Jurors deliberating the murder case against Lindsay Clancy have notified the court they have not yet achieved unanimity on a verdict, according to NPR.
Clancy faces charges of murdering her three children. The case has drawn significant attention as the jury weighs evidence and testimony presented during the trial.
After receiving word that the panel had not reached consensus, the judge overseeing the proceedings directed the jurors to persist in their efforts to arrive at a unanimous decision.
The instruction to continue deliberations is a standard judicial practice when juries report they are deadlocked or struggling to reach agreement. Courts typically encourage jurors to engage in further discussion and review of the evidence before declaring a mistrial due to a hung jury.
No timeline has been established for how long deliberations may continue. The outcome of the case hinges on whether the twelve jurors can ultimately reach unanimous agreement on the charges against Clancy.
