Lindsay Clancy trial bombshell: jury deadlocked, what happens next? | Drop Dead Serious

After nearly six weeks of testimony, 80 witnesses and more than 300 exhibits, the jury deciding Lindsay Clancy’s fate says it cannot reach a unanimous verdict. But the deadlock does not mean the trial is over. The jurors have been sent back to continue deliberating, leaving one enormous unanswered question: what is dividing them? In this episode of “Drop Dead Serious,” Ashleigh Banfield is joined by Judge Ashley Willcott to break down what happens next, how far the judge can push a deadlocked jury and when those instructions risk becoming coercive. They also examine the possibility of a mistrial, whether prosecutors would put Lindsay Clancy on trial again, how the jury’s unknown split could shape that decision and whether Patrick Clancy’s wishes could influence what comes next.
