NBC News • • nation
Key Points:
- Jurors in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial were sent back for a fifth day of deliberations after reporting a deadlock, with no unanimous decision reached after nearly an hour of discussion on Tuesday.
- Dawn Light, 56, was arrested outside the courthouse for aggravated intimidation of jurors after officials found photos and videos of jurors on her phone, though she claims she was only waiting to wave to Clancy and denies taking such media intentionally.
- The judge ordered Light to stay away from the courthouse, jurors, and witnesses, and prohibited her from sharing any related photos, while no bail was set.
- Clancy is on trial for the alleged murder of her three children, with her defense citing postpartum psychosis and auditory hallucinations as factors, while the prosecution argues she planned the killings and was not in psychosis at the time.
- The jury faces charges ranging from first-degree murder to manslaughter or not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility, and the defense is prepared to proceed with a second trial if the jury remains deadlocked.
