Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis covers the full scope of what is happening in and around the Lindsay Clancy murder trial at Plymouth Superior Court.
The jury has been stuck for days. They sent deadlock notes. The judge gave them the Tuey-Rodriguez instruction. They went back in and still could not agree. The impasse appears rooted in a medical dispute—dueling psychiatric experts who examined the same woman and reached opposite conclusions—that twelve people with no medical training cannot resolve.
Outside the courthouse, a woman was arrested for filming the jurors as they left. She told reporters she came to see Lindsay. Police found deleted videos on her phone. The judge questioned each juror one by one before letting them continue. The arrest creates potential grounds for appeal if a verdict is reached and complicates any future proceeding if it is not.
If a mistrial is declared, the defense has options the public has not heard about. A bench trial would let a judge decide instead of a jury. A renewed bifurcation motion could narrow a retrial to the single question this jury could not answer. Massachusetts precedent points toward a retry, but the combination of the deadlock's depth, the outside interference, and the defense's available moves makes this a more complex calculation.
Faddis breaks down all three developments—the deadlock, the arrest, and what comes next.
