A holdout juror in Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial has defended his guilty vote, rejecting claims that he had reasonable doubts. He said he believed Clancy understood right from wrong and had planned the killings of her three children, despite the other 11 jurors favouring a verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity.

The juror said deliberations lasted about 40 hours and were contentious, with his views repeatedly interrupted. He cited Clancy’s preparations, including sending her husband on errands before the attacks, and said he had faced hostility and alleged misrepresentation from fellow jurors after the mistrial. The trial ended in an 11–1 deadlock, and prosecutors have not said whether they will retry Clancy or pursue a plea deal.
