ter leaving court Thursday that the foreperson's note identified the holdout juror to the judge.

He said he's hoping that before the judge questions that juror on Friday, attorneys on both sides will get to argue over the specifics of that inquiry.

Reddington wants that debate out in the open, not in a private sidebar conversation.

A single juror may be preventing a verdict. The judge had them sleep on it

A deadlocked jury returns Friday for the seventh day of deliberations in the Lindsay Clancy trial, a day after the jury's foreperson informed the judge that a single juror wasn't following the court's instructions about reasonable doubt.

The extraordinary disclosure made Thursday in the form of a note delivered to the judge offered the clearest glimpse yet of what may be keeping jurors from reaching a verdict on whether the Massachusetts mother is criminally responsible for killing her three children.

The jury has twice told Judge William Sullivan that it is unable to agree on a verdict. On Thursday, Sullivan brought in each juror individually and questioned them in private. The judge then reread his instructions on reasonable doubt before sending them back to continue deliberating. Soon thereafter, he sent them home.
