.

Clancy’s defense attorney claims she was suffering from postpartum psychosis when she strangled her children and attempted to take her own life. Prosecutors argue that Clancy -- who has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder -- is criminally responsible for her children's deaths.

If she is found guilty, Clancy could face life in prison without parole. If found not criminally responsible for the three murder charges, she will be sent to a state mental health facility.

Lindsay Clancy's family in attendance as day 6 of deliberations get underway

Lindsay Clancy, in a brown sweater over a green top, chatted quietly with defense attorney Kevin Reddington prior to the jury entering. Her parents and sister are sitting in their usual seats behind her, in the second row.

Judge William Sullivan asked whether jurors had read or seen anything that would impact their ability to be fair and whether they had anything to bring to his attention.

Jurors said no and filed out to resume deliberations, beginning a 31st hour.

Jury sent home for the day after 2nd deadlock

A fifth day of deliberations is over, as Judge William Sullivan sent the jury home for the evening, asking the group to report back Thursday morning.

"I know it has been a long day," Sullivan said. "I'm going to ask you to come back tomorrow morning."

Jurors were sent home not long after signaling they were deadlocked for a second time. The judge instructed them at that point to keep working toward a unanimous verdict.

The jury has deliberated for about 30 hours total so far, indicating twice that they were at an impasse. Both times, the judge sent them back to continue deliberations.

Court will resume at 9 a.m. on Thursday.

Jury returns to deliberations after reporting 2nd deadlock

Lindsay Clancy and defense attorney Kevin Reddington looked on as jurors filed out of the courtroom to continue deliberations.

Reddington then asked Clancy if she was all right, and she nodded in the affirmative.

This is the fifth day of deliberations and nearly 30 hours in.

Judge William Sullivan sent copies of the charge into the jury room so the nine women and three men could refer to it.
