                      <![CDATA[ <p>In the years since Sept. 11, 2001, 100 million people have been born &mdash; nearly a third of the American population.&nbsp;</p><p>As we approach 25 years since the tragic attack, one nonprofit is keeping the lessons learned and memories of the lives lost alive.&nbsp;</p><p>Louis Nacke II, or Joey as his loved ones called him, was the golden thread tying his family together, but two days after his birthday, Sept. 11, 2001, he took a trip he would never come back from on United Flight 93.&nbsp;</p><p>"Joey was a very outgoing fellow," said Patrick White, Joey's cousin. "His birthday is Sept. 9; it was a last-minute business trip."&nbsp;</p><p>He flew from San Francisco, working as a distribution manager for K-B Toys, and was off to fix a problem himself, regardless of his first wedding anniversary, birthday, and closing on a new home in Pennsylvania.&nbsp;</p><p>What began as just another day became a real-life nightmare for White.&nbsp;</p><p>"We don't have those birthdays, we don't have those anniversaries with him," he said. "We don't have the holidays and vacations anymore."&nbsp;</p><p>In the 25 years since the fateful day that Joey and others stormed the cockpit and kept the plane from reaching the Capitol, his memory remains.&nbsp;</p><p>"I was just so moved that he did the kind of things that are the values we were taught as kids," White said.&nbsp;</p><p>Taught to see something and do something. The plane went down at 560 miles per hour, but what Joey and the 40 heroes on board did was nothing short of remarkable.&nbsp;</p><p>"So remarkable, and the fact that there is not only a national memorial, but there's also the National Memorial Trail, the 9/11 trail," White said.&nbsp;</p><p>It's important because the 9/11 Memorial Trail Alliance nonprofit is making sure the trail connects all three of the 9-11 sites physically.&nbsp;</p><p>"Having something that is a living memorial that people can use every day and remember the heroes of Sept. 11, I think, is very important," said Jeffrey McCauley, president of the September 11 National Memorial Trail Alliance.&nbsp;</p><p>It's also an emotional connection for the community and those who walk, run, hike, or bike the trail.&nbsp;</p><p>"I'm hopeful that the trail, in its own way, can play a part in the history of keeping the memories of that day&nbsp;alive," McCauley said.&nbsp;</p><p>Keeping it alive means installing 2,300 way-finding signs around Pennsylvania by Sept. 11 this year. For White, he does his part by routinely mowing the area around the Flight 93 memorial and the trail.&nbsp;</p><p>"It's the time when I feel close," White said. "I feel like I'm able to connect with him in a way where it's still like I'm a big brother, I guess."&nbsp;</p><p>It's a space for feelings of closeness to Joey, and a time to remember the 40 heroes, their legacies of resilience, and living like the name of the flight - United.&nbsp;</p><p>"What it's allowed me to do, and is happening even more so on this 25th remembrance, is to actually feel what others feel, help heal, and carry that grief with grace," White said.&nbsp;</p><p>White also said that he's going to try to bike at least part of the trail with Joey's brother Kenny soon.&nbsp;</p><p>Meanwhile, the trail will cover a little over 1,500 miles in six states and Washington, D.C.</p><p>If you want to learn more about their efforts or donate, you can do so <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/essentials/n95-like-masks-for-kids/">here</a>.&nbsp;</p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>A fight involving a Dunbar, Fayette County, council member broke out at a memorial event for 9-year-old <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/missing-endangered-9-year-old-girl-fayette-county/" target="_blank" data-absolute="true">Renesmay Eutsey</a>, the girl who was found dead a year ago in the Youghiogheny River.</p><p>Council member Lynn Hall, unhappy, had approached the speakers, the organizers of the event; she said they had incorrectly claimed that some council members had voted against renaming the park for Renesmay.</p><p>As she and the organizers argued, another woman, whom KDKA-TV hasn't been able to identify, approached. She and Hall then traded punches until the borough's police chief broke it up.&nbsp;</p><p>Hall said she was left with a bloody finger, broken glasses and scratches on her neck. It's unclear what injuries, if any, the other woman who was primarily fighting with Hall sustained.&nbsp;</p><p>"They kept saying I need to move back, and of course, I said, 'Move me,'" Hall told KDKA-TV. "For that false information to get out to so many people reflects badly on the borough and it's not true; it's not something that should have been said here."