 Jury in Lindsay Clancy trial says it cannot reach unanimous verdict in children’s killings  Jurors in the Lindsay Clancy trial told the judge Tuesday that they had been unable to reach a unanimous decision on whether the Massachusetts mother should be held criminally responsible for killing her three young children in 2023. The announcement came near the beginning of the jury’s fourth day of deliberations and marked the first indication that the panel had reached an impasse. Judge William Sullivan instructed the jurors to continue deliberating after they reported they could not agree. Clancy remained seated and looked toward the jury as Sullivan addressed the panel. The judge noted the length and complexity of the trial, which included more than 80 witnesses and more than 300 exhibits. The jury had previously asked to review a knife Clancy used to injure herself and bags containing empty prescription medication bottles found at her home. Clancy, a former labor and delivery nu...

 Uber found liable, ordered to pay $8.5 million in driver sexual assault case

Uber has been ordered to pay $8.5 million to a plaintiff in Arizona, marking the first trial among thousands of lawsuits alleging sexual assault and misconduct by drivers on the ridesharing platform.

The case involves Jaylynn Dean, who said she was raped by her Uber driver in November 2023 while returning to her hotel. A U.S. District Court jury in Phoenix found Uber liable under apparent agency, though it did not hold the company responsible for negligence or design defects, nor did it award punitive damages. The verdict sets a precedent for roughly 3,000 similar cases consolidated in federal court across the country.

A spokesperson for Uber said the company “acted responsibly and has invested meaningfully in rider safety” and plans to appeal the decision. Dean’s attorney called the verdict a “victory” that highlights the risks survivors have taken to hold Uber accountable for prioritizing profit over passenger safety.

Uber classifies its drivers as independent contractors and has consistently argued it should not be held responsible for their misconduct. The company reported implementing new safety measures, including an in-app emergency button, pin verification, and a pilot program allowing women riders and drivers to opt out of being paired with male drivers.

Reports have shown that Uber received over 400,000 sexual assault and misconduct claims between 2017 and 2022, far more than previously disclosed. In its most recent report, the company said serious sexual assaults on the platform had dropped by 44%. Competitor Lyft has faced similar lawsuits over sexual assault and harassment incidents involving its drivers.
