林赛·克兰西谋杀案陪审员宝拉·德夫林表示，最让她动摇的是克兰西前夫的证词，而陪审团中唯一持不同意见的陪审员可能因此感到被攻击，拒绝更改自己的投票。
在周五接受《CBS晨间新闻》联合主持人盖尔·金的采访时，德夫林表示，陪审团最初审议时分歧严重，8人认为克兰西无需承担责任，2人尚未决定，2人认为其谋杀罪名成立。
陪审团由9名女性和3名男性组成。德夫林说，陪审员年龄从22岁到70岁左右不等，只有一名少数族裔成员——一名30多岁的黑人男性，他也是唯一持不同意见的人。
“根据我听到的所有证据，我一开始倾向于认为她无需承担责任，”德夫林告诉金。“在进入审议环节时，我有一些内容想要仔细研究。我们讨论的每一件事、房间里每个人提出的每一个观点，都越来越坚定了我的这个想法。”
克兰西被控于2023年1月24日在马萨诸塞州达克斯特里的家中谋杀了自己的三个年幼孩子——5岁的科拉、3岁的道森和8个月大的卡兰。她的辩护律师辩称，她因服药过量且患有产后精神病，无需承担刑事责任。检察官则认为克兰西是有预谋作案，能够明辨是非。
这场备受关注的审判于上周五宣布无效审判，因为陪审团经过7天多的审议仍无法达成一致裁决。
包括德夫林在内的几名陪审员表示，陪审团当时以11比1的票数倾向于认定克兰西无需承担责任。
她说，他们花了几天时间试图说服这位认为克兰西应被判谋杀罪的持不同意见者站到他们这边，但他始终不肯让步。

“我们所有人都齐心协力。我不知道一开始是不是为了说服他，”德夫林告诉金。“当票数变成10比2时，我们所有人都在努力说服自己。我非常同情他们，因为他们感到被攻击了，而这确实无法避免。”
“哪怕是在正常对话中，当矛头指向你，需要你为自己辩护时，也是一件难事，”她补充道。“我们不必总是这样做。”
德夫林说，有两位证人特别坚定了她的裁决决定：法医精神病学家菲利普·雷斯尼克博士，以及林赛的前夫帕特里克·克兰西——他在林赛试图自杀后发现了孩子们的尸体。

“我认为雷斯尼克博士关于利他性杀婴的证词确实极具冲击力，”德夫林说，她指的是父母认为杀死孩子对他们最有利的心理状况。“在整个审判过程中，所有证人都一致称赞林赛，说她是多么棒的母亲，多么爱自己的孩子。”
“我们从案发当晚家里拍摄的每一张照片中都能感受到这一点，”她继续说道。“随处可见的都是爱意。有一块大牌子上写着‘美好生活’。没有任何迹象表明她不是那样的人。后来听到有人解释这一切突然发生的真正原因，这确实极具冲击力。”
德夫林告诉金，林赛的前夫帕特里克·克兰西充满情感的证词尤其具有影响力。
“我认为检方试图诱导帕特里克说一些贬低她的话，但他没有，”德夫林说。“这非常有冲击力，哪怕时隔这么久，哪怕他失去了三个孩子，他还是说不出任何真正诋毁她的话。”

克兰西的律师凯文·雷丁顿周四提交了一项动议，要求撤销无效审判裁决，并判克兰西无罪。雷丁顿本周早些时候告诉《CBS晨间新闻》，他是在听到几名陪审员表示那位持不同意见者没有严格遵循程序后决定提出这项动议的。
“我会捍卫那个人作为持不同意见者的权利，哪怕是一个月，这就是司法体系的意义所在，”雷丁顿周三告诉《CBS晨间新闻》。“但当陪审团主席明确且毫不含糊地在陪审团问题中表示，这个人存在合理怀疑——正如我们现在所知——却拒绝听取法官关于法律的指示时，我才感到愤怒，因为这正是我之前使用那些表述和术语的原因。这太不对了。”
德夫林表示，尽管她认为克兰西因精神失常无需承担罪责，但她并不赞成驳回此案。她说，正义应该是让克兰西“得到她需要的帮助”，而不是如果雷丁顿的上诉成功就无罪释放。
“我对这项动议的提交感到不安，”她谈到这项专家告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻胜诉希望渺茫的动议时说。“我们之所以想要‘无需承担责任’的裁决，部分原因是每个人都想为孩子们伸张正义。”
“那些孩子从未离开过那间房间，也从未离开过我们的内心。这是为那些孩子伸张正义的方式。如果林赛没有在司法体系中迷失，没有被体系辜负，这一切都不会发生，”她说。
撤销此案的动议将于9月29日在该案此前安排的情况听证会上进行审理。
地区检察官尚未表示是否会重新提起诉讼，而雷丁顿也对涉及克兰西较轻指控的认罪协议表示接受。不过他表示，这取决于地区检察官蒂姆·克鲁兹。
Lindsay Clancy juror says Patrick Clancy’s testimony swayed her decision, reveals more about lone holdout

