BREAKING: Judge William Sullivan said he intends to declare a mistrial, but no mistrial has officially been declared because the jury has not been brought into the courtroom or dismissed. Before that could happen, defense attorney Kevin Reddington requested time to appeal to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, seeking a stay so he can argue the holdout juror should be replaced before a mistrial is declared. @​Donnarotunno called the move unprecedented, saying an appeal could pause the case and leave the jury waiting while the higher court decides how to proceed. ▻
