Lindsay Clancy Trial Reconvenes, Mistrial Stands

That even though they have agreed and expressed doubt, they are refusing to apply the law as you've given it. So I would ask again that you conduct a hearing and understand that you're probably gonna deny that. For reasons as I stated earlier this morning, that request will be denied. All right, so we ready to bring the jury in? All right, members of the jury, at this point, I'm going to declare that the jury is deadlocked, and I'm gonna declare a mistrial. All right, I just wanted to make a comment. And I'm kind of a history buff. And during World War II, Winston Churchill was the prime minister for England, when England pretty much stood against Nazi Germany alone. And so Churchill oftentimes had to talk to the citizens and say, let us brace for our duties. I always liked that phrase. And I thought of that phrase when all of you were agreeing to be on this jury. You agreed to brace for that duty. And each one of you knew how long the case was gonna go. You knew how difficult the case was gonna be to listen to facts-wise. But still, you braced for that duty. And I just kind of wanted to also let you know, I watched every day, day after day, week after week, all of you performing that duty that you braced for. And I just kind of wanted to let you know I understood how hard everybody worked in this case. I understood that you all gave everything you could, and probably more than you thought you could. And so on behalf of myself, I just want to thank you so much that you should be proud for what you did. You braced for that duty. You performed that duty. And I just kind of wanted to thank you on behalf of myself, in behalf of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Thank you so much.
