LIVE! Lindsay Clancy Mistrial: The 11-1 Split and What Happens Next

The Lindsay Clancy murder trial has ended in a mistrial after seven days of deliberations and more than 36 hours without a unanimous verdict.

Clancy’s defense says 11 jurors were prepared to acquit her, while one holdout juror prevented the panel from reaching a verdict. After the judge declined to remove that juror and the jury reported that it remained deadlocked, a mistrial was declared.

What caused the impasse? Did the holdout juror properly apply the law, and will the Commonwealth put Lindsay Clancy through a second trial?

Criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor Joshua Ritter breaks down the dramatic conclusion, the fight over the lone holdout and what could happen next.
