Jurors continue to speak out in the days after a mistrial was declared for Massachusetts mom Lindsay Clancy in the strangling deaths of her three children, 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and 8-month-old Callan.
The panel of nine women and three men deadlocked after splitting 11-1, but one woman, identified as Juror No. 5, told local media that the holdout at the end of deliberations wasn’t the only one who initially thought Clancy was guilty.

“The stand-alone juror was not the only one that was unwilling to see things from the other side, so I’m going to kind of defend that individual in a sense,” she told the Boston-based WBZ-TV. “There were some big personalities in that room, but at the end of the day, it just came down to an inability to move past your convictions.”
She, too, was originally in favor of a guilty verdict, she told the outlet.

“And maybe I still believe that in a certain way,” she added. “I think that this is a woman who was not mentally healthy.”
The lone holdout has not yet come forward publicly as of Wednesday morning, and Judge William Sullivan impounded the jury list at the end of the high-profile trial amid privacy and safety concerns.

Three others, including the jury foreperson, sat down for a televised interview with NBC 10 Boston Tuesday, accusing the lone holdout juror of “admitting he had reasonable doubt” but refused to budge from insisting Clancy was criminally responsible for strangling Cora, Dawson and Callan.
They called him “arrogant” and accused him of disregarding information from “nurses on the jury.”
