The family of the lone holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial says their lives have been turned upside down since the case ended in a mistrial.
The family says they didn’t even know he was serving on the high-profile jury, but now they are being hounded so badly they cannot leave the house.
The juror’s brother told the New York Post that strangers have been leaving notes at his mother’s house and that reporters and people obsessed with the case will not leave them alone.
“My family cannot leave the house,” he said. “They are leaving notes at my mother’s house. They won’t leave us alone, and we don’t know anything.”
“People have been calling me like crazy. It’s crazy.”
The family is devoutly Catholic Haitian immigrants, but the brother said that religion had nothing to do with the decision.
“I don’t think religion had anything to do with it,” he said. “He looked at the case, and he made the call.”
The brother added, “His choice was good for some people, but not good for other people.”

Lindsay Clancy, a 36-year-old former nurse from Duxbury, Massachusetts, admitted she strangled her children Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and 8-month-old Callan with exercise bands in the basement of the family home on January 24, 2023, after sending her husband Patrick out for takeout.
Two of the children were dead when he returned.
The baby died three days later.
Clancy jumped from a window and was left paralyzed from the waist down.
Prosecutors charged her with three counts of first-degree murder, but the defense, and a large movement of feminists, argued she was dealing with postpartum psychosis and was not criminally responsible.
After more than 38 hours of deliberations over seven days, the jury deadlocked 11-1.
Eleven jurors, nine women and two men, wanted to find her not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility.
One man would not go along.
Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial on September 4.
Clancy’s lawyer, Kevin Reddington, asked the judge to remove the holdout, claiming he was not following the law on reasonable doubt. The judge refused.
Several of the other jurors went public almost immediately. Foreperson Roni Carlson said the holdout admitted he had reasonable doubt, then refused to sign a not-guilty-by-reason-of-insanity verdict.
Juror Paula Devlin called him “very arrogant” and said he would not listen.
Soon, the media had figured out his identity and went on what appeared to be a campaign to make sure that nobody dares to try to hold her accountable if there is another trial.
NBC10 Boston published a report last week about dismissed domestic violence allegations against the juror from 2021, an active restraining order obtained by a teenage nephew, and an eviction case.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis called the report a smear and offered him asylum.
A man objected to allowing a woman to kill her three young kids and get away with it, so NBC is trying to smear that juror, whose identity should be protected. Another low for legacy media.

“A man objected to allowing a woman to kill her three young kids and get away with it, so NBC is trying to smear that juror, whose identity should be protected,” DeSantis wrote. “Another low for legacy media. If the juror is being harassed, Florida will provide asylum — I’m sure he’d be welcomed and appreciated.”
A GiveSendGo campaign titled “Stand With the Juror,” organized by Tom Hennessey, has raised substantial money for the man.
As of Tuesday, the page showed more than $191,000 raised toward a $250,000 goal for security, lawyers, and lost work.
The campaign page states that the juror “looked at what she did, not the brand of Zoloft,” and that the defense tried to have him thrown off the panel.
“Now she can be tried again for killing her children instead of getting a standing ovation for her symptoms,” it says.
Judge Sullivan has now sealed the jurors’ identities indefinitely, citing a risk of immediate and irreparable injury and noting that at least one juror asked for continued privacy.
Clancy is due back in Plymouth Superior Court on September 29, when the defense is expected to press a motion to dismiss.
Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz has not announced whether he will retry Clancy on first-degree murder.
