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.

    A lot of crime is evidence of insanity, from narcissism, megalomania; really, all homicide is rooted in insanity.

    We lock those people the hell up, though.

    No one gets a cushy institutionalization unless their docs all agree. Into genpop until then.

      Cushy institutionalization? You’ve got some wild misunderstandings of how any of this works. It’s prison, with prison conditions. Nothing fucking cushy about it, but I’m guessing you’re far more interested in punishment than rehabilitation.

        I’m certainly not interested in rehabilitating child murderers. Just get them out of society forever.

            I’m fine with being belligerent and cruel to people who harm children. If you have to be taught that that’s wrong then there’s no place for you in this world. We have more than enough people that need help as it is.

                I can be kind to lots of people. I’m just not doing it for those who by their own actions have rendered themselves undeserving of it. That energy is better spent elsewhere.

      In many, many significant ways, perpetual civil commitment (to an “institution”) is far more horrific of a state than being in prison. People like you are incredibly fucking stupid.
