PLYMOUTH, Mass. — Lindsay Clancy’s attorney said that the Duxbury mom was feeling nervous as jurors finished their third day of deliberations in her triple murder trial.

“I just get through the day,” Kevin Reddington said outside the Plymouth courthouse’s doors after the jury was sent home Monday, surrounded by a throng of reporters. “I just try to keep her spirits up and talk with her, distract her. It’s tough.”

Clancy is accused of murdering her three children, Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, eight months, in January 2023.

She isn’t disputing that she did the killings. Instead, Reddington argued she was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time and can’t be held criminally responsible for their deaths.

Reddington said he isn’t drawing any conclusions from the fact that the jury didn’t ask any questions Monday or that they’re about 17-and-a-half hours into deliberations.

“I’ve had them out for a week, I’ve had them out for an hour,” he said.

He said that the jurors have been focused and diligent throughout the five-week-long trial, never nodding off and never calling in sick.

Judge William Sullivan instructed the jury on three different charges, first- and second-degree murder, and manslaughter. He told the jury that to convict Clancy of a crime, the prosecution needed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that she was criminally responsible.

The prosecution and defense both agree that Clancy was suffering from a mental disease or defect but disagree on whether she could appreciate the difference between right and wrong or conform her behavior to the law at the time of the killings.

Any decision they make, guilty or not, must be made unanimously.

The nine women and three men deliberating heard testimony from more than 80 witnesses and have access to hundreds of exhibits.

One of the hospital’s records has thousands of pages on its own, Reddington noted. It’s possible, he said, that they might be going poring through that evidence.

So far, they jury has also asked to see the knife Clancy used during her suicide attempt and bottles of pills she was prescribed.

When asked about a juror wearing pink in court Monday, Reddington said he wasn’t reading into it, telling reporters, “A lot of people enjoy wearing pink.”

The color has been a calling card for supporters of Clancy, who’ve come in person to watch the trial and even protested outside the courthouse.

Reddington said that he never expected the case to get so much attention.

“I knew it was obviously a very, very important case, I’m glad for the social implications of it,” he said. “I wish it were over for Lindsay.”

For many people, especially women, he said it appears the case has struck a cord.

“Maybe this gets some light on this issue,” he continued, talking about postpartum psychosis and the medical system. “Maybe this case lit the spark.”

Before leaving the courthouse Monday, a woman who said she was a survivor of prescription-induced mental health issues approached Reddington and asked if she could give him his card.

Her shirt read, “Survivor,” with the “r”s replaced by prescription “Rx” symbols.

A national TV producer also went up to Reddington while he was still in the building to see if he might forgo the media scrum and come to a podium set up by the camera crews.

He declined and instead walked right out the front door.

Earlier in the day, Reddington had railed against some of the media, saying, “this weekend has been horrific with the coverage.”

“And by that I mean Mr. [Sean] Hannity, with his men discussing every little inch of Lindsay’s symptoms and criticizing… Nancy Grace, to coin a phrase, the queen of mean, who misrepresents facts,” he said.

In the afternoon, Reddington said he doesn’t watch much TV but he does look at TikTok.

He continued to rail against Grace, who has been saying that Clancy should be found guilty.

“She’s extremely biased,” Reddington said. “This time she’s crossed a line… she’s gotta stop lying about cases.”

At one point, court officers had to ask the reporters to move away from the doors of the courthouse. The throng continued to follow Reddington to his car — phones, cameras, and microphones in his face the whole way.

The jury will return Tuesday at 9 a.m. to start their fourth day of deliberations.
