Plymouth, Massachusetts —
Over the last six weeks, Lindsay Clancy’s triple-murder trial has transformed this courthouse – a lofty building flanked by fields and farmland – into a chaotic scene bustling with swarms of journalists, true crime fanatics and outspoken spectators.
Now there’s nothing left for them to do but wait.
Clancy’s jury concluded its fourth day of deliberations Tuesday afternoon, hours after they told the judge they had reached a standstill. The news, revealed in court earlier in the day, elicited an audible gasp inside the courtroom and prompted Judge William Sullivan to implore jurors to work through their disagreements to break the impasse.
With jurors expected to return early Wednesday, suspense is building as the crowd around the courthouse and millions online await the conclusion of a heartbreaking case that has captivated the nation.
