Link Copied! Tense words, thrown papers and jurors questioned: Inside the courtroom as tensions flared By Nicki Brown in Plymouth, Massachusetts When Lindsay Clancy’s jury sent another note to the judge Thursday afternoon, more than 24 hours after they last reported being at a standstill, the entire courtroom was on edge.
Members of the public, who had spent hours waiting restlessly for a seat in the gallery, craned their necks to look around the room, whispering to one another. Clancy — accused of murdering her three young children during what she says was an episode of postpartum psychosis — sat silently at the defense table with her attorney, staring straight ahead.
When Judge William Sullivan entered, he immediately called the two prosecutors and Clancy’s attorney, Kevin Reddington, to the bench, where the rest of the courtroom couldn’t hear their discussions.
