A judge denied Lindsay Clancy’s request to question the holdout juror whose vote deadlocked her murder trial, ruling that the mistrial must be assessed based on what was known when it was declared and that probing jury deliberations would be inappropriate. Clancy’s request to dismiss the charges on double-jeopardy grounds remains pending; the holdout juror has publicly defended his position, while other jurors have disputed his account of deliberations.
