TL;DR Summary

Three jurors who voted to acquit Lindsay Clancy describe a brutal, week-long deadlock in her murder trial, with a lone holdout expressing reasonable doubt and blocking a verdict. The forewoman began to sign the forms before the holdout rejected a not-guilty-by-insanity verdict, leading the judge to declare a mistrial; the jurors say the evidence showed Clancy loved her children and that the prosecution was harsher than the defense. Prosecutors have not announced whether they will retry the case.
