Lindsay Clancy’s lawyer let slip that the lone holdout juror in her murder trial is a man — as the judge in the case grew visibly frustrated with the attorney over his request the jurist deliver his instructions to the 12-member panel more forcefully.
“I would ask that you not give [the jury] a soft inquiry. I would ask that you specifically direct their attention to proof beyond a reasonable doubt and re-instruct them forcefully,” Clancy’s lawyer, Kevin Reddington, said to Judge William Sullivan in court Thursday on the seventh day of deliberations.

Clancy’s lawyer inadvertently revealed that the holdout juror is a man, after referring to the panelist several times by the pronoun “he.” Reuters“What do you want me to do?” an exasperated Sullivan asked.
“I read the instruction … the fact that I perhaps didn’t give it my full inflection, I’m sorry about that, I’m not an actor,” he hollered.
