The judge has questioned the juror and refused to remove them at this stage, emphasizing the importance of jurors following the law and their individual beliefs.

The prosecution contends her planning and internet searches indicate she was mentally capable of committing the crimes. Legal procedures such as a tuey-Rodriguez instruction have been used to encourage the jury to continue deliberating. If the jury remains deadlocked, a mistrial may be declared, though the judge is reluctant to do so.

However, the fall merely left her paralyzed.<\/p>\n<p>The defense maintains that Clancy, who was suffering from a series of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >mental health conditions including postpartum depression<\/a>, psychosis, and bipolar disorder \u2014 and who had received a revolving door of ineffective pharmaceutical interventions for them \u2014 is not guilty by reason of insanity.<\/p>\n<p>The prosecution, meanwhile, maintains that Clancy\u2019s forethought and planning, including internet searches regarding the methods of the killing and sending her husband out on errands that gave her enough time to carry them out, proves that she was mentally sound enough at the time of the killings to support a murder conviction.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/gofundme-lindsay-clancy-family-skyrockets-clancys-mom-reveals-daughter-begged-sleep-night\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Massachusetts has a liberal standard<\/a> on how insanity pleas are considered, which is why many legal observers feel that this standard would end in either a hung jury or an acquittal.
