Day 5 of Clancy trial jury deliberations: A spectator's arrest, plus talk of what a mistrial would mean

Before jurors began their fifth day of deliberations in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, they faced questions from the judge related to another criminal case. Judge William Sullivan questioned all 12 jurors and six alternates after a woman was arrested outside Plymouth Superior Court Tuesday and accused of filming the jurors. Prosecutors accused Dawn Light, 56, of Sutton, of parking in a restricted area of the courthouse and taking photos of the jury members. They charged her with witness intimidation, and asked that she be held on $50,000 bail and ordered to stay away from the courthouse. "The sanctity of the judicial system is at risk because of her actions. It's a serious matter for the commonwealth," said Plymouth County assistant district attorney Nicole Piacentini during Light's arraignment Wednesday.
