据马萨诸塞州布罗克顿警察局消息，这起备受关注的林赛·克兰西谋杀案审判中，唯一一名持不同意见的陪审员在2021年9月曾被指控犯有家庭暴力罪。
警方报告显示，该陪审员13岁的侄子拨打了911报警，称其叔叔和婶婶发生了争吵。
报告称，这位身份尚未公开的陪审员 allegedly 掐住妻子的喉咙，并将她推倒在梳妆台上。
该陪审员随后被指控一项家庭暴力袭击和殴打罪，他对此拒不认罪。
根据法庭记录，这项刑事指控后来被撤销。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻已联系该陪审员及其家人置评，但尚未收到回复。由于法庭尚未公开陪审团名单，哥伦比亚广播公司新闻不会公布他的姓名。
哥伦比亚广播公司法律分析师卡罗琳·波利西表示，真正的问题在于该陪审员在填写陪审员调查问卷时是否撒谎。
“评判标准是他在陪审团遴选过程中是否故意作出虚假陈述。如果存在这种情况，那就是犯罪，”她补充道，“但被捕并不意味着自动丧失担任陪审员的资格。”
陪审员调查问卷作为官方法庭记录的一部分被密封。
“除非获得法庭正式批准的调查，否则我们不太可能查明该陪审员是否作出了虚假陈述，”波利西说。
当被问及这可能对本案产生何种影响时，波利西表示：“通常情况下，这可能会成为推翻有罪判决的理由，但鉴于本案已宣布审判无效，目前尚不清楚这将对案件后续进展产生何种影响。”
克兰西承认杀害了自己的三个孩子，但陪审员们未能就她是否应承担刑事责任达成一致。多名陪审员和辩方律师表示，陪审团以11比1的投票结果倾向于认定她因精神疾病证据而无需承担刑事责任。
9月4日，在陪审团三次表示陷入僵局后，威廉·沙利文法官宣布审判无效。
地区检察官蒂莫西·克鲁兹尚未宣布州政府是否会对克兰西重新提起诉讼。下一次法庭听证会定于9月29日在普利茅斯高等法院举行。
Holdout juror in Lindsay Clancy trial faced domestic violence allegation, but charge dismissed, records show

The lone holdout juror in the high-profile Lindsay Clancy murder trial was accused of domestic violence in September 2021, according to the Brockton, Massachusetts, Police Department.
The police report says the juror’s 13-year-old nephew called 911 after he said his uncle and aunt got into an argument.
The report says that the juror, who has not been identified, allegedly grabbed his wife by the throat and threw her into a dresser.
The juror was subsequently charged with one count of domestic violence assault and battery. He pleaded not guilty.
The criminal charge was later dismissed, according to court records.
CBS News has reached out to the juror and his family members for comment, but has not yet heard back. CBS News is not publishing his name, as the court has not yet made the jury list public.
CBS News Legal Analyst Caroline Polisi said the real issue here is whether the juror lied when filling out the juror questionnaire.
“The test is whether he made purposeful misrepresentations during the jury selection process. If he did, that’s a crime,” she said, adding that “an arrest is not an automatic disqualification for serving on a jury.”
The juror court questionnaires are sealed as part of the official court record.
“It’s unlikely we will find out whether the juror made misrepresentations unless there is an official court-sanctioned inquiry,” Polisi said.
When asked what impact this could have had on this trial, Polisi said, “Typically this could be a reason to undermine a guilty verdict, but because in this case a mistrial has already been declared, it’s unclear how this will affect the case moving forward.”
Clancy admitted to killing her three children, but jurors were not able to agree on whether or not she should be held criminally responsible. Several jurors and the defense attorney indicated the jury was split 11 to 1 in favor of finding her not criminally responsible due to evidence of her mental illness.
On Sept. 4, Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial after the jury said it was deadlocked three times.
District Attorney Timothy Cruz has not yet announced whether the state will be retrying Clancy. The next court hearing is scheduled for Sept. 29 at Plymouth Superior Court.
