Scrutiny of the holdout juror in Lindsay Clancy's trial could have wider implications

A frenzy of juror scrutiny following the mistrial in the Lindsay Clancy case could lead to a "chilling effect" when it comes to seating juries in high-profile cases, according to attorneys and jury experts. That includes any possible future trial for Clancy, if prosecutors seek to retry her for the killing of her three children in Massachusetts in 2023.
Clancy's case ended in a mistrial. Public attention, fueled by social media furor, quickly focused on one juror, who others on the jury said blocked an otherwise unanimous verdict to acquit.
