Three people who served on the jury in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial are speaking publicly for the first time after last week’s mistrial, saying a lone holdout prevented the panel from reaching a unanimous verdict.
The jurors, including the foreperson, said one juror acknowledged having reasonable doubt but still refused to find Clancy not guilty by reason of insanity, according to interviews with NBC10 Boston.
The mistrial came after days of deliberations in the closely watched case against Clancy, the Massachusetts mother accused of killing her three young children in January 2023.
Clancy admitted to the killings but pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, arguing she was suffering from severe mental illness at the time. Prosecutors maintained she was criminally responsible for the deaths.

“He admitted he had reasonable doubt and I started filling out the forms, I was so excited,” the foreperson told NBC10 Boston.
But the foreperson said the juror then added, “But I’m still not going to say that she’s not guilty by reason of insanity.”
The foreperson also told the station she wrote the note to the judge raising concerns that one juror had expressed reasonable doubt but would not agree to a verdict. The three jurors said they became frustrated with the holdout during deliberations, claiming he refused to consider the views of the rest of the panel.
