SCRAMBLE: The Lindsay Clancy trial is a significant turning point in the history of this country
Description
• Jurors in Lindsay Clancy’s trial are continuing their deliberations after they informed the judge this morning they were unable to reach a unanimous decision. The judge sent them back to keep deliberating.
• The Massachusetts mother is accused of murder after strangling her three young children. The jury could consider charges of first-degree murder, second-degree murder or manslaughter.
• Prosecutors have argued Clancy acted “intentionally, rationally, and swiftly” to kill her children. The defense, however, has argued Clancy should not be held criminally responsible because she was suffering from postpartum psychosis. If the jury finds Clancy not criminally responsible for the killings of her children, she could spend the rest of her life in a hospital.
