Judge has officially declared a mistrial in the Lindsay Clancy case. When Judge said it, one of the jurors became visibly emotional. Put hands over face and leaned forward with a big exhale. At one point appeared to be holding back tears.

After sidebar, Reddington addressed court saying “there’s one juror that refuses to listen to the law” regarding definition of reasonable doubt. Reddington wants the juror removed. Sullivan doesn’t agree. Court is in recess as jurors continue deliberation.

After again insisting they were deadlocked this afternoon, the judge read jurors something called the “dynamite charge” - essentially a final insistence to try and reach a verdict - before sending them back once more to deliberate. #LindsayClancy
