Did Lindsay Clancy actually get a fair trial?
Her trial ended with a mistrial after seven days of deliberations, but what jurors are now saying raises some serious questions.
According to jurors who have spoken publicly, the jury was split 11–1 in favor of finding Clancy not guilty by reason of insanity. Even more controversial, the foreperson says the lone holdout acknowledged having reasonable doubt but still refused to change his position.
The defense tried to have the judge investigate or remove the holdout juror, arguing that he wasn't properly applying the reasonable-doubt standard. The judge declined, finding insufficient indication that the juror was refusing to follow the law.
So was this simply how the jury system is supposed to work, or did one juror prevent Lindsay Clancy from receiving the verdict the evidence supported?
We break down what happened inside the jury room, the 11–1 split, and why the question of whether Lindsay Clancy received a fair trial isn't going away.
