Podcast: Justice Matters with Glenn KirschnerPublished On: Tue Sep 15 2026
Description: The Lindsay Clancy triple-homicide case - of her three children - has riveted the nation for weeks. In my 30-year career as a prosecutor, I had more jury deadlock notes than I could ever count up. Given that the jury in the Clancy case has indicated it may be deadlocked - unable to reach a unanimous verdict - this video explains the law regarding jury deadlock notes, mistrials, and the ensuing decision a prosecutor must make about whether to retry the case.
