Kevin Reddington has filed a motion asking Judge John Sullivan to end all remaining sidebars in the Lindsay Clancy trial and conduct the remaining arguments in open court. The new filing comes after 11 jurors reportedly raised concerns about one juror and the application of reasonable doubt.
The foreperson’s note reportedly alleged that one juror “refuses to listen to the law” concerning reasonable doubt. Reddington asked the judge to remove that juror and replace them with an alternate, but Sullivan initially denied the request. The judge repeated the reasonable-doubt instructions and sent the same 12 jurors back to continue deliberating.
Now Reddington wants the courtroom fight placed on the public record. Reports indicate the disputed juror could face additional questioning before deliberations resume. We will follow what happens inside Plymouth Superior Court, whether the motion is granted, and whether the jury can reach a unanimous verdict.
The reported split appears to be 11-1, but the court has not confirmed which direction those votes are leaning. Claims that the jury is definitively 11-1 for acquittal or conviction remain unconfirmed. Reddington’s effort to remove the holdout suggests what the defense believes, but it is not a verdict slip.
If the jury remains unable to reach a unanimous decision, a mistrial could become the next major development. That would not amount to an acquittal, and prosecutors could decide whether to retry the case.
