A new development has landed during Lindsay Clancy's court proceedings.
The 36-year-old's trial—in which she faces three counts of first-degree murder after admitting to killing her kids Cora, 5, Dawson, 3 and Callan, 8 months, in 2023—has encountered an unexpected delay when Judge William Sullivan suddenly excused the jury for the day on Aug. 19.
"This is not something we saw coming, but you're not to speculate about what it is," Sullivan instructed the 18 jurors in court, per ABC News. "You're not to hold it against either side. It's just something that we have to deal with."
Though Sullivan didn't detail the incident further, he did describe it as the result of an "unforeseen circumstance."
E! News has reached out to Plymouth Superior Court for comment but has not heard back.
In recent days, Lindsay’s trial has evaluated records of her digital footprint leading up to the deaths of her children, including text exchanges with her now-ex-husband Patrick Clancy in their final hours before the incident.
