Juror who blocked Lindsay Clancy verdict disputes fellow jurors' claims: report
Jurors say the holdout could not cite evidence as the defense seeks to block a retrial after the 11-1 deadlock.
- A mistrial was declared in the murder case involving Lindsay Clancy after the jury deadlocked 11-1. Judge William Sullivan oversaw the proceedings where the defendant admitted killing her three children in 2023, while the team argued she was not criminally responsible.
- To support the insanity plea, the defense argued the mother suffered from severe mental illness, while prosecutors maintained she planned the killings. This disagreement resulted in the split, with one person favoring conviction while others favored not guilty by reason of insanity.
- Michael P. Desronvil told NewsNation he never wavered, claiming he was repeatedly interrupted. "I kept getting cut off," Desronvil said, describing his attempts to explain his theories during deliberation.
- Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley noted the difficulty of a retrial, stating, "The question is whether they could ever get a jury," regarding the prospect of a unanimous verdict. Plymouth County officials must now decide whether to pursue a new trial.
- Scheduled to return to Plymouth Superior Court on Sept. 29, the defendant awaits the next legal steps. The judge has sealed juror identities and questionnaires, leaving public accounts from individual jurors as the only available insight into the deadlock.
