UPDATE: The judge dismissed the Clancy jury without a verdict on Wednesday afternoon.
Here we go again!
The Lindsay Clancy jury once again on Wednesday sent a note to the judge saying they are deadlocked and could not come to a unanimous decision.
Lindsay Clancy strangled her three children to death in January 2023.
The young children, Cora (5), Callan (8 months), and Dawson (3), were found dead in the Clancy, Massachusetts, home’s basement.
Wednesday marked day five of deliberations in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial.
The jury comprises 9 women and 3 men.
The judge delivered new instructions to the deadlocked jury.
If the jury cannot make a decision after days of deliberations and new instructions from the judge, the judge will declare a mistrial.

Fox News reported:
The judge in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial is delivering another instruction to the deadlocked jury, urging jurors to keep trying to reach a verdict, after the panel again said it was unable to come to a decision.
The instruction is known in Massachusetts as a Tuey-Rodriguez charge, sometimes called a “dynamite charge.” It is given to a deadlocked jury to encourage continued deliberation, while reminding jurors to listen carefully to one another without surrendering their own honestly held convictions. Judge William Sullivan declined to give the instruction earlier in the week when jurors first reported difficulty agreeing, opting instead to simply send them back.
The panel of nine women and three men is weighing whether Clancy was criminally responsible when she killed her three children, or whether, as the defense argues, she was in the grip of postpartum psychosis.
Today is the second day in a row that the jury has told the judge that they cannot come to a unanimous decision.
