The Lindsay Clancy murder trial ended without a verdict, and much of the public conversation has shifted from Clancy herself to one juror who refused to join the other 11. The jury deadlocked 11-1 after seven days of deliberations. According to foreperson Roni Carlson, the holdout juror acknowledged having reasonable doubt about Clancy but still refused to find her not guilty by reason of insanity. The deadlock prompted Judge William Sullivan to declare a mistrial.
That decision has made the juror a target of criticism. Carlson and two other jurors discussed the deliberations in an interview with NBC10 Boston. Carlson said the holdout admitted he had reasonable doubt but still would not agree to an insanity acquittal.