</p><p>Borough Mayor Norman Gordon said council had unanimously voted to rename the park last week. He did acknowledge that previously, council members had not all been enthusiastic about the name change.&nbsp;</p><p>"The council is not helpful at all," said organizer Ebony Floyd. "They voted to not rename it."</p><p>She and other organizers said they are not borough residents and did not attend the council meetings, explaining they learned about how the council voted through other means.</p><p>They took issue with how Hall interrupted their speeches, rather than discussing it after.</p><p>"I put all my heart and soul into things like this, and for one bad apple to do that and not have the courtesy to speak about it after is just real vile," said Floyd.</p><p>For both her and organizer Jessica Richter, who, during her speech, had mentioned that not all voted to rename the park, the fight was the last thing they hoped for during the event.</p><p>"If you want to have a discussion, a conversation afterwards, why something like that was brought up, then do it afterwards. Don't do it during an event where you're trying to honor a little girl whose life has been cut short," Richter said.</p><p>The fight highlights the divisiveness in the small borough over Renesmay's death. It's divisiveness neither the organizers, Hall, nor Mayor Gordon can easily explain.&nbsp;</p><p>"This is almost like Washington, D.C. here right now," Mayor Gordon said. "There's people who just don't like what's going on, and they run their mouth, and it gets back, and they get mad, and one person gets mad, and next thing you know, nobody's talking, and we're fighting."</p><p>When we asked for more specifics, he said it's hard for him to say because he's in the middle of it.&nbsp;</p><p>"Our community is divided, and it breaks my heart to see it that way, and I would love to see everyone come together," Gordon said.&nbsp;</p><p>The borough's police chief said minor charges stemming from the fight can be expected. The fight followed the official renaming of the park for Renesmay, including the unveiling of a memorial stone.&nbsp;</p><p>Eutsey's caregivers have since been <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/more-charges-renesmay-eutsey-death/" target="_blank" data-absolute="true">charged in her death</a>. They are awaiting trial.</p><p>"It feels like time for her is standing still until we get a death penalty verdict," Floyd said.&nbsp;</p><p>Gordon told the crowd he knows many have wondered why someone didn't do something to prevent her death.</p><p>"I'm somebody, you are all somebody, and we all have the responsibility to protect these children," Gordon said.&nbsp;</p><p>District Attorney Mike Aubele also spoke at the event and was visibly emotional. He explained how Eutsey was failed by her family members.&nbsp;</p><p>"I think about this girl every single day," Aubele told the crowd. "Three hundred sixty-six days ago, I had the worst day of my life. One of the worst things that has happened in the county this century, if not the worst."</p><p>He promised that Renesmay would not just fade away.&nbsp;</p><p>"I think it's a wonderful thing that we're all here, a year and a day after she died. And we all still remember her," Aubele said. "And we're never going to forget her."</p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>Yusei Kikuchi pitched six scoreless innings and earned his first win of the season as the Los Angeles Angels beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-1 on Saturday night.</p><p>Kikuchi (1-5) allowed five hits and three walks while striking out six in his third start since returning Aug. 23 from left shoulder inflammation that kept him out since late April. The 35-year-old two-time All-Star last won in his final start last season, giving up one run in five innings as the Angels topped the Royals 3-2 on Sept. 24, 2025.</p><p>Pirates starter Braxton Ashcraft (14-6) struck out nine, but allowed three runs on seven hits in five innings. The 26-year-old right-hander struck out seven while allowing one hit through 3 1/3 innings before Wade Meckler doubled into shallow left field with one out in the fourth. Mois&eacute;s Ballesteros hit a sharp two-out single under the glove of second baseman Nick Gonzales, scoring Meckler from second.</p><p>Josh Lowe led off the fifth with a 410-foot shot to center field for his 11th homer of the season. Denzer Guzman followed with a single to left, moved to second on Adam Frazier's sacrifice bunt and extended the lead to 3-0 by scoring on the first of Zach Neto's three singles.</p><p>Esmerlyn Valdez walked and Bryan Reynolds singled to start the sixth for Pittsburgh. Kikuchi then struck out Oneil Cruz, forced Nick Gonzales into a force out and erased the threat by getting Rafael Flores Jr. to fly out to center.</p><p>The Angels tacked on three runs in the seventh. Mike Trout hit an RBI single through the left side of the infield and Meckler drove in two more with a double to right-center. </p><p>Reynolds hit a two-out home run, his 16th of the season and first since July 28. It was a 421-foot shot over the right-field wall in the eighth for the Pirates' lone run.</p><p>Pirates RHP Paul Skenes (9-11, 3.97 ERA) starts Sunday's series finale against Angels RHP Walbert Ure&ntilde;a (9-9, 2.85 ERA).</p>

