A juror in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial revealed that the lone holdout, who caused an 11-1 hung jury, was fixated on the amount of blood found at the crime scene and refused to elaborate on his reasoning.
Paula Devlin, a juror in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, disclosed that the single holdout, one of only three men on the 12-person jury, was fixated on the amount of blood found in Clancy's bedroom, leading to an 11-1 hung jury. Devlin, 65, stated the holdout believed there was 'too much blood for the wounds that she had,' despite expert testimony explaining blood spatter. When pressed by other jurors, he refused to elaborate or explain his reasoning. Clancy's now-ex-husband, Patrick, testified to finding 'blood everywhere' after discovering his children dead and his wife bleeding outside. Prosecutors said Lindsay cut her wrists and neck before jumping from a second-story window in an attempt to end her life, leaving her partially paralyzed. The holdout appeared confused by the amount of blood, particularly as an ICU nurse described Clancy's wounds as superficial. Devlin also mentioned the holdout's demeanor during deliberations, noting he spent breaks watching videos or talking to his wife and expressed frustration when other jurors spoke out of turn.
