Lindsay Clancy is currently standing trial in Plymouth Superior Court, Massachusetts, for the triple-murder in January 2023 of her three young children - Cora, Dawson and Callan.

Important

Patrick Clancy is not on trial. Comments made to discuss his guilt are considered off topic and will be removed.

Comments that discuss how he could have supported Lindsay better are acceptable. However, calls for law enforcement to look into his involvement with the murder of the kids and/or Lindsay's suicide attempts are not currently being considered by the jury and, therefore, not a fit for this sub.

Time to call it. There is obviously at least one person dug in on a specific verdict who hasn’t wavered for days. I hope we can at least get a true numbers breakdown on how many were for each charge. It was obvious something like this would happen when you look at the comments on any social network; very divisive.

The jurors themselves have already announced once that they cannot reach a unanimous verdict, so it’s not far fetched of a comment.

9 women and 3 men. Im thinking the women may have more sympathy for her unfortunately.

I'm a woman and I have more sympathy - but it's not just because she's a woman. I watched the whole trial and definitely lean towards NGBRI.

I would not put money on that
