Woman arrested for ‘intimidation’ outside Lindsay Clancy trial

A Massachusetts woman has been charged with one count of intimidation of a witness, jurors, or person furnishing information in connection with criminal proceedings, according to state police.

Dawn Light, 56, of Sutton, was arrested about 3:40 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 1, outside Plymouth Superior Court, a state police spokesperson said. The agency did not confirm that the charge was related to the Lindsay Clancy case, but the time is when the jury was being released for the day.

Lindsay Clancy is on trial for killing her three children in January 2024. Clancy says she is not criminally responsible due to postpartum psychosis. The jury has been deliberating for 23 hours and has told the judge they are deadlocked. The jury returned to the courtroom at 9 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 2.

The trial has attracted significant attention since it began on July 27. The media interest has increased, as have conspiracy theories and the number of people looking for information on the trial.

There is no specific Massachusetts law prohibiting photos outside the courthouse.

That said, there is a state law that prohibits the "intimidation of witnesses, jurors and persons furnishing information in connection with criminal proceedings."
