Ryan Sullivan Quoted by NPR on the Lindsay Clancy Trial

The trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother charged with killing her three young children, has drawn national attention as jurors work through a case that turns on complex questions of intent and mental state. As deliberations stretched into a fourth day without a verdict, NPR spoke with one of our defense attorneys, Ryan Sullivan, for outside perspective on the deadlock.

Attorney Sullivan told NPR he wasn’t surprised jurors were struggling, describing the kind of standoff that can happen in the jury room when panel members hold firm on opposing views. His comment appears in NPR’s coverage of the trial, alongside reporting on the charges at issue and what could happen next if the jury remains deadlocked.
