Lindsay Clancy defense wants juror removed on 6th day of deadlock, judge reminds jury of reasonable doubt
Judge William Sullivan sent the jury back after rejecting a defense bid to remove a holdout juror as deliberations neared 35 hours.
- On Thursday, defense attorney Kevin Reddington moved to remove a juror after the jury submitted a question, but Judge William Sullivan declined and sent the panel back to continue deliberations after reiterating reasonable doubt instructions.
- Lindsay Clancy faces charges for the January 24, 2023, deaths of her three children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan; the defense argues she suffered from postpartum psychosis, while prosecutors contend the killings were planned.
- Reddington alleged one juror "refuses to listen" to the law, sparking a heated sidebar where he reportedly waved papers aggressively; Sullivan confirmed each of the 11 other jurors affirmed their ability to follow instructions.
- Judge Sullivan issued Tuey-Rodriguez instructions after the second deadlock notice, granting the jury one final opportunity to reach a verdict; a third deadlock could trigger a mistrial, with Reddington prepared for a second trial.
- Whether prosecutors will seek a retrial remains unclear, as the jury continues deliberating on whether Clancy is criminally responsible for the 2023 incident, with conviction options ranging from first-degree murder to acquittal.
