- 0:00Speaker 1: Crime Alert, hourly update, breaking crime news now.
- 0:04Speaker 2: I'm Sydney Silvani. Just days after Plymouth County Superior Court
- 0:08Speaker 2: Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial in the Lindsay Clancy case,
- 0:12Speaker 2: three jurors are coming forward to reveal the frustration inside
- 0:16Speaker 2: the deliberation room. On Friday, September 4th, Judge Sullivan declared
- 0:21Speaker 2: a mistrial after jurors deciding Clancy's criminal responsibility in the
- 0:25Speaker 2: strangulation deaths of her three young children failed to reach
- 0:28Speaker 2: a unanimous verdict after over six days of deliberation. The jury,
- 0:33Speaker 2: made up of nine women and three men, began deliberating
- 0:36Speaker 2: on Thursday, August 27. Three times they informed Judge Sullivan
- 0:40Speaker 2: they were hopelessly deadlocked at 11-1. Now, three female jurors,
- 0:45Speaker 2: a retired chef, a retired fifth-grade special needs teacher, and
- 0:49Speaker 2: a woman who worked for government contractors, are speaking directly
- 0:52Speaker 2: to NBC10 Boston about the single holdout juror, who allegedly
- 0:57Speaker 2: admitted he had reasonable doubt. The foreperson described to NBC10
- 1:01Speaker 2: Boston the exact moment she thought a final verdict had
- 1:04Speaker 2: been reached.
- 1:05Speaker 1: He admitted he had reasonable doubt, and I started filling
- 1:09Speaker 1: out the forms. I was so excited. I actually, there
- 1:12Speaker 1: were three forms I had to fill out, and I
- 1:15Speaker 1: started filling them out. I wrote my signature on each one,
- 1:19Speaker 1: and then he said, but I'm still not going to
- 1:22Speaker 1: say that she's not guilty by reason of insanity.
- 1:25Speaker 2: A second juror disclosed to NBC10 Boston that the male
- 1:29Speaker 2: holdout juror refused to interact with the rest of the
- 1:32Speaker 2: group throughout the entire deliberative process.
- 1:35Speaker 3: We read to him on numerous occasions the definition of
- 1:38Speaker 3: reasonable doubt from Judge Sullivan's instruction. He actually said one
- 1:44Speaker 3: day in the end... Well, why don't we have the
- 1:46Speaker 3: judge come in and read it again? And we were like, no,
- 1:49Speaker 3: we have it in front of us. But he had
- 1:52Speaker 3: the hardest time getting off the fact that Lindsay viciously
- 1:56Speaker 3: killed her children.
- 1:57Speaker 2: A third juror described the holdout to NBC 10 Boston
- 2:01Speaker 2: as very arrogant and completely closed off to the evidence.
- 2:04Speaker 4: He really did not take anything that anybody said. The nurses,
- 2:11Speaker 4: he tried to ask a question about the medications, and
- 2:16Speaker 4: we went back to the report from South Shore Hospital.
- 2:20Speaker 4: We had the toxicology report. We could see exactly the amounts.
- 2:24Speaker 4: The nurses in the room spoke to that.
- 2:29Speaker 2: There were nurses on the jury.
- 2:30Speaker 1: Yes.
- 2:31Speaker 4: And they spoke to that specific thing. That was a
- 2:35Speaker 4: question that he had. and he just completely disregarded the
- 2:40Speaker 4: information that they gave him.
