Lindsay Clancy Juror Says Holdout Didn't Show 'Single Piece of Evidence' Explaining Vote
Jurors were nearly unanimous on insanity, but one holdout blocked a verdict in the six-week trial, leaving Clancy facing a possible retrial.
- On September 4, Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy after the jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict regarding the 2023 deaths of her three children in Duxbury, Massachusetts.
- Deliberations yielded an 11-1 split in favor of finding Clancy not guilty by reason of insanity, but the final juror refused to change his position, citing 'reasonable doubt' without providing supporting evidence.
- Juror Nick Dargie, 25, told ABC News that the holdout member offered no "evidence or witness testimony" to explain his dissent, with other jurors confirming the deadlock persisted because the individual could not substantiate his position.
- Scheduled for September 29, the next hearing will determine future proceedings; Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz has not yet announced whether prosecutors will retry the murder charges against Clancy.
- Throughout the trial, testimony centered on whether Clancy suffered from postpartum psychosis when she strangled her children, with the defense arguing she was over-medicated while prosecutors insisted she remained in control of her actions.
