Lone holdout in Lindsay Clancy trial demonstrated the killings during deliberations, fellow juror says
A juror in Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial says the lone holdout used an exercise band and an empty water bottle to reenact the strangulation of her children during deliberations. Nick Dargie told ABC News the demonstration shocked him and claimed the holdout could not identify evidence or testimony supporting his position.
The trial ended in a mistrial after a reported 11–1 split. Following jurors’ public accounts, defense attorney Kevin Reddington said he planned to seek dismissal on double-jeopardy grounds, arguing that the holdout had acknowledged reasonable doubt but refused to follow the judge’s instructions. Those allegations reflect fellow jurors’ accounts, not a judicial finding of misconduct.
At publication, prosecutors had not announced their next step, and a status hearing was scheduled for September 29.
