What to know

  • After a mistrial due to a lone holdout juror, defense attorney Reddington filed a motion for directed acquittal and publicly attacked the juror's credibility.
  • Jury foreperson Paula Devlin's new account shows the holdout juror initially wanted first-degree murder but reconsidered after reviewing evidence, contradicting Reddington's narrative.
  • The revelation that the juror changed his vote—rather than stubbornly refusing to apply law—significantly weakens Reddington's appeal strategy and any challenge to the mistrial.

    Jury foreperson reveals holdout juror changed vote, undercuts appeal

    Jury foreperson Paula Devlin discloses to CBS that the holdout juror initially wanted first-degree murder conviction but shifted his position after reviewing video of Clancy's police interview, suggesting he was a thoughtful deliberator rather than an obstinate holdout. The revelation potentially weakens Reddington's appellate argument.

    “the holdout juror refused to vote not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility…because he doubted Clancy was having a psychotic break when she killed her 3 kids…”
