Judge William Sullivan dismissed the jury for the day after he warned them to follow the law on reasonable doubt.

'What I’m going to do is excuse you until tomorrow morning at nine o’clock,' Judge Sullivan said.

He then advised them to continue to follow his instructions - do not discuss the case.

Court was then dismissed for the day.

About an hour earlier, the jury foreperson sent a note to the judge saying that one of the 12 is not following the law when it comes to reasonable doubt.

The jurors were each asked, one by one, whether they could follow the law on reasonable doubt. It sounds like they all said yes.

The judge then gave that renewed instruction focusing on reasonable doubt.

Reddington then revealed that one juror is holding up the verdict and asked the judge to remove that person.

Lindsay Clancy's father Paul Musgrove was seen with his head in his hands after Judge William Sullivan ordered jurors to keep deliberating for a third time in court.

'I’m sure the parties understand that the discharge of a deliberating juror is a sensitive undertaking,' Judge Sullivan said.

'I was just specifically responding to the specific question that was asked. I don’t feel that it is proper for me to side with one side or the other of the deliberations. I don’t feel it’s appropriate for me to say I agree with one juror or the 11.

'At this point, I’ve asked if they are able to follow my instructions; they swore earlier that they could.'

Prosecutor Sprague insisted the judge's instructions on reasonable doubt were sufficient.

'We have the note from the jury. There's no way to determine what the deliberations are, who's correct, who's incorrect, nor should we attempt to, because that is part of deliberations,' she said.

'I think what Your Honor has done, by asking each juror if they're able to follow the law and then giving a general instruction on reasonable doubt, is appropriate.'

After a brief recess while deliberations resume, the parties involved in the Clancy trial have been called back to the courtroom.

After the judge sent the jury out to continue deliberations, he called a sidebar with the attorneys.

Then the judge allowed the lawyers to speak in public, and Clancy's defense lawyer, Kevin Reddington, revealed that one juror is holding up the verdict.

'The court has an instruction from the foreperson of that jury who’s been working for a week now, saying that there’s one juror who refuses to listen to the law that you’ve given him or her on reasonable doubt,' Reddington said, growing animated.

'I suggest respectfully that the soft instruction that you gave them, saying at the sidebar, "Can you listen to the law as I instruct you?" does not focus on the issue. The question is not sufficient enough. It does not allow any foundation for a motion to remove the juror who refuses to accept your instructions on the law.

'If we come back here in a half hour with a mistrial because a juror that has just spurned the instructions of this court, it's a shame.

He then moved to remove the juror.

Judge William Sullivan reminded the jury of his instructions on reasonable doubt and ordered them to continue deliberations.

'You are required to follow my instructions on the law as I gave them to you,' he said.

'Reasonable doubt. The burden of proof is on the Commonwealth to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant is guilty of the charges made against her.

'If, after you've compared and considered all of the evidence, you have in your minds an abiding conviction to a moral certainty that the charge is true.

'When we refer to moral certainty, we mean the highest degree of certainty possible in matters relating to human affairs based solely on the evidence.'

Sullivan continued: 'I've told you that every person is presumed to be innocent until they are proved guilty, and that the burden of proof is on the prosecutor.

'If you evaluate all the evidence and you still have a reasonable doubt remaining, the defendant is entitled to the benefit of that doubt and must be acquitted.'

He concluded: 'With that, I'm going to ask you to resume your deliberations.'

The entire jury entered the courtroom.

The sidebar concluded and Clancy was brought back to the defense table.

Reddington shared a mint with his client.

All 12 jurors are done speaking to the judge.

Now the attorneys and Clancy are speaking with the judge.

Each juror is being brought in to speak to the judge as Lindsay Clancy watches from the bench.

The judge is standing at his bench, looking down. Around him: Clancy in her wheelchair, Reddington behind her, prosecutors next to them, and court officers.

One by one, each juror briefly speaks to the judge in front of Clancy and the teams, then leaves.
