Somebody treated the Lindsay Clancy murder trial like a celebrity sighting ā and it happened at the worst possible moment, while the jury was already telling the judge they couldn't agree.Ā
A 56-year-old woman was arrested outside Plymouth Superior Court, accused of secretly filming jurors as they left the building during deliberations. She claimed she'd come to see Lindsay. Police found deleted video of the panel on her phone regardless. Judge Sullivan had to pull every juror aside individually to make sure deliberations could keep going ā all while the panel was already deep in a deadlock nobody expected to break easily.Ā
This jury heard eighty witnesses across five weeks and worked through more than three hundred exhibits. Prosecution psychiatrists testified Lindsay Clancy wasn't psychotic when her three children died. Defense psychiatrists said she was. The defense isn't contesting the physical evidence ā the exercise bands, the DNA, none of it ā only whether she was criminally responsible, a question Massachusetts law puts squarely on the prosecution to disprove.Ā
When the jury said they were stuck, Sullivan gave them the Tuey-Rodriguez instruction, effectively telling them this is as good as the evidence gets. They went back anyway. They're still stuck.Ā
If it ends in a hung jury, nothing is settled. Lindsay Clancy remains charged with three counts of first-degree murder, still held at Tewksbury State Hospital, still paralyzed from the waist down, while Plymouth County DA Timothy Cruz decides whether to do this whole trial again.Ā
Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony to break down the deadlock, the courthouse spectator who may have handed both sides a mistrial argument, and what happens to a case this fractured next.Ā
