Jury in Lindsay Clancy Murder Case Asks for Pill Evidence as Trial Enters Final Deliberation Stage, Defense Says She's 'Scared'

The jury in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial requested to look at a bag of the mother's pills as the case enters its final deliberation stage.

Her attorney Kevin Reddington revealed the jury's request while speaking to NBC News outside the Plymouth, Mass., courthouse on Friday, August 28.

"She’s nervous. Sad. Scared. Same as she has been," Reddington said of his client.

The hearing marked the second day of deliberations to determine whether Clancy murdered her three children, which kicked off around on Friday at around 9:15 a.m. About four hours later, the jury asked its first question about the pill evidence, which was initially not publicly disclosed.

Reddington claimed that the jury wanted to see a "bag of pills" that he showed during his closing statements, along with "other pill bottles and a knife that were all entered as evidence in the case."

The jury – which consists of nine women and three men – must decide if she's guilty of first-degree murder. If convicted of the first-degree charges, she faces life in prison.

As OK! previously reported, Clancy is accused of fatally strangling her three children, Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, in the basement of her Duxbury, Mass., home in January 2023, before attempting suicide by slitting her own throat and jumping from a second-story window.

The prosecution believes she planned the murders ahead of time by ordering her then-husband, Patrick Clancy, out of their home to run errands as she used exercise bands to strangle their three kids.

Lindsay confessed to killing her children, though her defense team is seeking a not-guilty verdict by reason of insanity, arguing that she was experiencing a severe psychiatric episode at the time of the killings.

According to testimony presented during the trial, she spent the months before the deaths seeking treatment for serious mental health issues.

Over 85 witnesses took the stand during the trial, including Lindsay's mom and sister who testified about her declining mental health. The defense also introduced extensive medical logs showing she was prescribed a hefty "cocktail" of up to 13 different psychiatric medications in the four months leading up to the murders, which they argue exacerbated her altered mental state.

In most states, the defendant's legal team must prove a lack of criminal responsibility, commonly known as an insanity defense. However, Lindsay's is unique because, in her home state of Massachusetts, the burden falls on the prosecution, which must convince a jury beyond a reasonable doubt that she criminally responsible for murdering her children.
