POLICY WIRE — Massachusetts, USA — Judge William Sullivan officially declared a mistrial on Friday evening in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy.
The decision followed a second notification in two days from the jury stating they were unable to arrive at a unanimous decision.
The deadlock occurred after the jury spent nearly 40 hours in deliberations.
The mistrial was finalized after a justice from the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court refused to grant an emergency order.
Prior to the final declaration, the possibility of a dynamite instruction was considered as a means to break the jury’s impasse.
