Woman Arrested for Juror Intimidation at Clancy Trial

Published 4 September 2026

A woman was arrested and charged with intimidating a juror outside the Plymouth District Court on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, during the ongoing triple murder trial of Lindsay Clancy. The arrest added a dramatic complication as the jury in the high-profile case struggled to reach a unanimous verdict. Dawn Light, 56, of Sutton, Massachusetts, was taken into custody by Massachusetts State Police around 3:40 p.m. She faces a charge of intimidation of a witness, juror, or person furnishing information in connection with criminal proceedings. The arrest occurred shortly after the jury in the Clancy case was dismissed for the day, having informed the judge that they remained deadlocked after four days of deliberations. According to prosecutors, court officers alerted state police to a person potentially filming jurors in a parking area behind the courthouse. Officers found Light in a blue Toyota parked in a restricted area. Prosecutors stated that when questioned, Light initially denied filming or photographing anyone, claiming she was waiting to see Lindsay Clancy leave the building.
