Live Updates: Deadlocked jury in Lindsay Clancy trial returns for deliberations

Key Points:

• The jury in Lindsay Clancy's trial is deadlocked after six days of deliberations, unable to reach a unanimous verdict on whether she is criminally responsible for killing her three children, with discussions focusing on her mental state and postpartum psychosis.
• Supporters and observers at the courthouse, including women who have experienced postpartum mental illness, have expressed sympathy for Clancy, emphasizing the need for better postpartum mental health care and questioning the appropriateness of the criminal trial.
• Clancy's defense argues that postpartum psychosis, a rare but severe mental health emergency affecting 1 to 2 per 1,000 women after childbirth, led to her actions, while prosecutors maintain she was aware of her actions.
• If the jury remains deadlocked, a mistrial may be declared, and prosecutors will decide whether to retry Clancy or offer a plea deal; meanwhile, Clancy continues to receive letters of support from around the world.
• The trial has highlighted broader issues with postpartum mental health care, with experts noting that although most women with postpartum psychosis do not harm their children, severe cases can lead to harm to self or others, underscoring the importance of immediate intervention.
