One Lindsay Clancy Juror Set Off What Fight?

The Lindsay Clancy jury didn’t merely deadlock. According to Kevin Reddington, its foreperson raised a problem involving one juror and the court’s reasonable-doubt instructions.

Reddington wanted that juror removed. Judge William Sullivan refused, correctly noting that removing someone from a deliberating jury is an extraordinarily sensitive move.

But now imagine actually being inside that room.

These jurors heard weeks of testimony about the deaths of three children. Defense experts said Clancy was psychotic and lacked criminal responsibility. Prosecution experts disagreed. Then twelve non-experts were told to somehow convert all of that into one unanimous answer.

Tony Brueski asks whether the lone holdout is always the courageous skeptic we imagine, what prolonged deliberations do to human beings, and whether a verdict produced by exhaustion is necessarily better than no verdict at all.
