Single holdout juror blocking verdict in Lindsay Clancy murder trial, defense bids removal of juror

A single juror is preventing a unanimous verdict in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, who is accused of killing her three young children in Duxbury, Massachusetts, on January 24, 2023. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington moved to have the holdout juror removed, stating the juror "refuses to listen to the law that you've given him or her on reasonable doubt," but Judge William Sullivan declined the request. Deliberations have extended into a sixth day, with the jury sending multiple notes indicating an inability to reach a unanimous decision. If a mistrial is declared, prosecutors would need to decide whether to retry the case. Clancy faces life in prison without parole if convicted of first-degree murder, but could be committed to a state psychiatric hospital if found not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility.
