## Judge denies evidentiary hearing
Judge William F. Sullivan denied Lindsay Clancy’s request for an evidentiary hearing to question the lone holdout juror who caused a mistrial.
## Juror’s role in mistrial
The one juror who pushed for Clancy’s conviction would not agree to acquit her by reason of insanity despite admitting doubts about her guilt.
## Reddington’s requests
Reddington sought to question the juror about prior criminal justice involvement, cellphone use during deliberations, and court records related to his criminal history.
## Judge’s reasoning
Sullivan stated post-trial information cannot challenge whether the mistrial was justified, and further inquiry into juror’s impartiality is inappropriate.
## Next steps
Clancy’s motion to dismiss the three murder charges on double-jeopardy grounds will be argued at a Nov. 2 hearing.
## Key takeaway

Judge William F. Sullivan denied Lindsay Clancy’s request to question the holdout juror who caused a mistrial in her murder trial.
