The Lindsay Clancy jury was dismissed for the day after they failed to reach a verdict on day four of deliberations.The panel of 12, nine women and three men, has now deliberated for about 23 hours to determine whether Clancy is guilty of murder, manslaughter or not criminally responsible for her actions.Earlier on Tuesday, the jury told Judge William Sullivan they could not reach a unanimous verdict, but he ordered them to keep deliberating.‘Members of the jury, I've got your question, and the question is, "After many hours of deliberation we are unable to come to a unanimous decision,"' Sullivan said.He acknowledged the length of the trial, but ordered the jury to continue deliberations and sent them back.'I brought you back out because I know that this was a long trial, alright. I know that there were over 80 witnesses, there were over 300 exhibits, but because of that I'm going to ask you to go back out, keeping in mind all of the instructions that I gave you, to go out and to continue your deliberations,' Sullivan said.At the end of the day, the jury asked to be excused, and the judge agreed.'My understanding is that you request to be excused until tomorrow at 9 o'clock, so I'm going to excuse you until then,' Sullivan said as several members appeared to nod. The Lindsay Clancy jury was dismissed after they failed to reach a verdict on the fourth day of deliberations in her murder trial The jury told Judge William Sullivan on Tuesday that they could not reach a unanimous verdict, but he ordered them to keep deliberating'You've come this far; do not read anything, don't listen to anything, don't talk about this case.'Clancy, 36, is on trial for the murders of her three children, Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan, at her home in Duxbury, Massachusetts, in 2023.She admitted to killing her children but pleaded not guilty to murder by reason of insanity, citing postpartum psychosis as a result of overmedication.During the five weeks of testimony, prosecutors argued the killings were intentional and well planned, not the work of someone who had lost control.The jury must reach a unanimous decision on whether Clancy is guilty of murder, manslaughter or not criminally responsible for her actions.If the jury cannot reach a verdict, the judge will eventually be forced to declare a mistrial.The group has not been sequestered during discussions.As he left the courthouse on Tuesday, Clancy’s defense attorney, Kevin Reddington, told reporters that he is encouraged by the jurors' request to be dismissed for the day.

I think that they're showing that they're more than willing to keep working at it.'Clancy was also visited by her former colleague who testified in her defense on Tuesday.Labor and delivery nurse Margaret Hamp, who worked with Clancy for seven years at Massachusetts General Hospital, was escorted inside Plymouth County Superior Court by an investigator hired by Reddington during the trial.Hamp stayed inside for a few minutes before investigators escorted her out again.She was the first defense witness who described Clancy as 'compassionate' and 'really good at being a nurse.'On the stand, she said the two discussed Andrea Yates's harrowing case long before Clancy's incident, to which the Massachusetts mom asked: 'How could a mother hurt her children?'Yates, whose case has been compared to Clancy's, drowned her five children in a bathtub in Houston in 2001, but was found not guilty by reason of insanity in the case.
