A crowdfunding campaign for the lone juror who dissented in the Lindsay Clancy triple-murder trial has raised nearly $85,000 as of Sunday night. The fundraiser, established on GiveSendGo, aims to gather $100,000 to assist the unidentified juror with security, legal representation, and potential lost income stemming from his role in declaring a mistrial.

The juror, described as a Black man in his 30s, was the only one on the 12-person panel who did not agree with the majority finding Clancy not guilty by reason of temporary insanity. Clancy, 36, was accused of fatally strangling her three young children in January 2023. The judge declared a mistrial after the jury could not reach a unanimous verdict.

Notes from the fundraiser's creator, Tom Hennessey, stated that the juror "looked at what she did, not the brand of Zoloft," in contrast to the perceived views of the other jurors. The statement further alleged that the defense had sought to remove the juror for not adhering to the standard of reasonable doubt, but the judge allowed him to remain, ultimately leading to the hung jury and mistrial. The fundraiser statement suggested that Clancy could now face a retrial.

This fundraising effort comes amid reports detailing allegations of domestic violence against the juror and an active restraining order against him. NBC10 Boston reported a September 2021 criminal charge for allegedly assaulting his wife, though the charge was later dismissed. His ex-wife reportedly withdrew her cooperation, citing concerns about child custody. The juror also reportedly has an active restraining order from a nephew who alleged physical assault.

Additionally, a fellow juror reportedly claimed the holdout juror mimicked the children's strangulation by wrapping an exercise band around a water bottle during deliberations. This incident was reportedly met with shock by other jurors.

In response to the juror's situation, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis publicly offered "asylum" in Florida to the juror, criticizing media outlets for reporting on the juror's past while suggesting his identity should be protected. DeSantis characterized the juror's dissent as an objection to allowing a woman to avoid consequences for killing her children.

Lindsay Clancy remains housed in a state-run psychiatric facility, Tewksbury Hospital. Her next court hearing is scheduled for September 29.
