The jury weighing Lindsay Clancy's fate asked to go home for the evening and has been dismissed until Tuesday morning, ending another day of deliberations without a verdict.

Big picture view: The panel of nine women and three men, led by a female foreperson, must decide whether Clancy was criminally responsible when she strangled her three children, or whether, as the defense argues, she was in the grip of postpartum psychosis and could not appreciate the wrongfulness of her actions or conform her conduct to the law.

Prosecutors contend she knew right from wrong and acted deliberately.
