Lindsay Clancy case judge denies request for juror hearing and plans to declare mistrial

Judge William Sullivan plans to declare a mistrial in the Lindsay Clancy trial after the SJC denies an emergency stay request.

Counsel fights to prevent a mistrial in the Lindsey Clancy matter by urging the court to hold a hearing regarding a holdout juror. Citing the First Circuit precedent United States v. Sepulveda, counsel argues that a juror's refusal to follow instructions constitutes good cause for dismissal. However, the judge denies the request and proceeds with declaring a mistrial.
