The sole juror who held out in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial was also the only Black member of the jury, according to a fellow panelist in a new interview.
Paula Devlin, an outspoken juror who joined the 11-member majority favoring a finding that Clancy was not criminally responsible for the deaths of her three young children, told “CBS Mornings” on Friday that the lone holdout was a Black man and the jury’s only person of color.

“Everybody else was White,” Devlin said.
“I have to sit with that for just a second,” host Gayle King replied during the interview.

Devlin said the jurors’ ages ranged from 22 to “70-ish.”
Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial last week after the jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict. Jurors reported an 11-1 split, with the lone male holdout casting the only vote to convict Clancy of first-degree murder in the deaths of her children: 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and 8-month-old Callan.
