Fresno Visalia, CA, October 22, 2026 —
A judge denied a request by Lindsay Clancy’s attorneys to question a holdout juror after a seven-week murder trial ended in a mistrial, according to the available account of the case.
The jury did not reach a unanimous verdict. It was split 11-1 in favor of finding Clancy not guilty by reason of insanity. The holdout juror was reportedly the reason the jury could not reach agreement, but the juror’s identity and the basis for that account were not provided.
The judge’s decision means Clancy’s attorneys were not permitted to question the juror in response to their request. The information provided does not state why the attorneys sought to question the juror or explain the judge’s reasoning for denying the request.
The trial took place in what the summary describes as the Fresno-Visalia setting. No dates for the trial or the ruling were provided. The account also does not identify the judge, the attorneys, or the court where the request was considered.
The mistrial followed the jury’s failure to reach a unanimous verdict; the available information does not report a verdict finding Clancy guilty or not guilty. It also does not specify what further court proceedings, if any, are planned. The case’s next steps and any response from the attorneys or juror were not included in the information provided.
