在ofLindsay Clancyis的审判中，一名法官分享了他在陪审团室内所说的事情的新细节，这些事情导致了一名马萨诸塞州妇女因2023年杀害她的三个年幼的孩子而面临一级谋杀指控。
尼克·达吉是12人陪审团的三名成员之一，他告诉美国广播公司新闻频道的艾伦·卡特斯基，唯一一名阻止一致裁决的陪审员没有拿出任何证据来解释他的投票。
“有几次我会要求他给我们看证据，或者，你知道，描述一个有助于证明他所说的话的证人证词．．．25岁的达吉在周三的一次采访中说。
陪审团的审议最终产生了11比1的分裂，以精神错乱为由支持无罪，但最后一名陪审员不会改变他支持定罪的立场，据其他公开发言的陪审员说。
“没有任何证据或证人证词可以证明他为什么会这样想，这就是为什么我们最终提交了那封信，”达吉说，他指的是陪审团主席给法官威廉·沙利文的一封导致无效审判的信。“否则，就像有人持有完全相反的观点没什么错一样．．．那将是一个悬而未决的陪审团。这就是我们的司法系统。
2023年1月24日，克兰西在波士顿郊区杜克斯伯里的家中杀害了她5岁的女儿科拉、3岁的儿子道森和年幼的儿子卡兰，他对三项谋杀指控拒不认罪。
经过一周的商议，她为期五周的审判于9月4日以无效审判告终。
在克兰西的整个审判过程中，大部分证据都集中在她是否患有产后精神病——根据美国妇产科医师学会的说法，这被认为是一种精神疾病——当她勒死自己的孩子并试图结束自己的生命时，以及她是否应该为这些杀人行为承担刑事责任。
马萨诸塞州的陪审员被告知，为了证明被告对自己的行为负有刑事责任，检察官必须“排除合理怀疑，证明被告在被指控的犯罪行为发生时没有精神疾病或缺陷，”根据马萨诸塞州法院系统。
普利茅斯县地方检察官蒂莫西·克鲁兹尚未宣布是否重审克兰西的决定。
9月4日，当宣布无效审判时，克鲁兹在法院外说，“我很欣赏这个事实，人们对这个案件有强烈的感情和看法。”。“然而，我们的工作是抛开我们的感情，只关注事实。事实是林赛·克兰西杀害了她的三个孩子，证据表明她在实施这些谋杀时能够控制自己的行为。”
双方定于9月29日出庭，以确定无效审判后的下一步行动。
Clancy juror says holdout didn＇t show ＇single piece of evidence＇ explaining vote
Ajurorin the trial ofLindsay Clancyis sharing new details about what he said happened inside the jury room that led to amistrialin 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．
Jury deliberations eventually yielded an 11-1 split in favor of not guilty by reason of insanity， but the final juror would not change his position favoring conviction，according toother jurors who spoke out publicly．
＂There wasn＇t a single piece of evidence or witness testimony that he used to prove why he was thinking the way he was， which is why we ultimately sent in that note，＂ Dargie said， referring to a note the jury foreperson gave to Judge William Sullivan， leading to the mistrial． ＂Otherwise， like there＇s nothing wrong with somebody having a completely opposite opinion ．．． that would be a hung jury． That， like that， is our justice system．
Clancy pleaded not guilty to three murder charges for thedeathsof her 5-year-old daughter Cora， 3-year-old son Dawson and infant son Callan at the family＇s home in Duxbury， a Boston suburb， on Jan． 24， 2023．
Her five-week trialendedin a mistrial on Sept． 4， after a week of deliberations．
Throughout Clancy＇s trial， much of thetestimony centeredon whether or not she was suffering frompostpartum psychosis-- considered a psychiatric emergency， according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists -- when she strangled her children and attempted to take her own life， and whether she should be held criminally liable for the killings．
Jurors in Massachusetts are instructed that in order to prove a defendant is criminally responsible for their conduct， prosecutors must ＂prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant did not suffer from a mental disease or defect at the time of the alleged offense，＂according tothe Massachusetts Court System．
Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz has not yet announced a decision on whether to retry Clancy．
＂I appreciate the fact that there are strong feelings and opinions tied to this case，＂ Cruz said outside the courthouse on Sept． 4， when the mistrial was declared． ＂However， our job is to set aside our feelings and focus solely on the facts． The facts are Lindsay Clancy killed her three children and the evidence suggested to us that she was in control of her actions when she committed those homicides．＂
The two sides are scheduled to be in court on Sept． 29 to determine next steps following the mistrial．