God forbid, right now, if an ambulance was to come or something like that, they wouldn't have any access to using the front sidewalk or the front porch," homeowner John Visk said.</p><p>The Visks remain without power as of Saturday and say they have contacted Penn Hills officials. They also say that no one was hurt as a result of the tree falling.</p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>Rocco Becht threw for 271 yards with four touchdowns and No. 18 Penn State beat Marshall 45-0 to begin the Matt Campbell era on Saturday.</p><p>Becht, a transfer who followed Campbell from Iowa State to Happy Valley, was in command in his Beaver Stadium debut and secured his FBS-leading 27th win as a starter.</p><p>He had plenty of help from familiar teammates who also left the Cyclones, and a host of new ones who stuck around after former coach James Franklin was fired midway through last season.</p><p>Koby Howard, one of those holdovers who was used sparingly by the previous staff, had six catches for 161 yards with a touchdown. Brett Eskildsen, Benjamin Brahmer and Zay Robinson caught touchdown passes, and new defensive coordinator D'Anton Lynn's defense held Marshall to just 147 yards.</p><p>The Thundering Herd (0-1) crossed midfield just three times, one thanks to a facemask penalty against Penn State.</p><p>Meanwhile, Becht's first victory in blue and white was full of highlights.</p><p>After the Nittany Lions (1-0) took the lead with a 38-yard field goal from Ryan Barker on their opening possession, Becht settled in, showing no ill effects from offseason surgery to repair a torn labrum in his non-throwing shoulder.</p><p>Becht took his time in the pocket and found Howard cutting over the middle for a 42-yard touchdown pass, then steered into Marshall territory again before tossing a short screen pass to Eskildsen, who burst through two strong blocks to make it 17-0.</p><p>Brahmer hauled in an 8-yard throw that made it 24-0. Becht went downfield again on his next series, this time to Robinson, who outran Marshall defenders for a 39-yard score.</p><p>Quinton Martin Jr. and Cam Wallace added rushing touchdowns for Penn State.</p><p>Carlos Del R&iacute;o-Wilson completed 17 of 25 passes for 102 yards for Marshall.</p><h2>The takeaway</h2><p>Marshall: The Thundering Herd, picked by Sun Belt coaches to finish third in the conference's East Division, tackled well and played a mostly clean game. They just couldn't keep up with Penn State's speed on the outside.</p><p>Penn State: The Nittany Lions entered as more than three-touchdown favorites and looked even better despite all the newness. They committed just four penalties with zero turnovers.</p><h2>Up next</h2><p>Marshall: Hosts Middle Tennessee State on Saturday.</p><p>Penn State: Visits Temple on Saturday.</p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>A Churchill woman is facing more than two dozen criminal charges after authorities say she used access to her husband's personal and business bank accounts to write checks to herself.</p><p>Ngoc Phuongthi Le, 54, is charged with theft by unlawful taking, receiving stolen property, access device fraud and 24 counts of issuing bad checks, according to the Allegheny County District Attorney's Office.</p><p>According to the criminal complaint, Le allegedly wrote checks from her husband's accounts despite insufficient funds to cover them. She then deposited the checks into her personal First Commonwealth Bank account and immediately transferred the money before the transactions could be flagged for insufficient funds, investigators said.</p><p>Investigators traced money from Le's First Commonwealth account through wire transfers and Zelle deposits, according to the complaint.</p><p>Between Dec. 22, 2025, and Jan. 5, 2026, Le allegedly issued 24 bad checks totaling $82,710 in attempted stolen funds. The transactions resulted in an estimated loss of $56,072.23 to First Commonwealth Bank, authorities said.