Holdout juror scrolled through his phone, couldn’t justify stance in Clancy deliberations

Juror Nick Dargie says a holdout in Lindsay Clancy’s trial scrolled his phone, couldn’t back up his stance with evidence, and even appeared to mimic Clancy strangling her children. Dargie voted not guilty by reason of insanity, noting the holdout’s lack of engagement helped produce a mistrial. He also referenced the Massachusetts burden of proof for criminal responsibility and suggested retrial could yield a different outcome, though the DA has not announced next steps.
