The jury in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial reported being deadlocked for a second time on Wednesday after five days of deliberations, prompting Judge William Sullivan to issue a Tuey-Rodriguez instruction—a last-resort measure asking jurors to continue deliberating and attempt to reach a unanimous verdict. Clancy, a Massachusetts woman accused of murdering her three children, has admitted to the killings but pleaded not guilty, claiming postpartum psychosis. The deadlock raises the possibility of a mistrial, though legal experts remain divided on whether a verdict remains achievable.
