Lindsay Clancy juror had reasonable doubt but would not agree to acquit, foreperson says

Roni Carlson, in wake of mistrial, says holdout juror could not be persuaded while colleague calls him ‘very arrogant’

A lone juror in the trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother accused of the murder of her three children, would not agree to acquit Clancy despite expressing reasonable doubt about whether she was guilty, the jury’s foreperson said in an interview airing Monday.

Speaking to NBC 10 Boston just days after Clancy’s trial ended in a mistrial, Roni Carlson, the foreperson, confirmed there was one holdout juror who would not be persuaded to acquit Clancy due to insanity.
