Lindsay Clancy trial: jury deadlocked, defense seeks removal of holdout juror
–
Neutral summary
The murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse accused of strangling her three children in 2023, is edging toward a mistrial as jurors failed to reach a unanimous verdict after six days of deliberations. Defense lawyer Kevin Reddington told the court that a single juror was blocking a verdict and asked Judge William Sullivan to remove that juror, but the judge refused and sent the panel back for further talks, which are set to resume Friday. The jury had twice reported being deadlocked, prompting the judge to reinstruct them on the standard of reasonable doubt. Clancy's defense argues she should not be held criminally responsible due to postpartum psychosis, while prosecutors say she planned the killings and understood her actions. If no verdict is reached, prosecutors would have to decide whether to retry the case, which has featured more than 80 witnesses and over 300 exhibits.
