[^9]\n\nJudge William Sullivan spoke individually with all twelve jurors, decided not to remove any of them, and ordered them to continue deliberating with a 'Tuey Rodriguez' instruction after the jury twice indicated it was deadlocked. [^10]\n\nThe jury in Lindsay Clancy's trial may return a verdict of first- or second-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter, not guilty, or acquittal on mental-health grounds, and the outcome decides whether Clancy receives life imprisonment or psychiatric commitment.
