Lindsay Clancy’s attorney said the juror he claims is preventing a unanimous verdict looked the judge “in the eye and lied” on Thursday, when the juror pledged to follow instructions about proof beyond a reasonable doubt.<\/p>\n
Defense attorney Kevin Reddington said a note from the jury foreperson indicated the holdout juror “made statements acknowledging doubt but refuses to apply it.”<\/p>\n
“This person will not apply reasonable doubt to the evidence” and return a verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity, Reddington told Judge William Sullivan.<\/p>\n
Sullivan disagreed, saying the note “does not indicate this is a person who refuses to follow the law.”<\/p>\n
Sullivan declined to conduct a further inquiry of the juror but said he would remind the entire jury it must follow the law whether they like it or not.<\/p>\n
Reddington pushed the judge to be more forceful in his instruction.<\/p>\n
Sullivan interrupted.<\/p>\n
“What do you want me to do, get a brass band?” an exasperated Sullivan said. “I am not glossing over this issue.”<\/p>\n
Jurors then filed stoically into the courtroom to begin a seventh day of deliberations.<\/p>\n
The judge told jurors not to identify one another in any future notes and reminded them about his instructions after Thursday’s dust-up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
