Clancy trial jury may be close to verdict or mistrial depending on one juror
The Lindsay Clancy murder trial resumed Friday as jurors returned for a seventh day of deliberations following a stunning turn of events.
The Lindsay Clancy murder trial in Massachusetts resumed on Friday, with jurors entering their seventh day of deliberation after discussing the case for 35 hours. The jury is currently deadlocked at 11-to-1, with the holdout juror allegedly not adhering to the judge's instructions on reasonable doubt. Clancy's defense attorney, Kevin Reddington, believes this juror should be dismissed, but the judge has denied his request.
The judge instructed the jury on the meaning of reasonable doubt, emphasizing that every individual is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Should the holdout juror not be removed, the jury's impasse would result in a mistrial.
