Lindsay Clancy holdout juror's family break silence and reveal that religion DIDN'T impact his decision to trigger mistrial

The family of the holdout juror who triggered a mistrial in the Lindsay Clancy murder case say their lives have been turned upside-down following his refusal to acquit the mother, his brother says. The holdout juror's brother said his family did not even know he was sitting on the high-profile murder case until the trial ended in a controversial 11-1 deadlock earlier this month. The juror, who has not been publicly identified, maintained that Clancy should be found guilty, even as his fellow jurors voted to find Clancy not guilty of murdering her three young children by reason of insanity. The juror's brother, who was not named, defended his refusal to change his vote, telling the New York Post: 'He looked at the case, and he made the call.'For me, that’s how I would do it. I would just listen to the case with all the evidence, and go from there,' he said. The juror's brother acknowledged that the decision had sharply divided public opinion, as he conceded it was 'good for some people, but not good for other people.'He said his family, who he said are devoutly Catholic and are originally from Haiti, have been harassed and hounded relentlessly ever since the controversial mistrial.'My family cannot leave the house,' the brother said. 'People have been calling me like crazy. It's crazy.'They are leaving notes at my mother’s house. They won’t leave us alone and we don’t know anything.'

'He didn't tell us anything.' Clancy's murder trial sparked national debate over whether she should be held criminally liable for the murder of her three children, Cora, 5, Dawson, 4, and Callan, 8-months.The mother admitted to strangling the children to death with exercise bands, but her defense argued she was overmedicated by doctors and suffering from severe postpartum psychosis at the time.Jurors deliberated for almost a full week, but the trial ended in an 11-1 deadlock. Prosecutors are yet to announce if they will re-try Clancy for murder.Reports surfaced following the trial that the holdout juror had faced charges of domestic violence in 2021, but he was never prosecuted and the charges were dropped. The reports raised questions over how the juror was admitted to the case, as potential jurors are required to disclose if they have ever been arrested or charged with a crime in the past.

'She said, ‘I can’t pay.’ And he went right over and paid her bill.' He added that the juror remarried recently, and when his new wife came by the garage recently, 'She said the media has been crazy and they're gonna lay low for a while.'Another of the jurors, Paula Devlin, previously told the Daily Mail of her frustrations with the holdout juror during deliberations, saying he lectured his peers about 'respect' during their tough conversations.Devlin, 65, told how 11 of the 12 jurors who decided Clancy was not guilty of murder or manslaughter in the deaths of her kids felt 'defeat' and 'anger' when a mistrial was declared after the lone male juror refused to acquit the former nurse.Devlin, who works for a government contractor, said the holdout juror made 'no sense' when pressed on his reasons for his vote and was 'quiet' for most of the week-long deliberations.
