Judge Denies Request to Question Holdout Juror in Clancy Mistrial

A Massachusetts judge on Wednesday denied a request from Lindsay Clancy’s attorneys to question a holdout juror whose dissent ultimately led to a mistrial in her triple-murder case.

Clancy, who is accused of killing her three young children, is still scheduled to appear in court on November 2 for the next hearing. However, Judge William Sullivan rejected the defense’s attempt to use this appearance to investigate the actions of the specific juror who prevented a unanimous verdict.

The trial concluded in a mistrial last month after the jury deliberated but could not reach a unanimous decision. The case is ongoing, with the next court date set for November 2.
