Defense Pushes to Remove Juror as Clancy Trial Teeters on Mistrial

After six days of deliberations in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, the jury remains deadlocked; the defense sought to remove a juror who allegedly refuses to heed the court’s reasonable-doubt instructions after a juror-note, but Judge Sullivan declined and sent the panel back to deliberations. If a third deadlock note triggers a mistrial, a second trial could follow. The case pits the prosecution’s claim that Clancy planned the killings against the defense’s assertion of postpartum psychosis, with the jury still weighing first-degree murder or lesser charges (or lack of criminal responsibility) in the deaths of Clancy’s three children.
