11-1 Clancy Jury Split Deepens as 4 Jurors Describe Holdout After Mistrial

Summary
A fourth Lindsay Clancy juror said she initially favored a guilty verdict, adding the 11-1 deadlock was not simply one holdout versus 11 jurors before Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial.
Juror No. 5 told WBZ-TV some jurors started out believing Clancy was guilty but could not move past their convictions, while still saying Clancy was "not mentally healthy."
Three other jurors, including the foreperson, had already told NBC 10 Boston the lone holdout was "arrogant," admitted reasonable doubt and ignored input from nurses on the panel.
The weeklong deliberations ended Friday after Sullivan denied a defense request to remove the holdout; the case turned on whether Clancy was criminally responsible for killing her 3 children in 2023 or impaired by postpartum psychosis.
