After nearly 30 hours of deliberations, can Lindsay Clancy’s jurors break their impasse? - CNN

The jury in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial remains deadlocked after 30 hours of deliberation. The judge has issued a final instruction to continue working toward a unanimous verdict regarding the charges of murder and manslaughter.
Why it matters
The case is a high-profile example of the intersection between criminal law and mental health defense strategies.
One by one, the 12 deliberating jurors and six alternate jurors in Lindsay Clancy’s trial approached the judge’s bench Wednesday morning. The clerk swore in each juror, and one at a time they listened to the judge speak, while the prosecution and defense looked on. The judge’s words were not audible to reporters in court – but the jurors shook their head or nodded affirmatively during the brief interactions. The judge seemed satisfied with the exchanges. Every one of them. “The Court finds all Jurors are fair and impartial and may remain as Deliberating Jurors and Alternate Jurors,” court records state. When all was done, the 12 deliberating jurors were sent out again to try to reach a unanimous verdict – a monumental task they have yet been able to reach after nearly 30 hours of deliberations.
