Lindsay Clancy's case grabbed worldwide attention, and it ended in a mistrial a few days ago. For the unversed, Lindsay's story is horrific, where a mom killed her three kids, and it's heartbreaking as well because the mom was allegedly not herself when she committed the crime, suffering from postpartum psychosis.

When the case ended in a mistrial, it left everyone divided. The unnamed juror who disagreed with the other 11 jurors and single-handedly thwarted a verdict in Clancy’s sensational trial has a past record of domestic violence, as reported by NBC10 Boston. He allegedly held his wife by the throat and threw her into a dresser back in 2021. He was also reportedly called 'an evil' when he was cuffed, following the incident.
