The reporting
Jurors in Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial told Judge William Sullivan on Tuesday, after about 23 hours of deliberations over four days, that they were unable to reach a unanimous verdict. Sullivan instructed the panel of nine women and three men to keep deliberating, then excused them until 9 a.m. Wednesday. Clancy, 36, is charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the 2023 strangulation deaths of her children, Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months. Her defense does not dispute she killed them but argues she was not criminally responsible.
Analysis & opinion
No SympathyLeans Right
Lindsay Clancy deserves condemnation and legal accountability for killing her children, not public sympathy or heroic treatment. Sympathy for her postpartum-psychosis defense is misguided and has distorted reactions to the case, including views of the evidence and jury outcome.
