Watch Live: Lindsay Clancy jury tells judge they are deadlocked

The jury has passed a note to the judge in the Lindsay Clancy trial that they are deadlocked and can’t agree on a verdict. As the Herald has posted in an online poll, the options before them are numerous. They have been sent back in to deliberate, but this could force a mistrial. Follow along here…

10:43 a.m. “It’s still early,” retired Judge Jack Lu told the Herald, saying that the jury’s decision to voice a potential deadlock now “speaks to the deeply emotional and controversial nature of this case.”

“If they express deadlock again [Sullivan] could still, and would be totally justified, to not give Tuey-Rodriguez and send them back to deliberate more,” Lu added. “‘Deadlock’ is a legal term, and a legal determination made by the judge not the jury.”

Tuey-Rodriguez is a charge given to the jurors when they can not agree. After the judge decides to read it to the jury, he’s limited in how many times he can send the jury back to deliberate.

10:15 a.m. The note said, “After many hours of deliberations we are unable to come to an unanimous decision.” There was a quiet gasp from people in the audience.

“I know this was a long trial,” Sullivan said, talking about the more than 80 witnesses and hundreds of exhibits. “Because of that I am going to ask you to go back out, keeping in mind all the instructions that I gave you.”

Clancy remained pretty neutral in her expression during the instructions.

10:14 a.m. Reddington and Clancy are talking. The jury is back in.

10:12 a.m. Sullivan called the attorneys over to side bar. He is holding a piece of paper, maybe a note, in his hands while he talks to them.

10:09 a.m. We are back in the courtroom. This would be on the second question that reporters have been called in for since deliberations started Thursday afternoon.

10:06 a.m. Prosecutors went inside.

10:04 a.m. The jury may have a question. Reporters have rushed the courtroom door.

9:13 a.m. Jury is being sent back to continue their deliberations.

9:11 a.m. Jurors are in. No obvious pink today, something the internet was speculating about yesterday when a juror was wearing hot pink.

9:09 a.m. We’re back in the courtroom this morning, waiting for the judge and jury.
