Lindsay Clancy jury wraps day 6 with bombshell one-juror standoff, deliberations to resume Friday

The jury deciding Lindsay Clancy’s fate has ended its sixth day of deliberations without a verdict due to a dispute involving a holdout juror. The defense attorney sought to remove the juror for allegedly refusing to follow instructions on reasonable doubt, but the judge declined. Deliberations are set to resume Friday, and if a unanimous decision cannot be reached, the case could end in a mistrial.
