Jurors in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy returned to the courtroom for a fifth day of deliberations after the judge asked them to keep working toward a verdict following an earlier deadlock.
When the panel signaled that it could not agree, the judge sent the jurors back to continue their discussions rather than declaring a mistrial. That instruction, a standard step when a jury reports itself stuck, extended deliberations into a fifth day. The jurors were expected to resume their work and again attempt to reach a unanimous decision on the charges.
Separately, a woman was charged with juror intimidation in connection with the case. The trial itself continued as the panel deliberated.
For now, the outcome rests with the jurors. Their continued deliberations leave open several possibilities: a verdict on some or all of the charges, or a renewed report that they remain unable to agree, which could prompt further instructions from the judge. As the panel worked, the courtroom awaited word on whether the deadlock would break.