Paula Devlin, a juror in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, said it was Clancy’s ex-husband’s testimony that might have swayed her the most, while the lone holdout in the jury might have felt attacked and refused to change his vote for that reason.
In an interview with “CBS Mornings” co-host Gayle King on Friday, Devlin said that when they began deliberating, the jurors were more split, with eight saying Clancy was not responsible, two undecided, and two who said guilty of murder.
The jury was made up of nine women and three men. Devlin said the ages ranged from 22 to about 70, and there was only one member who was a minority, a Black male in his 30s who was also the lone holdout.
“I was leaning towards not responsible from all the evidence I had heard,” Devlin told King. “And I had certain things I wanted to look at when we got into deliberation. Everything that we talked about and every point that everybody in the room made just kind of reinforced that more and more.”
Clancy was charged with murdering her three young children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and 8-month-old Callan — at their home in Duxbury, Massachusetts, on Jan. 24, 2023. Her attorneys argued she was not criminally responsible because she was overmedicated and suffering from postpartum psychosis. Prosecutors argued Clancy planned it and knew right from wrong.
The highly publicized trial ended in a mistrial last Friday after the jurors could not come to a unanimous verdict after more than seven days of deliberation.
Several jurors, including Devlin, have said the jury was divided 11 to 1 in favor of finding Clancy not responsible.
She said they spent several days seeing if they could convince the holdout, who believed Clancy should be found guilty of murder, to come to their side, but he would not budge.

“We all worked together. And I don’t know if it was to convince him to start with,” Devlin told King. “We all worked together to convince ourselves once we got to that point where it was 10 to 2. I felt very bad for them because they felt attacked. And there is no way to not do that.”
“Even in normal conversation, when it is pointed at you and you have to defend yourself, it’s a hard thing to do,” she added. “We don’t have to always do that.”
Devlin said two witnesses in particular solidified her decision on the verdict: Dr. Phillip Resnick, a forensic psychiatrist, and Patrick Clancy, Lindsay’s husband at the time of the murders and the one who found the children dead after Lindsay attempted suicide.

“I think Dr. Resnick, his testimony about altruistic filicide was really impactful,” Devlin said, referring to the psychological condition when a parent believes killing their children is best for them. “All throughout the trial, we had all the witnesses, there had been nothing but good said about Lindsay and how amazing of a mother she was, how much she loved her children.”
“We saw that in every picture that was taken in the house on the night that this happened,” she continued. “Everywhere you looked, there was just love. There was a big sign that said, ‘It’s a wonderful life.’ There wasn’t anything that says she wasn’t that. And then to hear somebody talking about a real reason why all of a sudden this could happen, that was really impactful.”
Devlin told King that the emotional testimony of Patrick Clancy, Lindsay’s now ex-husband, was particularly impactful.
“I think the prosecution tried to nudge Patrick to say something derogatory and he wouldn’t,” Devlin said. “And that was very impactful, even after all this time and even after knowing this happened and losing his three children, he still couldn’t say anything really bad about her.”

Clancy’s lawyer, Kevin Reddington, on Thursday filed a motion for the mistrial to be thrown out and for Clancy to be acquitted in the case. Reddington told “CBS Mornings” earlier this week he decided to file the motion after hearing from several jurors about how the holdout was not properly following procedures.
“I would defend that person’s right to be a holdout for a month. That’s what the system is about,” Reddington told “CBS Mornings” on Wednesday. “But when the forelady indicated clearly and unequivocally in the jury question that this person had doubt, reasonable doubt, as we know now, and just refused to listen to the judge’s instruction on the law, that’s when I was upset, because that’s why I used the expressions and the terms I did. It just wasn’t right.”
Devlin said she was not in favor of the case being thrown out even though she thinks Clancy was not guilty by reason of insanity. She said justice would be for Clancy to “get the help she needs,” as opposed to walking free if Reddington’s appeal is successful.
“I don’t feel good about that,” she said about the filing, which experts told CBS News is a long shot. “Part of the reason why we wanted ‘not responsible’ was that everybody wants justice for the children.”
“Those children never left that room. They’ve never left our hearts. And that was a way to get justice for those children. This wouldn’t have happened if Lindsay didn’t get lost in the system and failed by the system,” she said.
The motion to dismiss will be heard on Sept. 29 at a previously scheduled status hearing in the case.
The district attorney has not said whether he plans to refile the case, while Reddington also sounded amenable to a plea deal that would include lesser charges for Clancy. However, he said that it is up to the district attorney, Tim Cruz.
