    Lindsay Clancy Mistrial: The 11-1 Split and What Happens Next

    09/05/2026 | 39 mins.
    The Lindsay Clancy murder trial has ended in a mistrial after seven days of deliberations and more than 36 hours without a unanimous verdict.

    Clancy’s defense says 11 jurors were prepared to acquit her, while one holdout juror prevented the panel from reaching a verdict. After the judge declined to remove that juror and the jury reported that it remained deadlocked, a mistrial was declared.

    What caused the impasse? Did the holdout juror properly apply the law, and will the Commonwealth put Lindsay Clancy through a second trial?

    Criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor Joshua Ritter breaks down the dramatic conclusion, the fight over the lone holdout and what could happen next.

    Lindsay Clancy Verdict Watch: Is a Mistrial Coming?

    09/03/2026 | 24 mins.
    The Lindsay Clancy jury remains in deliberations after reporting that it could not reach a unanimous verdict. Then a woman was arrested outside Plymouth Superior Court after allegedly filming jurors, leading to a warning from the judge and individual questioning of every juror.

    Reporting from outside the courthouse, criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor Joshua Ritter explains why the jury’s silence may suggest movement, what happens if jurors again say they cannot agree, and when Massachusetts’ Tuey-Rodriguez instruction could lead to a verdict or mistrial.

    Later, Josh breaks down the decision ordering Tyler Robinson to stand trial for the killing of Charlie Kirk and why the death penalty remains on the table.

    The jury returns Monday to continue deliberations in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial after two days without a verdict. NewsNation senior correspondent Laura Ingle joins former prosecutor and criminal defense attorney Joshua Ritter to discuss what happened inside the courtroom, what jurors may be weighing and whether their requests to examine the knife and prescription bottles offer any clues about where deliberations are headed.

    Plus, Josh breaks down Bryan Kohberger’s latest attempt to undo his guilty plea, including new motions seeking to disqualify the judge and move his post-conviction proceedings back to Latah County.
