There’s one thing legal experts can agree on in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy: prosecutors’ burden of proof just got much heavier.
Jurors have been deadlocked for days as they weigh the evidence against Clancy, a Massachusetts mother who strangled her three children in 2023. Her defense says she was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time.
The week’s tensions came to a head on Thursday when the jury foreperson complained to the judge that one of the 12 jurors was refusing to consider reasonable doubt as required by law, according to Clancy’s defense attorney, Kevin Reddington.

Things to talk about
The former school security guard who is owed $12 million from Deion Sanders’ son Shilo collapsed in court and was taken to the hospital by ambulance after completing his testimony in Shilo Sanders’ bankruptcy trial Thursday. John Darjean was released from the hospital later in the day. The incident marked another dramatic turn in the case, where Sanders is trying to break free from the $11.89 million judgment he owes Darjean stemming from an incident at Sanders’ school in Dallas in 2015.
