Lindsay Clancy Juror Says Holdout Didn’t Have a ‘Single Piece of Evidence’ to Defend His Vote Against Not Guilty

Another juror in Lindsay Clancy’s trial has spoken out about his interaction with the holdout juror that led a Massachusetts judge to declare a mistrial.

The jury included three men and nine women. One of the men, Nick Dargie, told ABC News that he never learned why the holdout juror had a different opinion about the case.

“There were several times I would ask him to show us, like, evidence or, you know, describe a witness testimony that helped to prove what he was saying, and he couldn’t,” Dargie, 25, said in an interview broadcast on Wednesday, Sept. 9. “There wasn’t a single piece of evidence or witness testimony that he used to prove why he was thinking the way he was, which is why we ultimately sent in that note.”

“Otherwise, there’s nothing wrong with somebody having a completely opposite opinion,” he continued. “That would be a hung jury. That is our justice system.”

Dargie’s interview with ABC News comes after three female jurors spoke out about their interaction with the holdout juror in an interview with NBC10 Boston.

“He admitted he had reasonable doubt, and I started filling out the forms,” one of the women, who served as the foreperson, told NBC10. “I was so excited. There were three forms I had to fill out and I started filling them out. I wrote my signature on each one and then he said, ‘But I’m still not going say that she’s not guilty by reason of insanity.’ ”

Another juror told to the outlet that the holdout juror would not interact with the other jurors.

The holdout juror allegedly had “the hardest time getting off the fact that Lindsay viciously killed her children.” Another juror also referred to him as “very arrogant.”

 

“He really did not take anything that anybody said,” she said. “He tried to ask a question about the medications, and we went back to the report … We had the toxicology report. We could see exactly the amounts. The nurses [testifying during the trial] spoke to that. That was a question that he had. And he just completely disregarded the information that they gave him.”

After the murder trial ended, Clancy’s attorney Kevin Reddington voiced his frustration with the holdout juror.

“[Clancy] was robbed by this man,” Reddington said, adding that he hopes the juror can “sleep at night.”

Reddington later shared why he was frustrated with the holdout juror during an appearance on Good Morning America.

“What I was upset about was after that lengthy trial and the work that everyone put into this case including these jurors that spent literally almost two months away from their home, their job, their family where a gentleman had an opinion … but that according to the note from the forelady that he had doubt but he would not apply the law of reasonable doubt as presented by the judge,” Reddington told George Stephanopoulos. “That’s not right and that’s why I was upset.”

He also clarified that he respected the juror’s right to hold out.

“That’s part of our judicial system, and I respect that,” Reddington said. “And I would certainly defend his right to do that.”

Clancy, 36, was accused by prosecutors of deliberately murdering her three children, 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and 8-month-old Callan with exercise bands in the family’s Duxbury, Mass., home on Jan. 24, 2023. After the killings, Clancy attempted suicide by cutting her wrists and jumping from a second-story window. Clancy was paralyzed from the waist down as a result.

During the five-week trial, Clancy did not dispute that she killed her children. Her defense attorney, Kevin Reddington, argued that she was not criminally responsible, saying she was overmedicated and experiencing postpartum psychosis at the time of the killings.
