Summary
A lone holdout appeared to split Lindsay Clancy's jury 11-1 as deliberations ended for a sixth day in Plymouth County Superior Court.
Judge William Sullivan twice re-explained his instructions and the meaning of proof beyond a reasonable doubt, then sent jurors back to continue weighing the case Friday.
Defense lawyer Kevin Reddington urged the judge to remove the juror, arguing that person was not following the law; Sullivan refused, saying he could not take sides in deliberations.
Clancy, 36, is charged with killing her three children in 2023, while the defense says postpartum psychosis left her not criminally responsible and prosecutors argue the killings were planned.
