Summary
Nick Dargie said the lone holdout in Lindsay Clancy’s trial wrapped an exercise band around an empty water bottle and pulled it tight during deliberations, leaving other jurors “shocked.”
After more than 38 hours, the 12-person jury deadlocked 11-1 for not guilty by lack of criminal responsibility; Dargie said the holdout would not engage, cited no supporting evidence and scrolled on his phone.
Defense lawyer Kevin Reddington on Thursday renewed a motion to acquit Clancy on all 3 charges, arguing prosecutors failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that she was not in psychosis when her children were killed in 2023.
Several jurors said some panelists initially leaned guilty before moving to the insanity verdict after reviewing the evidence, while prosecutors now must decide whether to retry the case ahead of a Sept. 29 hearing.
