In the more than two weeks since a Massachusetts judge was forced to declare a mistrial in the case against Lindsay Clancy, the defendant’s supporters have not let up in their campaign to ruin the life of the lone holdout juror whose confidence cost Clancy an acquittal verdict.
We now know that juror’s name, but only because his fellow jurors and their cheering section in the press did their utmost to out him. When his critics weren’t seeking to expose the juror’s identity, they were besmirching his character and judgment — sometimes in especially delusional ways. “He had the hardest time getting off the fact that Lindsay viciously killed her children,” as one juror memorably put it, betraying both her personal affection for the defendant and an unsettling inhumanity.
