The jury in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial reported being deadlocked for a second time, with jurors telling the judge they could not reach a unanimous verdict after multiple days of deliberations. Judge William Sullivan responded by issuing a Tuey-Rodriguez instruction, sometimes called a "dynamite charge," a last-resort measure that asks jurors to continue deliberating and give the case one final chance. The jury appeared to be split roughly 11-1 according to reporting, and the judge sent them back to continue their work, with a mistrial becoming an increasingly likely possibility if they remain unable to agree.
