Lindsay Clancy murder trial: jury enters sixth day of deadlocked deliberations

The Lindsay Clancy trial resumed as a deadlocked jury entered a sixth day of deliberations. Her attorney says he is ready to retry the case if needed.

Lindsay Clancy jury deadlocked after six days of deliberations

Google News MT reports that the trial of Lindsay Clancy has resumed in court, with a deadlocked jury entering its sixth consecutive day of deliberations without reaching a verdict.

The jury was read a so-called "dynamite charge" — a judicial instruction intended to encourage jurors to work toward a unanimous decision — after deliberations stalled, according to reports from WCVB.

CNN reported the panel remained divided after six full days, raising questions about whether the case could end in a mistrial. The Hill noted that a mistrial could, under certain circumstances, result in Clancy being retried rather than acquitted.

Defence attorney Kevin Reddington told The Boston Globe he is prepared for that outcome. "Bring it," Reddington said, indicating he is ready to retry the case should the jury fail to reach agreement.

The trial concerns allegations against Clancy in connection with the deaths of her children. The court session was being followed live by BBC News, which streamed ongoing updates as proceedings continued.