- 2:42Speaker 2: 36-year-old Lindsay Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse at
- 2:46Speaker 2: Massachusetts General Hospital, pleaded not guilty by reason of lack
- 2:50Speaker 2: of criminal responsibility in the strangulation deaths of 5-year-old Cora,
- 2:54Speaker 2: 3-year-old Dawson, and 8-month-old Callen. Prosecutors allege Clancy deliberately killed
- 2:59Speaker 2: her children at their Duxbury home in January 2023. Defense
- 3:03Speaker 2: attorney Kevin Reddington argued she suffered from postpartum psychosis and
- 3:07Speaker 2: was overmedicated. Clancy then jumped from a second-story window in
- 3:11Speaker 2: a suicide attempt, leaving her paralyzed. Over 80 witnesses testified,
- 3:16Speaker 2: including Clancy's ex-husband Patrick, who testified she built a snowman
- 3:20Speaker 2: with their children hours before the killings. More crime and
- 3:24Speaker 2: justice news after this. An 8-year-old Indiana girl is being
- 3:30Speaker 2: hailed as a hero by her family after saving her
- 3:33Speaker 2: friends during a fatal crash in Pike County. On August 29,
- 3:37Speaker 2: three juveniles survived a severe head-on collision when a man
- 3:41Speaker 2: allegedly fleeing police during a domestic violence call crashed into
- 3:45Speaker 2: a vehicle driven by 41-year-old Amanda Wertman as they returned
- 3:48Speaker 2: from a Girl Scouts trip. The fleeing suspect and Amanda
- 3:52Speaker 2: Wertman were killed at the scene, while Wertman's 8-year-old daughter, Michaela,
- 3:56Speaker 2: died at the hospital, according to the Indiana State Police.
- 4:00Speaker 2: In the wreckage, 8-year-old survivor Amelia Freeland sprang into action.
- 4:05Speaker 2: Amelia's mother, Tasha Cox, says that after the car flipped
- 4:08Speaker 2: and caught fire, Amelia unbuckled her seatbelt, climbed out, and
- 4:12Speaker 2: helped unbuckle her friend and 5-year-old Theodore Wertman. Amelia suffered
- 4:17Speaker 2: a compressed neck fracture requiring four to six weeks to heal,
- 4:21Speaker 2: while fellow eight-year-old survivor Oakley suffers from two brain bleeds.
- 4:25Speaker 2: Theodore is home recovering while mourning his mother and sister,
- 4:28Speaker 2: according to updates on their respective GoFundMe pages. Finally, more
- 4:33Speaker 2: than 50 years after two teenage sisters from New Jersey
- 4:36Speaker 2: were murdered during a Florida vacation, authorities have identified their killer.
- 4:41Speaker 2: Marguerite Maggie Jenkins, 18, and Mary Jenkins, 16, were found
- 4:46Speaker 2: dead in a Key Largo wooded area near mile marker
- 4:48Speaker 2: 99.5 on May 3, 1973, one day after hitchhiking on
- 4:54Speaker 2: Stock Island. Both had been severely beaten and shot. On
- 4:58Speaker 2: September 2, 2026, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and
- 5:02Speaker 2: Monroe County Sheriff's Office announced that David Allen Snyder was
- 5:06Speaker 2: identified as the suspect. Snyder, who lived in Key West
- 5:10Speaker 2: between 1972 and 1974, died in Idaho in October 2008
- 5:15Speaker 2: without facing trial. The cold case broke open in 2018
- 5:20Speaker 2: when FDLE analysts extracted a partial male DNA profile from
- 5:24Speaker 2: a bloodstain on clothing. In 2023, FDLE paired with Othram
- 5:31Speaker 2: Laboratory to construct a genetic profile, eventually tracing Snyder's family
- 5:35Speaker 2: tree and confirming a match via a relative's DNA sample
- 5:38Speaker 2: in 2026. The victim's surviving older sister, Sarah Jenkins Barlow,
- 5:43Speaker 2: who was 19 at the time, recalled traveling to Florida
- 5:46Speaker 2: for a month after the killings to do her own investigation.
- 5:50Speaker 2: Decades later, Barlow remembers Maggie as a daredevil who dreamed
- 5:54Speaker 2: of owning a horse ranch, and Mary as a sweet
- 5:57Speaker 2: girl with a beautiful singing voice, saying she continues to
- 6:00Speaker 2: honor them by living her life to the fullest. For
