Jurors headed home yesterday without a verdict in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial after roughly 17 hours of deliberations over three days. Clancy is charged in the January 2023 deaths of her three children at the family's Duxbury, Massachusetts home. She has pleaded not guilty with the defense arguing she lacked criminal responsibility because of severe mental illness. The jury now set to return this morning to continue weighing a five-week trial that included competing expert assessments of Clancy's mental state along with hundreds of exhibits and extensive medical records.
Two female jurors reportedly wearing pink as they deliberated Monday, the same color worn by many of Clancy's supporters waiting outside the courthouse each day. It is unclear if the outfit choice had anything to do with support for Clancy. Judge William Sullivan dismissing the panel yesterday afternoon, again reminding jurors to avoid coverage of the case and not discuss it outside the jury room. We spoke with the MK True Crime Show co-host Dave Aronberg, a former prosecutor who says the length of deliberations is not surprising in a case like this.

**Dave Aronberg** (3:49)
I'm not surprised it's taken this long because it was a lengthy trial.
The country is split on this and the jurors reflect the country. And that's why I would have been surprised if it was a quick verdict. But if it was a quick verdict, it would have been not guilty because the prosecution is going to have a hard time proving that top charge of first degree murder or even second degree murder.

**Megyn Kelly** (4:12)
If jurors cannot reach a decision, Aronberg says the judge does have steps to take before declaring a mistrial.

**Dave Aronberg** (4:19)
The judge will order the jurors to go back in and continue deliberating. And then if they are hopelessly deadlocked, he'll then declare a mistrial. But the judge will twist their arms a little bit and say you know, there's a certain charge you get, which is keep deliberating and then eventually they'll give in. But there's still a long way to go.

**Megyn Kelly** (4:42)
Aronberg arguing that the manslaughter option could give jurors a middle ground between a murder conviction and finding Clancy not criminally responsible.
