What Deadlocked Lindsay Clancy's Jury After Eighty Witnesses

The jury in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial has been unable to reach a unanimous verdict after days of deliberation at Plymouth Superior Court. Judge William Sullivan read them the Tuey-Rodriguez instruction—Massachusetts' charge for a deadlocked jury—and sent them back. They remained stuck.

This jury heard more than eighty witnesses over five weeks. They saw three hundred exhibits. They listened to psychiatric experts called by both sides who examined the same defendant and reached opposite conclusions. The prosecution's team testified that Clancy was not psychotic on January 24, 2023. The defense's team said she was. Both had credentials, both had data, and both told the jury completely different things.

Twelve regular people were asked to resolve that dispute. None of them have psychiatric training. The jury appears unable to determine which team of doctors told them the truth.

The defense conceded the facts. Clancy killed her three children. Kevin Reddington put the case entirely on criminal responsibility—and in Massachusetts, the prosecution must prove sanity beyond a reasonable doubt. The jury's deadlock suggests they cannot agree on whether the state cleared that bar.

Lindsay Clancy remains charged and held at Tewksbury State Hospital. If a mistrial is declared, Plymouth County DA Timothy Cruz decides whether to retry the case.

Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis examines the deadlock, what it reveals about the limits of the jury system in psychiatric cases, and what comes next.
