Trump Lawyer Represents 1 Holdout Juror in Lindsay Clancy Trial as Threats Mount

3 articles · Updated · Boston Herald · Sep 18

Summary

  • Edward Andrew Paltzik said he now represents the lone juror who held out for a guilty verdict in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, saying the man is in a secure undisclosed location in northern New England.
  • Threats against at least one juror prompted Judge William Sullivan to indefinitely impound the jury list after the Sept. 4 mistrial, which followed about 38 hours of deadlocked deliberations split 11-1.
  • The juror, speaking through a statement earlier Thursday, rejected claims he failed to engage and said the physical evidence and witnesses convinced him Clancy planned the killings and knew what she was doing.
  • Paltzik, who has represented Donald Trump in several high-profile disputes, said neither he nor the juror will give interviews for now as national political figures including Ron DeSantis weigh in on the backlash.
