Judge William Sullivan said he was freezing his mistrial ruling in the trial of Lindsay Clancy for one hour to allow her lawyer to file an appeal with a higher court.
The frozen ruling gives Clancy's lawyer one hour to seek emergency intervention from a higher court, which could reinstate the trial or prevent her release depending on the appeal's outcome.
