The jurors in the Lindsay Clancy case were dismissed Thursday afternoon without a verdict and will return Friday morning.
The jury was composed of nine women and three men.
During closing arguments, Plymouth County Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Sprague delivered a powerful statement arguing why the jury should find Clancy guilty of first-degree murder.
The New York Post reported that one of the female jurors was in tears as Sprague spoke.
“She knew that he (3-year-old Dawson) was less likely to be compliant to just go along,” Sprague told the jury. “She knew that he might struggle, and so it made sense rationally to remove him and separate him first and kill him first.”
“This wasn’t a woman suffering from a lack of care,” Sprague added. “A lack of resources. She had an abundance of help. She had all of that and more.”

During preliminary jury instructions, Judge William Sullivan told jurors that if Clancy were found not criminally responsible, she would likely be committed to a mental institution.
This could have lasted the rest of her life.
“The defendant may remain committed for the duration of her life,” Judge Sullivan said.
The judge also overruled the prosecution and instructed jurors that they could choose “Manslaughter” as an option on their verdict forms.
As TGP readers know, the 36-year-old Clancy was on trial for killing her three young children, Cora, 5; Dawson, 3; and Callan, eight months old, inside their Duxbury, Massachusetts, home on January 24, 2023.
Clancy’s attorneys never disputed that she strangled the children with exercise bands, but argued that she should be found not guilty by reason of insanity. She pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder, arguing that she should be found not criminally responsible because she was suffering from postpartum psychosis.
Prosecutors, though, said Clancy understood that her actions were wrong and intentionally sent her husband, Patrick, away to pick up food and medication before choking the life out of her little children.
She then jumped from a second-story window in an effort to kill herself. Instead, she was left paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair.
Both sides, though, agreed Clancy had postpartum mental health issues beginning in September 2022. As CNN notes, a “mental disease or defect” under Massachusetts law does NOT need to fit into a formal medical diagnosis.
The defense’s closing argument, however, was viewed as less effective by multiple court observers. Notably, Clancy’s attorney, Kevin Reddington, called her a “da*n good mother” even though she killed her own kids.
He also added during an interview that letting his client walk free would prove a victory for “women’s rights.”
JUST IN: Lindsay Clancy’s attorney just gave away the whole ballgame.
He says Lindsay is a “marvelous person” who’s “very concerned about women’s rights.”
They are trying to make this case about women’s rights and distract you from the fact that three children were strangled…

Indeed, many liberal women rallied in Clancy’s defense. For example, hundreds of women wearing pink previously lined the street outside Plymouth County Courthouse, carrying signs reading “She Needed Help” and declaring their support for Clancy.
Thousands of GoFundMe donors also raised over $1 million for Clancy’s parents in just 11 days. Many also left glowing comments toward a woman who admittedly killed her own children.
Woke females on TikTok even posted videos defending Clancy while holding their own children. Some also defamed her ex-husband, Patrick, by falsely accusing him of being the killer.
