Dawn Light, a supporter of Lindsay Clancy, pleaded not guilty to charges of aggravated intimidation of a juror after allegedly filming jurors as they left the courthouse. The incident occurred shortly before Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial in the Clancy case.

Light, 56, reportedly drove her Toyota into a restricted area of the court premises and filmed jurors exiting the building. According to prosecutor Nicole Piacentini, Light initially claimed she was waiting to see if Lindsay Clancy would emerge from the courthouse, not filming the jurors. However, Piacentini alleged that a video of jurors was found on Light’s phone in a deleted folder.

Light’s attorney, Jennifer White, disputed the allegations, characterizing the event as a "complete misunderstanding" and stating her client intended only to photograph Lindsay Clancy. White emphasized that Light had no intention of interacting with the jurors.

While the judge denied the prosecution's request for $50,000 bail, Light was ordered to stay away from the courthouse, witnesses, and jurors, with exceptions only for her own court appearances. If convicted, she faces up to 20 years in prison.

Light has reportedly attended other high-profile trials, including those involving Alex Murdaugh and Karen Read. She previously garnered media attention in April 2017 when, while mourning her son Zachary, who died at age 22 from a seizure, she fell into his open grave at Millbury’s Central Cemetery. At the time, Light told NBC that she had to dig herself out of the hole.

Light’s husband, Daniel, died in 2013 from complications related to ALS. Light is a retired nurse.

The trial of Lindsay Clancy, 36, resulted in a mistrial after jurors deliberated for approximately 40 hours. The jury informed the judge they were deadlocked for a third time. Clancy is accused of fatally strangling her three children, Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, in January 2023. Her defense team has argued that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis, exacerbated by prescription medication, and sought a verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity. Prosecutors contend the killings were premeditated.

Clancy's next court hearing is scheduled for September 29.
