Commonwealth v. Clancy, September 2, 2026
The jury is expected back at 9 a.m. Wednesday for a fifth day of deliberating, after Sullivan excused it Tuesday afternoon still without a verdict.
Key points
- THE JURY IS EXPECTED BACK AT 9 A.M. WEDNESDAY FOR A FIFTH DAY OF DELIBERATING. Judge Sullivan returned to the bench at 3:30 Tuesday afternoon after the jurors indicated they wanted to stop for the day, and told them, “My understanding is that you requested to be excused until tomorrow at 9 o’clock, so I’m going to excuse you ‘til then,” thanking them for their “commitment.” Boston Globe, September 1, 3:33 p.m.; CNN, September 1, 3:32 and 3:33 p.m.
- NOTHING HAS YET BEEN REPORTED FROM THE WEDNESDAY SITTING. This entry was written Tuesday afternoon, after the jurors had gone, and everything in it is an expectation drawn from what was said Tuesday. It will be replaced by an account of the day as the day is covered.
- THE JURY GOES INTO A FIFTH DAY WITH ABOUT TWENTY-THREE HOURS BEHIND IT. CNN put Tuesday's session at about six hours, bringing the panel's total across the first four days to roughly twenty-three, with no verdict returned on any of the three counts. CNN, September 1, 3:32 p.m.
