How Lindsay Clancy’s Jury Fell Apart Over One Vote
About this episode
The episode discusses the breakdown of the jury in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial and the implications of a mistrial.
The jury in Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial held together for seven days. They sent notes. They asked questions. The judge sent them back three times. And when they finally told Judge William Sullivan they could not reach a unanimous verdict, the count was eleven to one. Reddington said the eleven wanted to acquit and accused the holdout of bias against people with mental illness. He filed an emergency appeal to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. The court rejected it. Sullivan declared the mistrial. Clancy had pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months. The defense argued postpartum psychosis. Prosecutors alleged deliberate action. Several female jurors broke down when the mistrial was announced. DA Timothy Cruz said he would decide on a retrial shortly. Patrick Clancy’s lawyer called the prospect of a second trial extraordinarily painful. Bob Motta of Defense Diaries breaks down the holdout juror’s impact, the retrial calculus for Cruz, and the emotional cost of asking families to do this again.
