00:00Under the statute and the case law, I don't feel I have a choice but to declare this trial.
00:06It is with a heavy heart that we report we are unable to come to a unanimous decision and will
00:12not be able to.
00:13I would find that under Massachusetts case law and statutory law, the jury did not ask to be sent back,
00:21which would be a possibility if they had requested it to be sent back to them.
00:26But under the statute and the case law, I don't feel I have a choice but to declare this trial.
00:33Over the defendant's objection, I'm going to declare a mistrial at this point.
00:39In the matter of Commonwealth v. Lindsay Clancy, the court declares a mistrial.
00:44All prior bail orders remain in full force in effect.
00:46This matter is continued to September 29, 2026 at 9 a.m. for status, trial assignment, and the Rule 25
00:54motion in Plymouth.
00:55All right.
