Three Clancy jurors speak, and the holdout becomes the story
Three jurors from the Lindsay Clancy mistrial told NBC10 Boston that eleven were ready to acquit by reason of insanity. The lone holdout became the story.
- The interview: The foreperson said the holdout admitted reasonable doubt but would not sign an insanity verdict. Another juror moved from guilty so Clancy could get help.
- The pile-on: Rooms of one to three million views call the holdout a hero and the jurors activists, and say nurses on the jury acted as unvetted experts.
- The other reading: A smaller set says doubt without acquittal undermines the presumption of innocence, and that the DA should weigh all twelve finding doubt before a retrial.
