Is anyone watching the Lindsay Clancy trial?

I am watching the Lindsay Clancy trial unfold, and this is easily one of the most difficult cases I have witnessed. Three children died and now the jury must decide if their mother was criminally responsible for their deaths.

The prosecution is arguing that her actions were premeditated and that she knew exactly what she was doing. The defense is arguing that her mental state impaired her ability to know or control her actions. There is still a lot of evidence to be presented, specifically the medical evidence, so I am trying hard not to make my mind up until it is all presented.

What I have noticed is how challenging it must be to determine actual mental illness versus a made-up legal defense. On the other hand, I do not want to focus so much on her state that we forget about the victims. They were the children who were killed.

What do you think of the evidence that has been presented so far?

Judge asks them to, once again return to deliberations. Reads the Tuey-Rodriguez charge to compel jury one more time to go back and try. Opens way for a mistrial if they can’t come to an agreement.
 

Lindsay Clancy jury recap: Day 5 ends with no verdict after rare instruction​

The jury in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial spent a fifth day deliberating Wednesday, reported for a second time that it was deadlocked, received a rare instruction from the judge urging jurors to keep working toward a verdict and ultimately went home without reaching a unanimous decision.

The latest developments brought the closely watched Massachusetts murder trial a step closer to the possibility of a mistrial, though jurors are scheduled to return Thursday to continue deliberating.


When jurors again reported they remained deadlocked Wednesday, Sullivan delivered a Tuey-Rodriguez charge, a formal instruction encouraging them to continue deliberating while reminding them not to abandon honestly held beliefs simply to reach a unanimous verdict.

Jurors continued deliberating for several more hours after receiving the instruction before Sullivan dismissed them for the day without a verdict.

Sorry to say, but I think the judge is wasting his breath.

Can you imagine the stress going on in that room by now? Can you imagine how much worse it's probably getting by the moment? There are evidently people on both sides that are absolutely refusing to budge (not that I think that's necessarily a bad thing though). I don't think this case would ever have a different outcome, no matter how many times they try it.

Earlier, I was thinking the same thing. Some of them might really be angry at the others. Ugh. I don't think they had a chance from the start. As y'all know, I've been screaming hung jury since page one.
 
Someone on X just tweeted that Clancy was brought into the courtroom.

Crossing this out because no one in the mainstream media is saying the same, that I can find.
