Lindsay Clancy's Trial Produced THREE Problems At Once

The Lindsay Clancy murder trial at Plymouth Superior Court has generated three simultaneous crises, each with the potential to reshape the case's trajectory.

First, the jury has been unable to reach a verdict after days of deliberation. They have told the judge they are stuck. He read them the Tuey-Rodriguez instruction—the last tool Massachusetts gives a deadlocked jury—and they remained deadlocked. The impasse centers on a psychiatric dispute twelve lay people cannot resolve.

Second, a woman was arrested outside the courthouse for filming the jurors as they left. Police found deleted videos on her phone. The judge questioned each juror individually before allowing deliberations to resume. Any verdict that emerges now carries the shadow of documented outside interference.

Third, if a mistrial is declared, the defense has options that extend well beyond a conventional retrial. Kevin Reddington can request a bench trial, putting the case before a judge instead of twelve jurors. He can renew the bifurcation motion the judge denied pretrial. He enters the next phase with strategic options that did not exist before the first trial.

Massachusetts has retried cases after hung juries before. Karen Read was acquitted at retrial. Emanuel Lopes was convicted. The precedent goes both ways.

Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis covers the deadlock, the arrest, and every path forward.
