@crmnallyobsessed: A tense afternoon in the Lindsay Clancy trial ended with jurors being sent home until Friday after the foreperson raised concerns that a juror was not following the judge’s instructions on reasonable doubt. The revelation marked a significant escalation from the jury’s earlier notes reporting it could not reach a unanimous verdict. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington argued the juror should be removed, warning it would be “a real shame” if the case ended in a mistrial because someone had “spurned” the court’s instructions. Judge William Sullivan declined, saying removing a deliberating juror is a sensitive step and he could not simply side with one juror over the other 11. The Associated Press reports the dispute emerged during an unusually long and animated sidebar involving the judge, attorneys, court officers and, for the first time during the trial, Clancy herself. The AP reported Reddington appeared to gesture emphatically during the private discussion before each juror was later brought into the courtroom individually and questioned by the judge. Sullivan ultimately brought the full jury back in, reminded them they are required to follow his instructions on reasonable doubt and sent them back to deliberate. Gasps could be heard from some spectators. Later, the jurors returned with no verdict. They appeared solemn as Sullivan dismissed them for the day, again telling them to avoid news coverage or discussion of the case. Deliberations resume Friday at 9 a.m. #lindsayclancy #lindsayclancytrial #courtroomdrama
