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.
