POLICY WIRE — City, Country — A juror in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy revealed disturbing behavior by a lone holdout during deliberations, including acting out the killings on a water bottle.

Nick Dargie, one of three male jurors on the 12-person panel, shared his frustration with the holdout, who remained unidentified. The jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict after 38 hours of deliberation, resulting in a mistrial following three deadlocks.

Defense attorney Kevin Reddington has filed a motion arguing that the prosecution failed to prove Clancy was not in a state of psychosis at the time of the 2023 murders of her three children. Dargie described the holdout’s refusal to engage in discussions and his failure to provide evidence supporting his position, which ultimately led to the jury’s deadlock.
