Lindsay Clancy juror ‘admitted he had reasonable doubt,’ foreperson says

In an interview, three jurors spoke about being frustrated with one holdout who wouldn’t listen to the rest of the panel before a mistrial was declared.

Three jurors from the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, which ended in a mistrial last week, have come forward to discuss the deliberations, confirming there was one person on the panel who expressed reasonable doubt but wouldn’t agree to a verdict.

Roni Carlson, the jury foreperson and a retired fifth-grade teacher, said that being unable to reach a unanimous verdict after a draining trial was “awful” and an “emotional rollercoaster.”

Carlson said she wrote the final jury note to the judge “with a heavy heart.”

“I was so sad, so sad that we couldn’t come up with a verdict for Lindsay. It was so heartbreaking,” she told NBC News on Tuesday.

Carlson described the jury deliberations as highly emotional, with “lots of crying, lots of telling, just lots of tears and then hugging.”
