Four jurors were added Wednesday, but Lindsay Clancy's murder trial still ended the day one seat short after a juror chosen Monday withdrew, leaving 17 of 18 jurors in place.
About 51 of roughly 90 potential jurors flagged possible bias, conflicts or other issues during questioning, and the court ran out of candidates after lunch, forcing selection into a fourth day.
