Jurors in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial are back deliberating for a sixth day this morning
0:07
with the possibility of a mistrial now very real. The jury has spent about 30 hours over five days trying to reach a verdict
0:15
and jurors have told the judge twice now that it's deadlocked. The second time came Wednesday afternoon

That led Judge William Sullivan to give the jury what's known as the Tui Rodriguez charge

from postpartum psychosis and hearing a voice commanding her to kill her children and herself

Prosecutors say she was not psychotic and planned the killings. And there was another development

outside the courthouse. 56-year-old Dawn Light was arraigned Wednesday, accused of intimidating

jurors after police found photos and videos on her phone that included jurors leaving the court

Light pleaded not guilty. Her attorney says she wasn't trying to film the jury
1:36
She was there to see Clancy. And when reporters asked her about it, Light was pretty direct
1:41
Dawn, why were you filming? Because I wanted to see Lindsay. Did you mean to intimidate the jury
1:45
You thought you were going to see Lindsay. I was going to. I did. So why were you purged by her
