[^1]\n\nDefense attorney Kevin Reddington stated on September 3, 2026, that a single juror is preventing the jury from reaching a unanimous verdict in the trial of Lindsay Clancy. [^2]\n\nJudge William Sullivan refused a defense request to remove a juror accused of failing to follow instructions on reasonable doubt during the Lindsay Clancy murder trial. [^3]\n\nJudge William Sullivan declined the motion to remove the juror, stating it is improper for him to side with one side of the deliberations. [^4]\n\nLindsay Clancy, 36, faces life in prison without parole if convicted of first-degree murder for killing her three children on January 24, 2023. [^5]\n\nThe holdout juror reportedly refuses to listen to the judge's instructions on reasonable doubt, preventing the jury from reaching a unanimous verdict. [^6]\n\nThe jury sent Judge Sullivan notes on September 2 and September 3, 2026, stating they were unable to come to a unanimous decision after deliberating for six days. [^7]\n\nJudge William Sullivan stated that it is improper for the court to side with one side or the other of the jury's internal deliberations. [^8]\n\nThe jury of nine women and three men had deliberated for about 35 hours and twice told Judge William Sullivan it could not reach a verdict before the dispute over the individual juror emerged. [^9]\n\nProsecutors argued that Clancy intentionally chose to kill her children because she had decided to kill herself and was convinced they would suffer without her.
