Lindsay Clancy Trial

A Massachusetts woman was arrested outside the courthouse where jurors have been deliberating in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial ... though police have not said whether her arrest is connected to the popularized case.

Dawn Light was taken into custody Tuesday around 3:40 p.m. outside Plymouth Superior Court, a Massachusetts State Police spokesperson told WCVB.

Light is reportedly expected to face a charge of intimidating a witness, juror, or person providing information in connection with criminal proceedings.

Jurors in the Lindsay Clancy murder case told the Judge Tuesday morning that they can't reach a unanimous verdict on any of the counts, but the judge isn't ready to throw in the towel.

The jurors deliberated for 18 hours before they threw their hands up in the air. Jurors are trying to decide if Clancy is guilty of murder, manslaughter, or not guilty by lack of criminal responsibility. The lack of criminal responsibility is essentially an insanity defense.

It's clear some of the jurors were entertaining the lack of criminal responsibility defense when they asked to see the knife she allegedly used to slash herself and the pill bottles.

The jury has gone back to deliberate.

As we previously reported ... Clancy’s defense attorney, Kevin Reddington, has argued she was suffering from postpartum psychosis when her three children -- Cora, Dawson and Callan -- died at the family's Massachusetts home in January 2023.

Prosecutors maintain Lindsay was criminally responsible.

Lindsay has pleaded not guilty ... however, she acknowledges killing the children. Her ex-husband Patrick Clancy has already taken the witness stand, describing the devastating discovery of his children and his call to 911 which was played in court.

There's increasing evidence Hayden Panettiere's boyfriend, Brian Hickerson, was under the influence in the months before her death, and finally someone unifies the U.S. -- Dolly. So we gotta ask ...

Spencer Pratt is comparing Lindsay Clancy to a pit bull that kills a kid ... saying some impulses should get you removed from society for good.

Spencer weighed in on X Saturday ... reacting directly to the Clancy case as jurors continue weighing whether she should be held criminally responsible for killing her three children.

The former 'Hills' star wrote ... "When a pit bull kills a kid, we exterminate them," arguing the animal may not understand why it acted but still can't be trusted afterward.

Lindsay Clancy is "scared" and "nervous" as the jury deliberates her case ... at least according to her lawyer.

Kevin Reddington said on Thursday Lindsay is worried as the jury entered their first day of deliberations ... but he remains optimistic.

As he left court, he stated ... "I think that they have to weigh all of this evidence, and I believe that the government ultimately has not proven their case."

The jury began deliberating earlier in the day about whether or not Lindsay is criminally responsible for the deaths of her 3 kids.

Closing arguments in Lindsay Clancy's triple-murder trial just wrapped up.

The final pitches -- from prosecutors and the defense -- came after more than 20 days of testimony in the Massachusetts mother’s closely watched trial.

Lindsay is accused of strangling her three children -- 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and 8-month-old Callan -- and then attempting suicide inside their home in January 2023.

She has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder ... with her defense arguing she was suffering from postpartum psychosis, and, therefore, not criminally responsible for the killings.

Brittany Romano says she's received violent death threats over the image of her smiling during the Lindsay Clancy trial.

The freelance reporter took to Instagram to explain her expression, saying ... "I smile through anxiety. I smile when I'm uncomfortable. That is not indifference, it is a nervous system managing strain the only way it knows how."

Brittany says she's been fighting to cover the Lindsay Clancy case for years because Lindsay had been called a "monster" and her husband Patrick got to tell his story ... she says she went to Vanity Fair wanting to "rebalance the scales."

Here's Lindsay Clancy's attorney ripping a forensic psychologist who testified that she should have done more legwork to address her alleged mental health issues ... before she snapped and allegedly murdered her three kids.

In a heated moment from Lindsay's murder trial Tuesday, defense attorney Kevin Reddington hammers Dr. Kirk Heilbrun over his testimony that Lindsay should've asked for advice from friends and family -- and looked up medications herself when she was feeling her postpartum symptoms before the kids were strangled to death.

Reddington was blown away by the testimony ... and tried to use the statement to show how his client was not properly cared for by other doctors prior to the horrific events.

