The Massachusetts jury in Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial resumed deliberations for a fourth day Tuesday in Plymouth, Massachusetts. After 18 hours of deliberation across three days, jurors appeared fatigued and stoic, with no smiles and one juror deep in thought. Judge William F.

Sullivan encouraged them to 'stay the course' to reach a verdict in the high-profile case where Clancy, a 36-year-old former nurse, is accused of strangling her three children — Cora, 5; Dawson, 3; and Callan, 8 months — with exercise resistance bands on January 24, 2023. Both prosecution and defense agree on the method but dispute intent and criminal responsibility. Prosecutors argue Clancy retained capacity to appreciate wrongfulness, citing her actions before and after the killings, while the defense claims she acted during a postpartum psychosis episode, influenced by a 'persistent male voice.' The jury considers five options: first-degree murder, second-degree murder, manslaughter, not guilty by lack of criminal responsibility, or not guilty.

A group of pink-wearing supporters rallied outside court, highlighting renewed attention to maternal mental health. The trial has drawn national attention as jurors work to reconcile the brutality of the act with potential mental health defenses.
