The jury in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial did not ask any questions or send any notes to the court on the third day of deliberations on Monday.

The jurors went home Monday without a verdict in the case that has drawn national attention.

They will return Tuesday morning to continue working toward a decision.

Psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert breaks down the differences between postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis and why he believes Lindsay Clancy’s supporters are misguided.

He cautions that in the wake of Clancy’s trial, some women who truly suffer from postpartum depression might be concerned about discussing it because of fears that people might perceive them as being violent.

Kevin Reddington said as he left the courthouse on Monday that there are “many issues” for a potential appeal in Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial as they wait for a verdict.

The jury finished day 3 of deliberations without a verdict. Jurors will return to the courthouse on Tuesday morning to continue working toward a decision.

The jury weighing Lindsay Clancy’s fate has now spent more than 15 hours in deliberations without reaching a verdict.

The panel of nine women and three men, led by a female foreperson, must decide whether Clancy was criminally responsible when she strangled her three children, or whether, as the defense argues, she was in the grip of postpartum psychosis and could not appreciate the wrongfulness of her actions or conform her conduct to the law. Prosecutors contend she knew right from wrong and acted deliberately.

Jurors may find Clancy guilty of first-degree murder, second-degree murder or manslaughter, acquit her, or find her not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility. If convicted of first-degree murder, she faces life without parole. If found not criminally responsible, she would be committed to a state mental health facility.

Clancy faces three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her children, Cora, Dawson and Callan. She does not dispute killing them but says she was suffering from postpartum psychosis.

Lindsay Clancy’s defense attorney says he has no idea how much longer the jury will deliberate, but that he’ll accept whatever they decide.

Asked what a just outcome would be, Kevin Reddington told reporters: “I’ve been around long enough to know that whatever a jury says, we accept, and that’s it. These people have devoted five weeks of their life.” On the timing, he quipped, “If I knew that, I’d probably win the lottery.”

No verdict yet in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial. The jury has broken for lunch on its third day of deliberations, and the court says nothing will be announced before 2 p.m.

A retired Massachusetts judge is pushing back on a widespread assumption about what would happen if Lindsay Clancy is found not criminally responsible for killing her three children, that a mental hospital would be an easy out.

Retired Superior Court Judge Jack Lu told Fox News Digital that the reality is more complicated.

If Clancy is found not guilty by reason of insanity, he said, a judge would initially commit her, and then officials at a maximum-security mental health facility would periodically move to recommit her based on whether she is deemed a danger to herself or others. That process could repeat “year after year after year,” Lu said, and Clancy would only be released if those officials eventually decided not to seek recommitment.

Lu, speaking frankly, said the professionals who make those decisions, while dedicated, tend to approach cases like Clancy’s with “a prosecutorial mindset,” making early release unlikely in a major criminal case like this one. “When there’s no involvement of the criminal legal system,” the assumption that a hospital means an easier path “has possibly some validity,” he said. “But when it intersects with a major criminal case, then that preconception is false.”

A legal analyst says a move by the judge in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial could be influencing how jurors approach their verdict.

Cully Stimson, a senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation, told Fox News that under Massachusetts law, jurors are generally instructed not to consider the maximum possible penalties for the charges they weigh. But he said Judge William Sullivan did the opposite, telling jurors the maximum penalty for each charge.

That, Stimson argued, could lead jurors toward “sentence bargaining”, weighing the punishment rather than simply deciding guilt, and possibly toward a compromise verdict such as manslaughter. “The fact that the judge threw this into the punch bowl disturbs me,” he said. Stimson also said the jury’s request to examine the knife and medications showed they are “digging into the details,” and that he expected a verdict “today or tomorrow.”

Jurors in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial have been sent to resume deliberations, which are now entering its third day.

The jury, which consists of nine women and three men, continue to weigh whether Clancy was criminally responsible when she killed her three children.

The panel of nine women and three men can find Clancy guilty of first-degree murder, second-degree murder or manslaughter, acquit her, or find her not criminally responsible because she was in the grip of postpartum psychosis, as the defense argues. Prosecutors say she knew right from wrong.

Jurors in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial are set to resume deliberations Monday morning as they enter day 3 without a verdict. The panel of nine women and three men spent 6 hours and 44 minutes deliberating Friday before being dismissed.

Jurors must decide whether Clancy was criminally responsible when she strangled her three children — Cora, Dawson and Callan — or whether she was in the grip of postpartum psychosis and could not appreciate the wrongfulness of her actions. Prosecutors contend she knew right from wrong and acted deliberately. Clancy does not dispute killing them.

On Friday, jurors sent a note asking to see the 2 bags of pills and the knife Clancy used during her suicide attempt. She faces three counts of first-degree murder.

The insanity defense planned by a North Carolina mother accused of killing her son has drawn parallels to Lindsay Clancy’s trial and raised questions about whether it could become prevalent in criminal cases.

Andrea Faust, 41, is charged with murder and attempted murder in the Feb. 12 death of her 3-year-old son and the attempted murder of her 2-year-old son at their home in Durham, North Carolina.

Her attorneys have filed notice that they intend to rely on defenses of not guilty by reason of insanity and diminished capacity, WRAL reported.

The case is drawing parallels to Clancy’s Massachusetts trial. Retired Massachusetts Superior Judge Jack Lu said he expects similar defenses to be raised more often as the Clancy case draws national attention to postpartum mental-health conditions.

Clancy has pleaded not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility in the 2023 deaths of her three children. Her defense argued she suffered from postpartum psychosis, while prosecutors argue she understood her actions and acted deliberately.
