I've sort followed this case but didn't dig into the details and arguments of the case other than the charges and the defense claiming postpartum psychosis.
She should be found guilty regardless of the postpartum stuff. It was a deliberate act and in the very least she should never see the light of day.
In one way I can understand that a person snaps and makes a split second decision with it was a mental breakdown or whatever. But reading through this, it was all planned out by her. I didn't know she created a window of time to do this.

The prosecution did us no favors.
Everyone and their dog can now say “well, I planned everything out to a T but I was insane in the membrane when I did xyz”. Now women can just murder their kids and be found NG.
It’s sickening.

I’d bet the prosecution got paid under the table to throw the case. It’s Massachusetts. Their governors senior aide quite literally got busted trafficking pounds of cocaine less than 12 months ago and it was a non-story. It is the most corrupt state in the union. Their only saving grace is being propped up by old money

yes - this was calculated t of time,
her attempts at 'suicide' afterwards just more theatre

I don't get the insanity plea with respect to murder. OK...so they actually didn't understand the difference between right and wrong, and maybe they are frickin crazy...
Who cares? This is murder. Fry them in a clown suit.

Multiple outlets are reporting that the jury went to the judge that they were deadlocked.
Judge sent them back in to argue some more.
Hung jury seems to be the result that's gonna drop

Serious props to the jurist(s) finding her guilty holding their ground and not giving in. Attrition can be a factor in a jury decision after several days of arguing.

If this was 100 years ago, she would already be dead. A mob would have stormed the jail and lynched her.

The thing that concerns me the most about this trial, is the tens of thousands of women who legit believe that even if she murdered her children, the doctors and husband should be held criminally liable for negligence. (Even though Lindsay received more support than 99% of women ever will).
This has slowly crept from he said she said non-sense, situations of, "Yes I consented, but now I regret it so it's SA", etc... to, "I don't care if she murdered all of her children, frick men, it's their fault".
Women already give themselves a pass on physical, verbal and emotional abuse once a month because of their hormones. Now they're excusing murder of multiple children because of a similar reason.
I'm not entirely sure what's next, but as a man who is still looking for a potential wife, it scares the ever living shite out of me that SO many women think this way.

100%
It's one of two scenarios
1) 3 of the 12 jurors are male and at least 1 (or more) are likely arguing for murder 1 or 2 and the rest think that is too harsh.
2) 9 of the 12 jurors are female and at least 1 (or more) are likely arguing for not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility as a lesser penalty.

If they say not guilty by crazy....does she go to mental institution. She can't be let out in the public if she is this unstable. There is more in play than just postpartum. There bi-polar on top of that as well.
All I can say, is I don't know how that dad can carry on. This is situation where I wouldn't want to live.

That’s an excellent summary. The women claiming the husband did it when no one, not even Lindsay or her defense, make this claim need to be locked up in the cells next to her.

I know people hate AI, but it's been incredibly helpful in researching and understanding this case. See below.
Because an insanity verdict is an acquittal of criminal charges due to mental illness rather than a criminal conviction, she cannot be sent to prison. Instead, Massachusetts statutory procedures govern her confinement:
1. Mandatory Initial Commitment
Immediate Evaluation: Upon an insanity verdict, the court automatically orders her committed to a secure state psychiatric facility (such as Tewksbury Hospital, where she has been held) for an initial 40-day observation and evaluation period.
6-Month Order: Following that initial period, the district attorney or facility superintendent petitions the court for a formal civil commitment. If a judge finds that she remains mentally ill and presents a danger to herself or the community, she is committed for an initial period of up to six months.
2. Indefinite Annual Review (Potentially for Life)
Yearly Hearings: Under Massachusetts law, commitment orders must be re-evaluated annually. State doctors evaluate her mental stability, and a judge reviews whether she continues to pose a danger to herself or society.
No Expiration Date: There is no maximum time limit. She can remain hospitalized in the facility for six months, several years, or for the rest of her life if doctors and judges determine she remains a potential risk or requires continued institutional care.
3. Requirements for Release
For her to ever be discharged from the state hospital:
Hospital psychiatrists must formally certify that she is no longer suffering from an active mental disease or defect that makes her a danger.
A judge must review the psychiatric findings and approve her release.
Legal analysts frequently compare this potential outcome to the high-profile case of Andrea Yates, who was found not guilty by reason of insanity in 2006 for the deaths of her five children; Yates has spent nearly two decades in a high-security state mental facility and continues to decline annual release reviews. In practice, individuals committed after high-profile homicide cases rarely secure quick releases.

Massachusetts law is doing the prosecution no favors. The burden of proof rests entirely on the prosecution to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that she was criminally responsible at the time of the acts.
Clancy does not have to prove that she was insane. Instead, the prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt:
(1) that she was mentally capable of understanding that what she was doing was wrong or illegal; OR
(2) that she had the ability to control her actions and conform her conduct to the requirements of the law.
If the prosecution fails to prove her sanity beyond a reasonable doubt, the jury must find her not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility. If the jury finds Clancy was not criminally responsible, she will be committed to a state hospital. Yearly reviews will determine whether she should stay or can be released.
Under Massachusetts law, a judge has strict limits on how many times they can force a deadlocked jury to deliberate. After the first impasse, the judge can instruct the jury to keep working (which happened on Tuesday morning). After the second impasse: the judge delivers the Tuey-Rodriguez charge. (Like an Allen Charge, this is Massachusetts' version of a "dynamite charge." It formally instructs jurors in the minority to re-examine their stances, question their own doubts, and listen with candor to the majority's arguments.) After the third Impasse, the judge cannot send them back out without the jurors' consent. At this point, a mistrial must be declared.
All it takes is one holdout on the jury to force the judge to declare a mistrial due to a hung jury.

There's 9 women on that jury. Ain't not shot they all go home and don't read anything or watch any videos.
From what I have seen from tens of thousands of women on social media, there will be one woman on that jury who will take a stance against the majority simply because her and Lindsay share the same genitals.
Gun to my head, I'd bet the farm on hung jury.

She may escape justice in this life but won't in the next.

I’m not comforted in that sentiment.
