What is a Tuey-Rodriguez charge? Judge gives instruction to deadlocked Lindsay Clancy jury

A Massachusetts judge overseeing the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy gave jurors a Tuey-Rodriguez charge Wednesday after they reported for a second time that they were unable to reach a unanimous verdict.

The instruction is given to a deadlocked jury to encourage continued deliberations while reminding jurors they should not abandon honestly held beliefs simply to reach a verdict.

Judge William Sullivan sent jurors back to deliberate Tuesday after they first indicated they were struggling to agree.
