Summary
A judge declared a mistrial in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial on September 4 after jurors formally communicated they were deadlocked and unable to achieve a unanimous verdict.

The defense team made an eleventh-hour emergency appeal to a higher court seeking a stay of proceedings, but that appeal was immediately and summarily denied.
