  Speaker 1: We're going to go to Brian Yennis because we're getting
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: some rumblings in the Clancy courtroom as well. We're told
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: the media is being allowed back into the courtroom. Brian Yennis,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: our national correspondent on the scene there. What can you
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: tell us, Brian?
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Hey, Martha. Well, we know that the media has been
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: allowed back into the courtroom, but we have been given
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: no guidance as to why. Our courtroom producer, Maria, is
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: going to give us an update as soon as she
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: has it. What we do know is that this jury
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: was at an impasse today when they told the judge
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: in a note this morning after an hour of deliberation
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: that they could not meet. a unanimous, they could not
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: reach a unanimous decision. So now they have been deliberating
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: for about six hours more. They usually end deliberation, they
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: usually end their day in court by 4 p.m. So
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: we should get some clarity at any moment now. As
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: to whether or not this will be an end of
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: deliberation day four, which means this jury will be back
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: tomorrow at 9 a.m., or whether or not they perhaps
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: have another note, Martha, as this jury of nine women
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: and three men. continue to mull over this incredible decision
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: they have to make as to whether or not Lindsey
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Clancy is criminally responsible for strangling her three children. So
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: we shall see at any moment now. And then, again,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: as we have seen day in and day out, there
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: will be a live feed inside that courtroom if, in fact,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: this jury is going to be dismissed for the day.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: We will find out at any moment now together.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Martha.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's interesting, Brian. We saw the same
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: thing yesterday. They allow all the media to come in.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: And yesterday we just heard, OK, we're done. Thank you
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: very much for your service.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: Come back tomorrow.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: And as you pointed out, we're going to go live
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: to the courtroom, Brian, and you can watch this along
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: with us. Let us know if you want to pipe
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: in here.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: To recess and return tomorrow.
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: So that's what we're going to do.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: We're going to bring them in and then we will
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: release them until tomorrow morning.
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: Okay?
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Council, ready for the jury? Yes.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: Council?
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Yes. All right, yeah.
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: All rise, jurors enter. This concludes now the session. Please
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: be seated. All right.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Well, thank you, Madam Clerk, members of the jury. So
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: my understanding is that you would request to be excused
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: till tomorrow at 9 o'clock. So I'm going to excuse
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: you till then. I just want to thank you for
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: all your hard work and commitment so far in this case.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: And you know what I'm going to do. I'm going
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: to remind you. You've come this far. Do not read anything.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Don't listen to anything. Don't talk about this case. And
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: we'll come in tomorrow morning.
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: We'll bring you all in.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: I'll ask you the same questions I've been asking you
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: for weeks now, and we'll get you right back out
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: to resume deliberations. All right. Thank you again for all
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: your work. Thank you.
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: Thank you. Court, all rise. This way, please.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: All right, see Lindsay Clancy there awaiting her fate, the
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: mother of three children that she admits to murdering in
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: the basement of her Duxbury, Massachusetts home. And this is
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: a case that has got the attention of everybody across
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: this country, that's for sure. Let's just dip back in
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: with Brian Yannis at the courthouse in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Brian,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: what are you learning?
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Well, Martha, look, I mean, this is 23 hours of
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: deliberations over four days for this jury of nine women
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: and three men. They will be back tomorrow morning. It
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: is interesting to note that they went back after sending
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: that note that they were deadlocked, and they spoke for
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: another six hours. And instead of perhaps sending in another
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: note saying they wanted more time or that they perhaps—
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: are still at an impasse, it's interesting that they've decided
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: to go back for the night. I mean, it implies
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: that they're still working through this to see if they
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: can reach a unanimous decision one way or the other.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: And I think it's important to note one last time, Martha,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: we do not know the split of this jury. We
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: don't know if there's 6-6 in there or if it's
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: 11 versus 1. So a lot to kind of just
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: infer based on what we're seeing. But we'll be back
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: here again tomorrow at.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: 9 a.m., Martha.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: And that is the system in this country. You have
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: to have a unanimous verdict. There are nine women and
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: three men on this jury. And we will see, as
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: you say, we don't know what the split is or
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: how far they have to go. But at least it
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: sounds like they said, OK, we're going to go home
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: and sleep on it. We're going to come back in
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: here tomorrow and get back at it. So, Brian Yennis,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: thank you very much. We just want to quickly bring
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: in Donna Riccino, criminal defense attorney. host of Crime and
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Justice with Donna Rotuno podcast and Fox News contributor. Donna,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: any quick thoughts on what we're hearing here from this
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: jury and the action today?
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: Well, I commend this jury, Martha. I think it's pretty
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: astounding that we got this note this morning that they
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: were deadlocked and now they continue to work. They have
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: not come back to the court to say we can't
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: continue to deliberate. We are still at an impasse. So
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: it looks as if they still want to work through this.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: And I have said all along that juries want to
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: get it right. Juries want to make a decision. So
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: I think that that's what they are trying to do.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: The fact that we have had no other questions from
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: this jury lead me to believe that they understand the facts,
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: the law, and the evidence here. They're just having a
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: hard time coming to a consensus on what all of
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: us have watched happen over the last four weeks in
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: this courtroom. Absolutely.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Donna Rotundo, thank you very much. Good to see you.
