\u2018He couldn\u2019t get over the fact that Clancy viciously killed her children.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those are the words of one of the insufferably condescending female jurors from the Lindsay Clancy mistrial who have gone public with their disdain for the lone male juror who refused to go along with their not guilty verdict.<\/p>\n

Good for him.<\/p>\n

The children, Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, have been the forgotten victims in this case.<\/p>\n

The Massachusetts nurse does not dispute that she strangled her children one by one on Jan. 24, 2023, with exercise bands around their necks after she sent her husband, Patrick, out on an errand.<\/p>\n

Patrick returned to his kids dead and his wife bleeding on the snow-covered yard after she cut her wrists and throat and leaped out a bedroom window 12 feet above the ground, rendering herself paralyzed from the waist down. Rather than accepting blame, Lindsay, 36, pleaded not guilty, claiming she could not tell right from wrong at the time because she was suffering from postpartum psychosis, even though evidence for that was thin.<\/p>\n

Withstood pressure<\/h2>\n

A mistrial was called last Friday because the jury of nine women and three men could not agree on a verdict after more than seven days of deliberations so contentious that yelling reportedly could be heard outside the room.<\/p>\n

Now that several of the jurors have come out and exposed themselves, we can see the immense pressure that the lone holdout juror was under day after day in that jury room, being harangued and browbeaten by women infuriated that he refused to be persuaded by their self-proclaimed superior wisdom.<\/p>\n

Jury forewoman Roni Carlson, a former elementary school teacher, Kellie Farina, a chef for a senior center, and Paula Devlin, who does work for a defense contractor, were interviewed on camera by NBC10 Boston, and it\u2019s hard to imagine a more smug group lacking in self-awareness or any humility. They revealed that there were a number of nurses and teachers on the jury.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was very arrogant,\u201d Devlin said of the holdout. \u201cHe did not take anything that anybody said.\u201d<\/p>\n

She complained there were multiple nurses on the jury who took it on themselves to explain the toxicology reports to the holdout juror.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe tried to ask a question about the medications,\u201d said Devlin. \u201cWe had the toxicology report. We could see exactly the amounts. The nurses in the room spoke to that. And talked to that.<\/p>\n
