A juror in the trial of Lindsay Clancy is sharing new details about what he said happened inside the jury room that led to a mistrial in the case of the Massachusetts woman facing first-degree murder charges for the 2023 deaths of her three young children.
Nick Dargie, one of the three men on the 12-person jury, told ABC News’ Aaron Katersky that the lone holdout juror who prevented a unanimous verdict did not show any evidence explaining his vote.
“There was several times I would ask him to show us evidence or, you know, describe a witness testimony that helped to prove what he was saying, and … he couldn’t,” Dargie, 25, said in an interview Wednesday.
Good for him, you shouldn’t let a murderer off just because of peer pressure.
Seems to me that if that were the case he could have pointed to a particular piece of evidence or witness testimony that supports his conclusion.

Well, there was that whole trial. And everyone does agree she strangled her kids.
She admitted to the killings, yes. The problem was deciding her mental fitness to be held responsible criminally.
Lets not just ignore the legal nuance that makes this a complex situation. Otherwise we’ll just talk past each other the entire time.
But didn’t the other 11 jurors vote not guilty by reason of insanity?
I mean, wasn’t it either prison or high security mental health facility? I don’t think she gets off scott free either way.
I don’t get why people act like the dude was the sole hero blocking her from going free and getting starbucks on the way to her next infanticide.
FYI, it’s scot-free.
She has a chance of getting out of the mental health facility, thats what I believe most people are having an issue with. Personally I think she was and is insane but I don’t think anyone who murders children should ever walk free. It’s a hard spot to be in because she definitely needs the mental help and she wont get that in prison but the murders are unforgivable.
Its not on us to “forgive” her. I don’t know why people feel like they personally got victimized by her. From all accounts she was a loving mother, the people that actually knew and loved the kids are supporting her bc they are certain she must have been insane at the time.
She should have a chance of getting out when sane since there is no reason to keep someone when not a danger anymore. I don’t really get off on punishing people, i only tolerate it as long as it serves a purpose.
