Lindsay Clancy strangled her three children to death in January 2023.
The young children, Cora (5), Callan (8 months), and Dawson (3), were found dead in the Clancy, Massachusetts, home’s basement.
The jury comprises 9 women and 3 men.
Lindsay Clancy admitted to killing her three children, however, her defense team is arguing she should not be found guilty by reason of insanity.
The defense teams argued that Lindsay Clancy was suffering from severe postpartum psychosis and heard voices commanding her to kill her children.
Prosecutors argued that Lindsay Clancy acted with deliberate premeditation and even sent her husband out on an errand while she murdered their kids.
The jury is considering five verdicts:
– Guilty of First-Degree Murder
– Guilty of Second-Degree Murder
– Guilty of Manslaughter
– Not Guilty
– Not Guilty due to Lack of Criminal Responsibility

The judge issued the jury new instructions as they struggled to come to a decision on Wednesday.
On Thursday, jurors were individually brought in and sworn in as they asked questions.
