The Lindsay Clancy jury has now officially deliberated for 17 hours, and by asking to head home early for the day,  it appears they are nowhere near a verdict.  In fact, we didn’t hear a peep from the jury of 9 women and 3 men all day:  no questions, no requests for evidence, nothing.    Day four of deliberations will begin promptly at 9am tomorrow, making this verdict watch already longer than some of the most recent and high profile murder cases in the country.

As we continue to await official word from the Lindsay Clancy jury, conspiracy theorists online are creating their own headlines. At issue, two jurors reportedly walked into court today wearing pink, and folks online are claiming that means those jurors are signaling their support for the Massachusetts mom, after hundreds of women showed up in pink outside the courthouse last week in defense of Lindsay Clancy and women’s mental health issues. The chatter online has grown so loud, that some people are demanding a mistrial.

More than two dozen countries around the world have special laws to prevent a new mother from being convicted of murder if she kills her own child within 12 months of giving birth.  That means a jury would not be considering first or second degree murder charges against Lindsay Clancy if the same exact scenario happened in most other western, industrialized countries. It all dates back to the “Infanticide Act of 1938” which allows for manslaughter charges to be brought against a mother who kills her child under a year old because “the balance of her mind was disturbed by reason of her not having fully recovered from the effect of gibing birth to the child.”

The jurors in the Lindsay Clancy trial will begin day three of deliberations as they weigh competing medical diagnoses, along with any of their own personal experiences with parenting, motherhood and mental illness. Legal experts say it’s likely an emotional and overwhelming task for jurors, as they determine whether or not mental illness prevented the Massachusetts mom from knowing right from wrong as she strangled her three young children. Meantime, there was an interesting development outside of the courtroom: Dr. Avram Mack resigned from his position at a Delaware children’s hospital immediately after wrapping up his highly contentious testimony where he said Clancy was not suffering from postpartum psychosis.

The Lindsay Clancy jury will continue deliberations Monday, but they've already deliberated longer than the juries in the trials of OJ, Dahmer, Scott Peterson, Alex Murdaugh, and Susan Smith. But they've got a long way to go if they're going to deliberate as long as the Charles Manson jury. Amy and T.J. go through the deliberation times in some famous cases (MJ, Chauvin, Cosby, Yates, Zimmerman, etc) and see what it tells us the Clancy jury.
