Jurors in Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial announced Tuesday that they are deadlocked — but the judge sent them back to deliberate more.
The 12-person jury – made up of nine women and three men – told Judge William Sullivan that they could not agree on whether to convict Clancy, 36, of three counts of first-degree murder after almost 18 hours of deliberation.
“I’ve got your question and the question is: ‘After many hours of deliberation we are unable to come to a unanimous decision’,” the judge said.
“I brought you back out because I know that this was a long trial. I know there were over 80 witnesses, there were over 300 exhibits, but because of that I’m going to ask you to go back out, keeping in mind all of the instructions that I gave you, to go out and continue your deliberation at this time.
“So with that … I would ask you to resume your deliberations at this time,” he told jurors.
Two Massachusetts veteran criminal defense attorneys said if the jurors tell Sullivan again at some point that they still can’t reach an agreement, the judge would then give them a formal instruction called a “Tuey-Rodriguez” charge, telling them again to try to come to an agreement.
Boston attorney Peter Elikann said the Tuey-Rodriguez charge is “known colloquially as the dynamite charge… And it really pushes the jury and urges them to try to work out a unanimous decision. It’s almost equivalent to a pep talk by the judge encouraging them to go back and try harder.”
And if the panel still can’t reach a verdict after that, Sullivan could choose to declare a mistrial.

I guess murdering children is okay if you’re on drugs, to some people who are also probably on “medication”.
My guess would be the 2 pink shirt wearers are the holdouts.
Headline makes no sense; she hasn’t denied murdering them...
What has happened to Massachusetts? I know they have been liberal for 80 years but now they seem to have turned totally crazy.
There were three pink shirt wearers.
Isn’t it interesting the judge didn’t sequester the jury and the jurors claim they are not looking at anything about the case online or otherwise but three of them wore pink shirts which are being worn by people protesting outside the courtroom claiming she’s innocent.
And was that a run-on sentence? Scuse please.
Hokay. Next time put the shrink who prescribed the drugs on trial too.
The jury can consider manslaughter.
Its the women wearing pink.
They’re going to determine she’s not responsible due to mental issues, therefore it’s not “murder” because she didn’t know what she was doing. /spit
Next time put the shrink who prescribed the drugs on trial too.

I agree. School shooters are often on meds. If the loss of control was caused by the meds, the psychiatrists need to go to jail.
Sometimes I ponder if it’s time in western civilization to reel back the power of women
They have it completely at the mercy of men and it was fine for a long time
When I was a boy we were the same ideologically
Its maybe in the 90s I started seeing the rot of feminism start to takes more effect
Despite the support of modern institutions for this new paradigm anyone reasonable can see it’s been fairly disastrous
How to accomplish a return at least somewhat to traditional male and female roles we’ve had since wolves became dogs I don’t know
But if we continue on this path it will destroy us
that’s because some of the jurors make no sense ...
She’s admitted to murdering them. A few reprobate jurists don’t think she’s a murderer.
9 women, and 3 of them wore pink today? Jury nullification. (and I’m a woman).
Oh well, looks like this will go to a retrial.
Technically, she hasn’t actually admitted murdering them. but she claims she is not guilty.
The Salem witch trials failed to cleanse the gene pool.
Can they consider not guilty by reason of insanity?
I haven’t followed the actual trial, just seen news reports.
If your mother is a lefty Democrat kids, sleep with one eye open. Have an escape plan.
The pink demons lining the streets is just evil in its purest form.
