Judge Sullivan Indefinitely Seals 11 Jurors' Names in Lindsay Clancy Case After Mistrial

Summary
Judge William Sullivan on Monday impounded the names of all 11 jurors in the Lindsay Clancy trial indefinitely, saying public release poses a “real and present” risk of harm.
Unauthorized identifications and circulation of jurors’ personal information drove the order, along with what Sullivan called the “significant and divisive attention” surrounding the case.
The move follows a Sept. 4 mistrial after the panel split 11-1 in Clancy’s murder trial over the 2023 deaths of her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months.
One juror, Paula Devlin, has since spoken publicly, saying the prosecution’s case had “holes” and rejecting claims of bias, while most jurors and alternates have stayed anonymous.
Clancy, 36, returns to court on Sept. 29 for a status hearing, and prosecutors have not yet decided whether to retry the case.
