Just days after Plymouth County Superior Court Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial in the Lindsay Clancy case, three jurors are coming forward to reveal the frustration inside the deliberation room. On Friday, September 4th, Judge Sullivan declared a mistrial after jurors deciding Clancy's criminal response.

in the strangulation deaths of her three young children failed to reach a unanimous verdict after over six days of deliberation. The jury made up of nine women and three men began deliberating on Thursday, August 27th. Three times they informed Judge Sullivan they were hopelessly deadlocked at 11 to 1. Now three female jurors, a retired chef, a retired fifth grade special needs teacher, and a woman who worked for government contractors are speaking directly to NBC10 Boston, about the single holdout juror who allegedly admitted he had reasonable doubt. The foreperson described to NBC10 Boston the exact moment she thought of final verdict had been reached. He admitted he had reasonable doubt and I started filling out the forms.

I was so excited. I actually, there were three forms I had to fill out and I started filling them out. I wrote my signature on each one and then he said, but I'm still not going to say that she's not guilty by reason of uncertainty. A second juror disclosed to NBC10 Boston that the male holdout juror refused to interact with the rest of the group throughout the entire deliberative process. We read to him on numerous occasions

the definition of reasonable doubt from Judge Sullivan's instruction. He actually said one day in the end, well, why don't we have the judge come in and read it again? And we were like, no. We have it in front of us, but he had the hardest time getting off the fact that Lindsay viciously killed her children. A third juror described the holdout to NBC10

Boston as very arrogant and completely closed off to the evidence. He really did not take anything that anybody said. The nurses, he tried to ask a question about the medications and we went back to the report from South Shore Hospital. We had the toxicology report. We could see exactly the amounts. The nurses in the room spoke to that and tossed it on the jury. There were nurses on the jury. Yes. They spoke to that specific thing. That was a question that he had. And he just completely disregarded the information that they gave it. Thirty-six-year-old Lindsay Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse at Massachusetts General Hospital, pleaded not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility in the strangulation deaths of five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson, and

eight-month-old Callan. Prosecutors alleged Clancy deliberately killed her children at their Duxbury home in January 2023. Defense attorney Kevin Redington argued she suffered from postpartum psychosis and was over-medicated. Clancy then jumped from a second-story window in a suicide attempt, leaving her paralyzed. Over 80 witnesses testified, including Clancy's ex-husband Patrick, who testified she built a snowman with their children hours before the killings. More crime and justice news after this.

during a fatal crash in Pike County. On August 29, three juveniles survived a severe head-on collision when a man allegedly fleeing police during a domestic violence call crashed into a vehicle driven by 41-year-old Amanda Wirtman as they returned from a Girl Scouts trip. The fleeing suspect and Amanda Wirtman were killed at the scene, while Wirtman's 8-year-old daughter, Michaela, died at the hospital, according to the Indiana State Police. In the wreckage, 8-year-old survivor Amelia Freeland sprang into action.

Amelia's mother, Tasha Cox, says that after the car flipped and caught fire, Amelia unbuckled her seatbelt, climbed out, and helped unbuckle her friend and five-year-old Theodore Wartman. Amelia suffered a compressed neck fracture requiring four to six. weeks to heal, while fellow 8-year-old survivor Oakley suffers from two brain bleats. Theodore is home recovering while mourning his mother and sister, according to updates on their respective GoFundMe pages. Finally, more than 50 years after two teenage sisters from New Jersey were murdered during a Florida vacation, authorities have identified their killer. Marguerite Maggie Jenkins, 18, and Mary Jenkins, 16, were found dead in a Key Largo-Wooded

area near Mile Marker 99.5 on May 3rd, 1973, one day after hitchhiking on Stock Island. Both had been severely beaten and shot. On September 2nd, 26, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement in Monroe County Sheriff's Office announced that David Allen Snyder was identified as the suspect. Snyder, who lived in Key West between 1972 and 1974, died in Idaho in October in October 2008 without facing trial. The cold case broke open in 2018 when FDLE analysts extracted a partial male DNA profile from a bloodstain on clothing. In 2023, FDLE paired with Othrum Laboratory with Othrum Laboratory to construct a genetic profile, eventually tracing Snyder's family tree and confirming a match via a relative's DNA sample in 2026.

The victim's surviving older sister, Sarah Jenkins Barlow, who was night. at the time, recalled traveling to Florida for a month after the killings to do her own investigation. Decades later, Barlow remembers Maggie as a daredevil who dreamed of owning a horse ranch, and Mary as a sweet girl with a beautiful singing voice, saying she continues to honor them by living her life to the fullest.
