A woman has been charged with intimidating a juror in the high-profile Lindsay Clancy trial. The trial, which began on May 1st and is examining whether Clancy murdered her three children, has garnered significant media attention due to its sensational nature.

The Incident Occurred Outside the Courthouse

On Tuesday, Dawn Light, a 56-year-old registered nurse, was spotted sitting in a restricted area outside the Plymouth courthouse. She had been taking photos of jurors as they exited the building, despite the court's order prohibiting photography or filming of jurors.

Light's lawyer claimed that she was simply trying to get a picture of Clancy and argued that it was a misunderstanding. However, prosecutors alleged that Light had been taking videos of jurors and had deleted them from her phone after being questioned

The court also ordered Light to stay away from the courthouse grounds, avoid those associated with the Clancy trial, and not produce or disseminate photos that could have been preserved on iCloud.

Impact on the Trial

The incident has raised concerns about the sanctity of the judicial system. Massachusetts lawyers argued that Light's actions put a strain on the court's ability to conduct a fair trial.
