Lindsay Clancy jury still split over verdict in her murder trial
The jury in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy told the judge they could not come to a decision on Day 4 of deliberations, but the judge told them to continue discussing. CBS News legal contributor Rebecca Roiphe shares her thoughts.
Dawn Light, a 56-year-old registered nurse with no prior criminal history, has been charged with aggravating intimidation of a juror in the Lindsay Clancy trial. Light allegedly photographed jurors as they exited the Plymouth courthouse on Tuesday, sitting in a restricted area outside the building. Her lawyer argued that it was a misunderstanding, and she pleaded not guilty.
Lindsay Clancy, 36, is charged with the murders of her three children, and the trial has attracted national and international media attention. The jury has been deliberating since Thursday. Prosecutors alleged that Light's phone contained photos of jurors exiting the courthouse, and she was subsequently arrested. The court denied Light's request for a $50,000 cash bail.
Judge William Sullivan has ordered Light to stay away from the courthouse grounds and from those associated with the Clancy trial, forbidding her from taking photos or videos of jurors.
