Jurors in Lindsay Clancy murder
trial fail to reach verdict on 2nd day
PLYMOUTH, Mass. -- Jurors in the Lindsay Clancy trial have ended a second day of deliberations without a verdict. Clancy is on trial to determine whether she was responsible for her actions when she killed her three children in 2023. The jury began deliberating Thursday afternoon and met again Friday.
They'll be back Monday morning. Clancy doesn't deny strangling her children. But her lawyer says she did it because she lost her grip on reality due to a rare mental illness that can follow childbirth. Prosecutors say Clancy knew what she was doing. They say she killed the children because she was depressed and tired of living.
Trump administration appeals latest ruling blocking his mail voting order from taking effect.
Trump appeals judge's decision
on mail-in voting restrictions
WASHINGTON -- The Trump administration is appealing a judge's decision that blocked an executive order limiting mail voting before the midterm elections. The court filing Friday comes after a federal judge in Boston handed down a new decision blocking President Donald Trump's order for two weeks. The Supreme Court has allowed the administration to work on the plan, but didn't decide whether it's legal. The whipsawing legal battle unfolding days before the first states begin sending out mail ballots could have major ramifications for the midterms.
Chemical tank in Washington
called unfit for service before failure
An inspection contractor found a chemical tank at a Washington state paper mill was unfit for service 10 months before its fatal failure in May. The U.S. Chemical Safety Board released an investigation update Friday on the tank failure at the mill in Longview that killed 11 workers and injured several others.
It was one of the deadliest U.S. workplace disasters in recent decades. The Chemical Safety Board found that Nippon Dynawave Packing Company continued to operate the tank without making repairs despite three inspections from an outside contractor that recommended them. The federal agency said it's still determining what caused the failure. A company spokesperson says it won't comment on findings or documents at this time because the investigation is ongoing.
Juul gets OK to sell updated vaping
device with age-gating technology
WASHINGTON -- E-cigarette maker Juul Labs has received U.S. permission to sell an updated version of its vaping device. The new product was announced by federal regulators on Friday.
It includes an electronic age-verification system to prevent underage use. The decision from the Food and Drug Administration means Juul can sell a new version of its vaping device for the first time since it launched in 2015.
The company was briefly the top-selling e-cigarette in the country. But it faced a swift legal backlash over underage use of its nicotine-emitting products.
