The Lindsay Clancy murder trial resumed Wednesday, Aug. 19, for Day 16 of testimony, as the defense continued its case that the 36-year-old Massachusetts woman is not criminally responsible for the deaths of her three children in January 2023. After the judge denied the motion to call TikTok creator Emily Thorndike to the witness stand, he called a brief recess.
After a brief recess, Judge William Sullivan excused the jury until Thursday morning at 9 a.m. due to what he described as an unexpected circumstance out of the court's control.
Sullivan called a recess without describing further the reason for the unexpected break as soon as the jury returned from the scheduled lunch break.
