What to know

  • A single juror blocked 11 others from convicting Lindsay Clancy on an insanity defense, resulting in mistrial.
  • The 11 jurors, Clancy's attorney, and NBC Boston's investigation all scrutinized the holdout, raising questions about whether he disclosed prior domestic violence allegations on his questionnaire.
  • The holdout juror is Black and the only person of color on the jury, complicating narratives that blamed an angry white man for the mistrial.
  • Conservative criticism frames the NBC investigation as doxxing and selective targeting motivated by the juror's vote rather than genuine journalistic concern.

“had the hardest time getting off the fact that Lindsay viciously killed her children.”

    RedState column condemns NBC coverage as doxxing and journalistic overreach

    A RedState opinion piece criticized the NBC investigation as effective doxxing and "a new low in journalism," arguing the outlet would not have pursued the juror's background had he voted to convict. The column also noted a juror had revealed the holdout was Black and the only person of color on the jury.

    “This is, in my opinion, a new low in journalism…NBC News wouldn't give a royal rip about the supposed allegations against this man…had he voted the 'right way.'”