</p><p>"This is something that unfortunately occurs far too often in our county," Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen Zappala said. "To effectively charge these crimes, we have to first understand the scam. Individuals and businesses should be vigilant and report suspicious transactions as soon as possible."</p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>Sophomore Mason Heintschel threw seven touchdown passes, tying the school record, and Pittsburgh rolled to a 59-14 win against Miami (Ohio) on Saturday.</p><p>Heintschel, a true sophomore, equaled the school record set by Pete Gonzalez against Rutgers on Oct. 25, 1997.</p><p>Heintschel, who won the job midway through the season last year, completed 31 of 41 passes for 453 yards. His seven touchdowns went to seven different receivers during his first season-opening start.</p><p>Pitt scored on its first three possessions and outgained Miami 219-15 in the first quarter, as the RedHawks failed to pick up a first down on three possessions. The Panthers converted all four third downs during their first three possessions en route to an early 21-0 lead.</p><p>Heintschel threw first-quarter touchdowns to Malik Knight and Ja'Kyrian Turner, while Justin Cook scored on a 50-yard run and Elijah Lagg had a second-quarter score. Heintschel threw touchdowns on Pitt's first three second-half drives, connecting with Blue Hicks, Censere Lee and Bryce Yates, before the record-tying score to Damon Ferguson Jr. in the fourth.</p><p>Antonio Chadha's 58-yard field goal tied the school record as Pitt closed the first half with a 31-14 lead. The kick equaled the mark set by Ben Sauls and Alex Kessman.</p><p>Redshirt freshman David McComb threw a 75-yard touchdown pass and junior Damarion Witten rushed for a score for Miami.</p><h2>Heintschel's evolution</h2><p>Last season, Heintschel threw for more than 300 yards in five of his first six starts before struggling in the final month during blowout losses against Notre Dame and Miami.</p><p>Heintschel appeared patient and confident while rotating through his reads during Pitt's season opener. He eluded a sack on third-and-11 and completed a 31-yard pass to Lee, which set up Knight's touchdown two plays later.</p><p>On Pitt's second drive, Heintschel broke free from two sacks and completed a short pass to Knight for a first down. Two plays later, Cook broke free for a touchdown.</p><p>He found a wide-open Turner on a swing pass from the backfield for a 45-yard score and connected with Hicks, Lee, Yates and Ferguson Jr. for long touchdowns in the second half.</p><h2>Panther targets</h2><p>Pitt faced a shortage of wide receivers after losing Kenny Johnson and Poppi Williams, but Hicks, Lee and Knight helped fill the void.</p><p>Hicks, who caught five passes for 114 yards, returns after averaging 17.4 yards per catch last season. Knight and Lee, both transfers from Western Carolina, combined to catch 10 passes for 139 yards and two scores.</p><h2>The takeaway</h2><p>Miami: The RedHawks, who have appeared in the Mid-American Conference championship game the last three seasons, look to regroup during their home opener on Saturday against Holy Cross.</p><p>Pitt: The Panthers had an outside shot to reach the College Football Playoff and ACC title game last season before losses to Miami and Notre Dame. Pitt plays four of its next five games at Acrisure Stadium in a wide-open race for the ACC.</p><h2>Up next</h2><p>Pitt hosts UCF on Saturday.</p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>Cam Cook rushed for 142 yards and two short touchdowns, Michael Hawkins Jr. threw for one score and passed for another TD, and West Virginia held on for a 31-24 win over Coastal Carolina in the teams' season opener Saturday.</p><p>On a day in which West Virginia retired the No. 5 jersey of record-setting quarterback Pat White, the Mountaineers dominated the game early but looked disheveled on both sides of the ball for much of the second half. </p><p>Coastal Carolina's Nico Cavanillas Alti kicked a 32-yard field goal with 27 seconds left to cap the Chanticleers' rally from a 24-0 deficit. But the ensuing onside kick went out of bounds and West Virginia survived.</p><p>With 88 new players on the roster, it's going to take some time for West Virginia to work the kinks out, especially on defense.</p><p>At least they're set with two marquee positions on offense.</p><p>Cook ran 72 yards up the left sideline on the first play from scrimmage to set up his 3-yard TD run. The transfer from Jacksonville State, who led the nation with 1,659 rushing yards last season, went over 100 yards early in the second quarter.