Live updates: Judge in Lindsay Clancy trial says he intends to declare mistrial

Key Points:

• Lindsay Clancy’s defense filed an emergency appeal requesting the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court to order further questioning or removal of a holdout juror they claim is biased and refusing to apply reasonable doubt, after the jury indicated deadlock.
• Judge William Sullivan plans to declare a mistrial due to the jury's repeated deadlocks, but granted the defense one hour to file an emergency appeal; legal experts say the Supreme Judicial Court would need to find a clear and egregious error to overrule the mistrial.
• The jury reportedly split 11-1 in favor of acquittal, with the defense accusing the lone holdout juror of lying about following the law, though the judge declined to question the juror further, emphasizing the importance of jury deliberation privacy and instructing the jury to continue.
• Throughout the trial, Lindsay Clancy’s supporters have worn pink as a symbol of solidarity, reminiscent of another Massachusetts trial, while the community and courtroom atmosphere have been tense and emotionally charged.
• Clancy is charged with three counts of first-degree murder for killing her children but does not deny the act, instead arguing she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and should not be held criminally responsible.