3:19 PM PT -- Brittany Romano responded to the developments with a lengthy message on Instagram ... saying in part, "I am a credentialed, freelance journalist, and Vanity Fair allegedly told TMZ they revoked my access over the smile, which is absurd, since I never had a contract with them for a piece to begin with."

The Vanity Fair reporter who went viral for her unsettling grin and wink during the Lindsay Clancy murder trial has to find something new to smile about ... because the outlet has called off the essay from her they planned on running.

A spokesperson for VF's parent company, Condé Nast, tells TMZ ... "We were interested in the prospect of a personal essay by Brittany Romano about her experience growing up with Lindsay Clancy. Yesterday, after clear conflicts with our editorial standards and processes, we informed Romano that we were not moving forward with her essay and informed the court that she is no longer credentialed by Vanity Fair."

Romano went viral on Monday, when a camera panning the courtroom caught her in the front row of the gallery ... she mugged for the camera, with a super creepy smile ... and even freaking winked.

The Vanity Fair reporter who went viral for her unsettling grin and wink during the Lindsay Clancy murder trial has an explanation for her expressions ... and it's unusual.

Here's the deal ... Brittany Romano stole the show Monday, when a camera panning the courtroom caught her in the front row of the gallery ... she mugged for the camera, with a smile meant for a horror flick ... and she added a wink for good measure.

A streamer caught up with Brittany in the parking lot and asked her why the heck she was grinning ear-to-ear in a setting that was anything but joyful.

Her answer ... she "grew up with Lindsay" ... and also she was mugging for her dad.

Lindsay Clancy will not be getting a mistrial ... after the judge shot down her defense team's request Monday following controversial testimony about religion.

The drama unfolded during testimony from forensic psychologist Dr. Kirk Heilbrun, who brought up Clancy's belief that she and her children would be together in heaven ... and referenced Catholic teachings on suicide being a "mortal sin."

Clancy's attorney immediately objected and asked for a mistrial, calling the testimony "over the top ... talking about religion, talking about heaven, talking about killing people and the impact it would have on Lindsay as well as her children."

But Judge William Sullivan said no dice.

One of Lindsay Clancy's supporters says the Massachusetts mom shouldn't be on trial for murdering her 3 children ... she says the mental healthcare system failed Lindsay.

Renee Kimball joined us on "TMZ Live" Friday ... and we asked her what justice looks like for her.

She says Lindsay deserves to get the help she begged for and to be able to move on with her life and help others who are going through postpartum psychosis.

Renee organized Thursday's rally at the Massachusetts courthouse where Lindsay is on trial, and tells us her group's support for Lindsay is not meant to justify the deaths of her children.

Lindsay Clancy's supporters turned out in force Thursday morning, as her murder trial entered Day 17 ... with dozens gathering outside the Massachusetts courthouse in a show of solidarity for the mom accused of murdering her three young children.

Many of the supporters wore pink and held signs as they stood outside Plymouth Superior Courthouse. Another group also gathered at Tewksbury State Hospital, where Clancy remains hospitalized.

They even crossed paths with Clancy's defense attorney -- Kevin Reddington -- who spoke to reporters and said his client is so "beat up" and just "so sad."

Here's Lindsay Clancy's ex-husband Patrick Clancy looking stressed in New York City with his new wife, Rachel Danis, while Lindsay faces murder charges in Massachusetts, where she's accused of killing their three kids.

The pair was seen at an apartment in Manhattan around 8 PM on Thursday, while Lindsay's murder trial was on a break. An eyewitness tells us Patrick and Rachel spent roughly 30 minutes on and off their phones and appeared visibly stressed as they talked among themselves.

Patrick was seen taking phone calls and pacing in circles while using his phone. At one point, he reportedly sat with his feet on a table and wiggled his toes. We're told Rachel remained mostly on the couch, talking and taking phone calls of her own.

Lisa Rinna is joining the band of conspiracy theorists who say Lindsay Clancy is innocent of murdering her three small children ... and she's pointing the finger at Lindsay's ex-husband.

As you know ... Clancy is currently on trial, accused of brutally slaying her children before she attempted to take her own life. Her defense is severe postpartum psychosis, extreme mental illness, along with being impertinently overmedicated -- which the children's father, Patrick, supports.

And as with any huge criminal case dominating the headlines ... the tinfoil hat crowd shares its own version of what they think happened ... and Lisa just gave the group a signal boost.