</p><p>Hawkins, a transfer from Oklahoma, had a stellar debut on the ground with 103 yards on 20 carries. </p><p>Hawkins led scoring drives on three of West Virginia's first four possessions. West Virginia had 336 total yards in the first half and raced to a 24-0 lead. But the Mountaineers punted on their first four possessions of the second half and were limited to 77 yards after halftime.</p><p>Hawkins had an 11-yard TD run late in the game after a Coastal Carolina punt went out of bounds at its 35-yard line. Hawkins also threw a 49-yard scoring toss in the first quarter to Armoni Weaver-Bomar. </p><p>Hawkins' only hiccup came when he fumbled while reaching for the pylon and the ball went through the end zone for a touchback early in the second quarter. Hawkins finished 11-of-14 passing for 132 yards.</p><p>West Virginia's defense surrendered just five first downs in the first half, then looked porous after halftime. Redshirt freshman quarterback Deuce Bailey threw three touchdown passes for Coastal Carolina, which outgained West Virginia 425-413. </p><h2>The Takeaway</h2><p>Coastal Carolina: Bailey, a redshirt freshman who followed new coach Ryan Beard to the Chanticleers from Missouri State, had second-half TD tosses of 37 and 34 yards to Clayton Coppock and 13 yards to Colton Hinton. Bailey completed 21 of 37 passes for 373 yards. </p><p>West Virginia: Cook and Hawkins looked as good as advertised, but the team's struggles in the second half will need fixing.</p><h2>Up next</h2><p>Coastal Carolina hosts Fordham of the Championship Subdivision on Saturday.</p><p>West Virginia hosts FCS member UT Martin on Saturday.</p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>Jared Jones pitched six strong innings, Jake Mangum had an RBI double in the second inning and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the skidding Los Angeles Angels 1-0 on Friday night.</p><p>The MLB-worst Angels (53-88) lost for the 10th time in 11 games. The Pirates have won five of six games.</p><p>Jones (3-6) blanked the Angels on three hits to win for the first time in eight starts since beating Cleveland on July 18. He struck out nine, walked one, and threw 63 of 91 pitches for strikes.</p><p>Wilber Dotel pitched two innings, and Mason Montgomery worked the ninth to complete the four-hitter and the Pirates' ninth shutout of the season. Montgomery had his ninth save.</p><p>Ryan Johnson (3-8) was the hard-luck loser, giving up one run and four hits over six innings with six strikeouts and two walks. He has a 1.67 ERA in his last six starts and allowed zero or one run in five of those outings.</p><p>Prized rookie shortstop Konnor Griffin returned from the injured list for the Pirates and made an immediate impact when he scored the lone run from first base on Mangum's one-out double to right field in the second inning.</p><p>Griffin had been sidelined since July 6 after undergoing surgery to repair a torn tendon in his left ring finger. The Pirates signed the 20-year-old to a nine-year, $140-million contract, the richest in franchise history, in April.</p><p>The Angels hit back-to-back singles to open the top of the second, but Jones got Christian Moore to foul out, then struck out Jose Siri and Adam Frazier. The Halos have been shut out 12 times.</p><p>Angels LHP Yusei Kikuchi (0-5, 5.65 ERA) faces RHP Braxton Ashcraft (14-5, 3.59) on Saturday night in the middle game of the series.</p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>The Lindsay Clancy murder trial ended in a mistrial Friday afternoon, after jurors announced for a third time that they were unable to reach a unanimous verdict. It capped a day in court filled with turmoil and arguments over one juror's behavior during deliberations.</p><p><strong>Follow:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/live-updates/lindsay-clancy-murder-trial-hung-jury-mistrial-watch-live-updates/">Live updates from court</a></p><p>"It is with a heavy heart that we report we are unable to come to a unanimous decision," the jury's note to the judge read.</p><p>The 12 jurors deliberated for more than 36 hours over the course of seven days, after hearing 85 witnesses testify during the trial. Twice before, they reported to the judge that they were deadlocked and he told them to return to deliberations, but ultimately there was no agreement.</p><h2>Last-minute verdict delay</h2><p><span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/live-updates/lindsay-clancy-murder-trial-hung-jury-mistrial-verdict-watch-live-updates/">The official end to the trial</a></span> came hours after Plymouth Superior Court Judge William Sullivan first told attorneys he was declaring a mistrial. Moments before jurors entered the courtroom, defense attorney Kevin Reddington requested an emergency delay so that he could file an appeal with the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. </p><p>A mistrial is not official until announced in the presence of jurors.