Lindsay Clancy juror who initially leaned guilty reveals ‘strong personalities’ in deliberation room: report

I strongly support even obviously guilty defendants getting legal council and the best defense they can get. I’ve seen just enough of this attorney to believe that he’s well past that and into sketchy (at best) territory. He’s just an ass.

They flat out said there were nurses on the jury who were explaining and interpreting toxicology reports and medical records during deliberations. The whole thing seems compromised to me.

One juror who spoke on the condition of anonymity said that she leaned guilty throughout the entire trial but voted NGRI because it was “the only way to get Lindsay the help she needed”.

The jurors in any trial are deliberately instructed that the only thing that matters is whether guilt has been proved or not. It is not the place of the juror to consider how best to help the defendant and jurors are instructed not to let potential consequences or sentencing affect their verdict.

Clearly these jurors did not follow the law or the judge’s instructions when they’re openly admitting that they believe she’s guilty, but voted a different way than the law commands to help the defendant instead.
