Gayle King Stunned to Learn Sole Lindsay Clancy Jury Holdout Was the Only Black Juror
The CBS Mornings host drew criticism after reacting on air to the juror’s race, as the Clancy panel remained deadlocked 11-1.
- CBS Mornings host Gayle King faced backlash on Friday after expressing visible surprise during an interview with juror Paula Devlin upon learning the lone holdout in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial was a Black man.
- The trial ended in a mistrial after the jury deadlocked 11 to one, with 10 jurors believing Clancy could not be held criminally responsible for killing her three children due to postpartum psychosis.
- Devlin, one of 12 jurors, revealed all others were White except for the holdout. Critics on social media subsequently accused King of prejudice, noting her reaction to the juror's identity.
- King later said it was "Fascinating" regarding the holdout. Meghan McCain and others criticized the host's reaction, with Lisa Elizabeth writing that King's "brain immediately short-circuited" upon discovering the juror's race.
- Commentators like Hans Mahncke linked the discourse to themes discussed during Clarence Thomas's confirmation hearings 35 years ago; others, including Nick Searcy, celebrated the juror's decision to hold out.

Lone Holdout Juror on Clancy Trial Was the Only Black Person on the Jury
Lindsay Clancy juror Paula Devlin revealed that the only juror who had common sense and morals was a Black man.