</p><p>"I'm asking for time to file a single justice appeal of this travesty," Reddington said.</p><p>Sullivan gave him one hour to contact a justice. An SJC hearing was scheduled for 1:30 p.m.</p><p>During that hearing, which happened over video conference, defense attorney Dana Goldblatt argued that jurors should be further questioned about the behavior of a single juror during deliberations. It's a motion that was denied by the trial judge earlier Friday. According to a note from the jury foreperson, that one juror was not following the law regarding reasonable doubt.</p><p>Justice Dalila Argaez Wendlandt took the matter under advisement. A short time later, she issued her decision not to intervene in the proceedings.</p><p>At 2:22 p.m., Judge Sullivan called the jury back and officially declared a mistrial.</p><figure class="embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-feed_phone_image" data-ads='{"extraWordCount":50}'><span class="img embed__content "><img src="https://assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2026/09/04/8d9191d3-1af7-47d1-bbf2-4d29adf01e9b/thumbnail/620x349/578ed03f95394053eb932fa70abf596e/clancy3.jpg#" alt="Lindsay Clancy Trial " height="349" width="620" class=" lazyload" srcset="https://assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2026/09/04/8d9191d3-1af7-47d1-bbf2-4d29adf01e9b/thumbnail/620x349/578ed03f95394053eb932fa70abf596e/clancy3.jpg 1x, https://assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2026/09/04/8d9191d3-1af7-47d1-bbf2-4d29adf01e9b/thumbnail/1240x698/6adac097f04b6a0021c73abed6badccf/clancy3.jpg 2x" loading="lazy"></span><figcaption class="embed__caption-container"><span class="embed__caption">Lindsay Clancy watches jurors enter the courtroom during her murder trial on Friday, Sept. 4, 2026, in Plymouth, Mass.</span><span class="embed__credit">

However, her attorneys argued that she was not criminally responsible because she was overmedicated and suffering from&nbsp;<span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/lindsay-clancy-trial-postpartum-psychosis/">postpartum psychosis.</a></span>&nbsp;Prosecutors said Clancy planned to strangle her children and knew right from wrong.  </p><h2>Deadlocked jury and single holdout</h2><p>At the end of the day Thursday, it <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/lindsay-clancy-murder-trial-updates-mistrial-hung-jury-deliberations/" target="_blank">appeared the jury was split</a></span> 11 to 1. The jury foreperson sent a note to Sullivan claiming that a single juror was not following the court's orders about reasonable doubt.</p><p>According to Reddington, the foreperson wrote that the juror "has made statements acknowledging doubt but refuses to apply it to the verdict as the law states."</p><p>Sullivan denied a motion by Reddington to dismiss that juror and a second request on Friday to further question jurors on the matter. Instead, the judge repeated his instructions to the jury on the meaning of reasonable doubt. "You are required to follow my instructions on the law as I gave them to you," Sullivan said in part Thursday. </p><p>Jurors returned to deliberations at about 9:30 a.m. Friday, before again announcing they were deadlocked around 11 a.m.</p><p>To reach a verdict, the jury had to unanimously agree on one of five options: not guilty by reason of insanity, not guilty, first-degree murder, second-degree murder or manslaughter. &nbsp;</p><p>With a mistrial, Clancy will return to Tewksbury Hospital, a psychiatric facility where she's been held for the last three years, to await the next steps in the case.</p><h2>Friday morning arguments over Clancy juror</h2><p>At the start of Friday, Sullivan held a hearing, without the jury present, to determine if the panel should be further questioned about the holdout juror. That was based on a request from Clancy's attorney. The hearing was short, but tense.</p><p>"I would go so far as to say he lied under oath," Reddington said, inadvertently indicating the juror was a man. </p><p>Sullivan rejected the request.</p><p>"I'm not going to do a further inquiry of this juror," the judge said. "It's their duty to accept the law as I've given it to them."</p><p>This is the decision that led Reddington to appeal to the SJC.</p><p><strong>Mental health help</strong></p><p><em>If you or someone you know is in emotional distress or a suicidal crisis, you can reach the&nbsp;</em><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/essentials/n95-like-masks-for-kids/"><em>988 Suicide &amp; Crisis Lifeline</em></a><em>&nbsp;by calling or texting 988.
