What to know about the Lindsay Clancy murder trial today:
- Closing arguments were presented in Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial Thursday morning following 21 days of testimony in Massachusetts. The jury of nine women and three men began deliberations early Thursday afternoon and were sent home shortly after 4 p.m.; they will continue deliberating Friday morning.
- Clancy has pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree murder in the deaths of her children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and 8-month-old Callan. The prosecution argues Clancy planned the murders and has suggested that her subsequent suicide attempt was not serious. The defense says she should not be held accountable because she was overmedicated and suffering from postpartum psychosis.
- Clancy faces life in prison without the possibility of parole if convicted of first-degree murder. She will be sent to a state psychiatric hospital in Massachusetts if she is found not criminally responsible.
