Lindsay Clancy’s Jury, The Arrest, And What Happens Now

Three developments in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial at Plymouth Superior Court are converging into a single question: what happens next?

The jury has been deliberating for days and has sent notes indicating they cannot agree. Judge Sullivan read the Tuey-Rodriguez instruction and sent them back. The impasse continued. The deadlock centers on a psychiatric dispute that twelve lay jurors appear unable to resolve.

Outside the courthouse, a woman was arrested for filming the jurors. Police found deleted videos on her phone. The judge questioned each juror individually. The arrest created documented interference during active deliberation—evidence that could affect any appeal or future proceeding.

If the jury hangs, the defense enters the next phase with options that did not exist before. A bench trial would put the case before a judge instead of a new jury. A renewed bifurcation motion could split a retrial into two phases, focusing only on criminal responsibility. Massachusetts precedent suggests the DA will retry—Karen Read was retried after a hung jury, as was Emanuel Lopes.

But the depth of the deadlock, the outside interference, and the defense’s strategic options make this a more complicated decision than a simple retry.

Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis covers all three developments and what they mean for Lindsay Clancy, for the DA’s office, and for the mothers watching who needed this trial to deliver an answer.
