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.
That’s not what jury nullification is.
You’re right. I didn’t realize all 12 jurors need to agree to acquit a guilty person for it to count as jury nullification. I thought it means more generally “I don’t care what the law says, I will vote not guilty anyway”.
The lone juror was the guilty vote, and the “innocent” verdict in this case is “meaning she will go to the prison with grippy socks instead” which also isn’t nullification so you just didn’t know anything at all.
Good thing you know so much and can explain it in a condescending tone on the internet. Must feel great.
