Jurers in the Lindsay Clancy trial have deliberated for more than 35 hours following five weeks of testimony. The jury has indicated to the judge that they are deadlocked and unable to reach a verdict, prompting concerns about the trial's outcome.

In light of the jury's deadlock, Judge William Sullivan has suggested he might declare a mistrial. However, the defense made a last-minute appeal to prevent this, seeking an emergency stay from the highest state appellate court.

As reported by CBS News, the defense, led by lawyer Kevin Reddington, filed an emergency appeal following the judge's comments about a potential mistrial. The Supreme Judicial Court conducted a virtual meeting to address this appeal, although the final decision on the trial has yet to be determined.
