A juror in the trial of Lindsay Clancy is sharing new details about what he said happened inside the jury room that led to a mistrial in the case of the Massachusetts woman facing first-degree murder charges for the 2023 deaths of her three young children.
Nick Dargie, one of the three men on the 12-person jury, told ABC News’ Aaron Katersky that the lone holdout juror who prevented a unanimous verdict did not show any evidence explaining his vote.
“There was several times I would ask him to show us evidence or, you know, describe a witness testimony that helped to prove what he was saying, and … he couldn’t,” Dargie, 25, said in an interview Wednesday.
No, cause explaining your reasoning just gives people something to argue with you about. I don’t even know why they deliberate. If it requires skmeone else tomconvince you, then it isn’t your opinion, it’s theirs.
If you get convinced than your opinion changed and you now have a new opinion of your own.
But you are supposed to be forming an opinion based on what you saw in court. The whole point of their being 12 is that if all 12 are convinced then the person must be guilty. By letting people convince each other, all it takes is one very charismatic person to convince everyone. So then your jury is really the opinion of one.
