Three female jurors in the Lindsay Clancy trial stoked outrage from many on social media for disparaging the lone male juror who refused to acquit the mother who admitted to strangling her three children to death. In an interview with NBC10 Boston that aired Tuesday, jurors Paula Devlin, Kellie Farina and Roni Carlson, who served as the jury foreperson, described in unusual detail what happened behind the jury-room door.
The case, which ended in a mistrial last Friday, has prompted support for Clancy from many female supporters who believe she was not guilty by reason of insanity or that her ex-husband, Patrick Clancy, was somehow to blame.

The most D*MNING admission came when one female juror couldn’t understand why “he had the hardest time… pic.twitter.com/zdI2IMGU5b Carlson, a retired fifth-grade special needs teacher, said she was initially "so excited" at the prospect of an insanity acquittal when the male juror appeared poised to flip his guilty verdict, but she noted her excitement turned to frustration amid his adamant refusal.
Devlin, who works for a government contractor, called the male juror "very arrogant" because he disregarded input from nurses on the jury about Clancy's toxicology results.
Farina, a retired chef, said he "would not interact with us" and "had the hardest time getting off the fact that Lindsay viciously killed her children." The three also criticized the prosecution's tone, describing it as "harsh," "biased," and lacking compassion, while praising defense attorney Kevin Reddington's "funny" and "entertaining" style.
