PLYMOUTH, Mass. — A retired nurse charged with juror intimidation was only trying to get a photo of Lindsay Clancy when she allegedly captured members of the jury, according to her lawyer.

Dawn Light, 56, of Sutton, pleaded not guilty to aggravated intimidation of a juror at her arraignment Wednesday morning after being arrested the day before outside Plymouth County Superior Court.

According to the Commonwealth, Light had parked in a restricted area of the court parking lot where jurors were exiting after a day of deliberations.

State Police officers asked Light if she’d gotten pictures of the jurors, but she denied that she had, the prosecutor said, however, when troopers looked through her phone’s deleted images, they identified a video of jurors.

Light was “seeking a picture of Miss Clancy and had no intention of interaction with the jurors,” the defendant’s attorney said.

Prosecutors requested $50,000 cash bail and asked that Light stay away from the courthouse, its grounds, and jurors and witnesses in the Clancy case. She was also asked not to disseminate images stored on her accounts and to preserve any evidence.

Judge Shelby Smith did not set bail but did impose the restrictions, saying that Light did not have a criminal history.

Light’s attorney noted that her client was a nurse for 25 years before she retired and lives on a fixed income.

Meanwhile, jurors in the Clancy case continued their deliberations.

Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse, is on trial for allegedly murdering her children Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan eight months in January 2023. The Duxbury mom isn’t disputed that she killed the kids. Instead, her attorney Kevin Reddington put up an insanity defense, arguing that Clancy was suffering from postpartum psychosis.

Jurors, who were instructed on the standards of criminal responsibility, first- and second degree murder, and manslaughter, have been deliberating for about 24 hours.
