TL;DR Summary

Lindsay Clancy's lawyers filed motions asking a judge to probe the lone holdout juror’s conduct—potential cellphone use during deliberations and honesty on juror questionnaires—and to dismiss the case on double-jeopardy grounds instead of retrying, following a mistrial in which 11 of 12 jurors believed she was not guilty due to postpartum psychosis. The defense also argued the judge should have replaced the holdout juror; prosecutors have not commented, and Clancy remains charged and housed in a psychiatric facility.
