A juror in Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial provided new details Thursday about the lone holdout on the panel, including that he acted out the killings on a water bottle during deliberations.

Nick Dargie, 25, was one of the three men on the 12-person jury tasked with determining whether Clancy should be held criminally responsible for the 2023 strangulation deaths of her three young children: Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months old. He told “Good Morning America” on Thursday about his frustrations with the holdout juror, who has yet to be publicly identified.

“I think we felt defeated,” Dargie said about the case’s conclusion. “We spent seven weeks on this trial, almost two months of, you know, all of our lives dedicated to it.”

He is among at least five jurors — and the first male — who have spoken out about the case and what happened inside the deliberation room at Plymouth Superior Court last week. After more than 38 hours, the jurors could not reach a unanimous decision, forcing Judge William Sullivan to declare a mistrial after they deadlocked three times.

Dargie said that toward the end of deliberations, the holdout juror would not engage in discussions with others or provide evidence that supported his reasoning, instead choosing to scroll on his phone.
