The jury in the trial of Lindsay Clancy resumed deliberations for a sixth day on Thursday, September 3, 2026, prompting a fervent plea from the defense for a juror's dismissal.
Lindsay Clancy's defense attorney, Kevin Reddington, argued passionately before Judge William Sullivan that one juror was refusing to adhere to the court's instructions regarding reasonable doubt. Reddington expressed frustration that a potential mistrial could result from a single juror disregarding the law, stating, "If we come back here in a half an hour with a mistrial because of a juror that has just spurned the instructions of the court, it’s a shame. It’s a real shame."
During a sidebar discussion with the judge, Reddington was visibly emotional, at one point slamming his papers down and raising his voice. Despite his impassioned argument, the judge did not dismiss the juror, and deliberations continued into their 35th hour.
