This grueling trial, which has sparked strong reactions, is over. The deliberations spanned multiple days, and the jury is officially deadlocked. Are we shocked, given the jury's composition and the fact that two women showed up for deliberations wearing pink? Multiple convictions are under consideration; we just don't know which one is hitting a roadblock here. The judge, who allowed these people to go home over the weekend rather than sequester them, ordered them to return to the room and deliberate further. As of now, we're heading for a hung jury.

MULTIPLE female jurors showed up today wearing pink, which has been used by Clancy fans to show "solidarity," per reports
If that was intentional, these jurors must be REMOVED pic.twitter.com/Dx0KCENHJp
The Clancy jury has told the court that it is deadlocked. As expected, Judge Sullivan is now sending them back. That is a common response to push a jury further. Not surprising given the intense divisions in the country, the jury appears to be manifesting those same divisions...

...They could also be hung on the level of homicide from murder one to manslaughter. We simply do not know. It could be a single juror or a group. This is the type of case that naturally produces intransigence by many. Even a "dynamite order" from the court may not dislodge…

When the jury could have someone, like Lisa Rinna, who thinks the husband, Patrick, killed the kids, mayhem will ensue:
Lisa Rinna refuses to take back her baseless claim that Lindsey Clancy's Husband Patrck killed his three kid's, and not his wife Lindsey.

The crime was heinous: on January 23, 2023. She killed her three children, Cora (5), Dawson (3), and Callan (8 months), with exercise bands and later attempted suicide. Her defense has called her a helluva mother which was met with incredulity. They also admitted that Clancy killed her children. Postpartum psychosis and over-medication is the defense. Meanwhile, the prosecution is arguing that while Clancy's mental health was an issue and declining, she knew what she was doing. They also argue that she wasn’t helpless, as Patrick had a high-six-figure job, worked from home, and had a nanny to help Ms. Clancy around the house.

It’s led to a crackpot reaction from white liberal women who view Clancy as something of a hero, someone they relate to, which is chilling since she’s a child killer. Some of the TikToks have women holding their children. It’s beyond gross.

This comes after her defense attorney described her as "a nurse, a daughter, a wife, and a darn good mother.”
Not sure I’d describe a woman who kiIIed her three children as a “darn good mother,” but alright.… pic.twitter.com/k0BP1lphUj

The jury was 75 percent female. They are to consider convicting Clancy of first-degree murder, second-degree murder, and involuntary manslaughter, as well as acquitting Clancy by reason of lack of criminal responsibility. And then there’s the flat-out not guilty verdict.
