Holdout Juror in Lindsay Clancy Trial Faced Domestic Violence Allegation, but Charge Dismissed, Records Show
The juror was one of 11 who favored a not criminally responsible finding, and the charge was later dismissed.
- The lone holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial was accused of domestic violence in September 2021, according to the Brockton, Massachusetts, Police Department.
- Court documents show the juror allegedly grabbed his wife by the throat and threw her into a dresser in 2021, and an active restraining order from his nephew remained in place during the trial.
- Jurors were split 11 to 1 in favor of finding Clancy not criminally responsible, but the holdout refused to agree. Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial after three deadlocks.
- CBS News Legal Analyst Caroline Polisi said the critical issue is whether the juror lied when filling out the questionnaire. "It's unlikely we will find out whether the juror made misrepresentations unless there is an official court-sanctioned inquiry," Polisi said.
- Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz must decide whether to retry Clancy on first-degree murder charges, with a hearing scheduled for September 29 at Plymouth Superior Court.
