Lindsay Clancy's lawyer, Kevin Reddington, made a last ditch effort to avoid a mistrial as he dramatically requested an appeal. The lawyer stood moments before the judge intended to formally announce a mistrial, as the jurors were returning to the courtroom, to request time to take an appeal to the higher courts to bring the jury back for further deliberations. Judge William Sullivan granted him an hour to do so. 📷 Reuters #thecrimedesk #lindsayclancy #court #trial
