Lindsay Clancy jurors are deadlocked, judge sends them back for more deliberations

NBC News • September 1, 2026 • general

Key Points:

The jury in Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial reported being unable to reach a unanimous verdict after nearly four days of deliberations, prompting Judge William Sullivan to instruct them to continue deliberating.
Clancy, accused of strangling her three young children, remains emotionally composed in court, with her family present; both prosecution and defense did not object to the judge’s directive.
Defense attorney Kevin Reddington expressed strong confidence in the jury and affirmed willingness to retry the case if a hung jury results, emphasizing his faith in the jury’s attentiveness.
The jury is considering first-degree murder charges against Clancy, who is accused of killing her children in January 2023, with the defense arguing she was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time, while prosecutors contend the murders were premeditated.
Jurors may also consider lesser charges or find Clancy not criminally responsible if they believe she was in a state of psychosis and unable to control her actions during the killings.
