Lindsay Clancy trial: Jury deliberations are underway

Before deliberations began, Judge William Sullivan described the verdict form to the jury. The foreperson needs to check one option for each count, which corresponds to each of the three children.

Jurors have the options of Not Guilty, Not Guilty by Lack of Criminal Responsibility, Guilty of Murder in the First Degree by the Theory of Deliberate Premeditation, or Extreme Atrocity and Cruelty, Guilty of Murder in the Second Degree, Guilty of Manslaughter.

The jury in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy has begun its deliberations.

"Our system of justice is counting on you to render a fair decision based on the evidence and not on biases. Please have confidence in what you're about to do," Judge William Sullivan told the jury. 

"I have that confidence in you. I don't think I've ever seen a more dedicated group of jurors in any trial that I've ever been involved in,"  Sullivan continued. 

Sullivan gave the jury additional instructions about the law before sending them off to begin deliberating.

Prosecutor Jennifer Sprague told jurors in her closing argument that Lindsay Clancy misled and jumped between medical providers because "she wanted to get better on her own terms."

Sprague also highlighted Clancy’s work experience as a labor and delivery nurse to argue she should have known better.

"She knows as a nurse the importance of following the instructions of your medications. She knows how important it is to follow the plan and do what's on the bottle and do what your provider tells you and to give that accurate information to your provider," she said.

Pushing back on the suggestion that the trial is a referendum on the healthcare system, Sprague argued that Clancy had better-than-average access to medical care but did not properly use it.

The prosecution just began its closing argument after defense attorney Kevin Reddington finished his.
