Fox News national correspondent Bryan Llenas reports as jury deliberations enter a sixth day in the Lindsay Clancy trial and questions emerge over whether the panel can reach a unanimous verdict. Llenas details defense attorney Kevin Reddington’s claim that one juror is refusing to follow the law on reasonable doubt and the latest developments from the courtroom on ‘The Story.’
The jury deciding Lindsay Clancy’s fate ended a dramatic sixth day of deliberations Thursday without a verdict amid a dispute involving a holdout juror, with deliberations set to resume Friday.
The panel of nine women and three men has twice reported being deadlocked. Jurors are expected to return Friday, when Judge William Sullivan is also set to address a dispute involving one member of the panel.
Earlier Thursday, defense attorney Kevin Reddington unsuccessfully sought to remove a juror after the foreperson reported that the person was refusing to follow the court’s instructions on reasonable doubt.
Reddington warned that the case could end without a verdict because of a juror who had "spurned the instructions" of the court.

Prosecutors objected to removing anyone, arguing there was no way to determine who was right or wrong without improperly examining the jury’s private deliberations. They said Sullivan had acted appropriately by questioning the jurors about whether they could follow the law and again instructing them on reasonable doubt.

Sullivan declined, calling the removal of a deliberating juror "a sensitive undertaking" and saying the court could not take sides in the jury’s deliberations.
After court, Reddington revealed that a later jury note appeared to show an 11-to-1 divide.

"When a note that the judge already has says that there are 11 jurors that have made a decision and one juror will not apply reasonable [doubt]…" Reddington said.
The note does not reveal which verdict the 11 jurors favor or how the remaining juror is leaning.
