A jury is to determine whether Lindsay Clancy is criminally responsible for killing her three children in 2023 in Duxbury, Massachusetts. She was being treated for postpartum mental health issues when she killed the children: Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, who was 8 months old. Plymouth County Superior Court Judge William Sullivan is presiding over the jury trial, which began on July 27 and is expected to last six to eight weeks.

Judge William Sullivan recessed the jury in Lindsay Clancy's trial early today because of "an unforeseen circumstance." Reports say the issue relates to witness scheduling. Clancy's attorney Kevin Reddington began calling witnesses on Monday. The judge heard voir dire from a potential witness today, former McLean Hospital worker Emily Thorndike, and said she can't testify. He recessed the jury about 2:30 p.m. EST. "We're going to excuse you until tomorrow morning. Alight. This is not something we saw coming, but you're not to speculate about what it is. You're not to hold it against either side. It's just something that we have to deal with." "Alright, and so I'm going to excuse you until tomorrow morning. I'm going to remind you, as I have every night for the last number of weeks. Don't do any research about this case. Don't talk about it. Don't read anything. Don't watch anything about this case or similar cases. And with that, we'll bring you back here. We will deal with what we have to deal with, and we'll get right back on track." "We are still well within the timeline that I gave you regarding this case, but it's just something we can't control. So I'm going to excuse you till tomorrow with my thanks for your patience, and I'll see you tomorrow morning. Alright. Thank you." Testimony resumes Thursday (August 20, day 17) at 9 a.m. EST.
