Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said he would offer “asylum” to the lone holdout juror of the Lindsay Clancy case if the juror faces harassment after a report disclosed a “history of domestic violence allegations.”
“The holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy trial had a history of domestic violence allegations, the NBC10 Boston Investigators have learned through court documents and interviews with family members. Read the full investigation here,”
NBC10 Boston wrote.
“A man objected to allowing a woman to kill her three young kids and get away with it, so NBC is trying to smear that juror, whose identity should be protected. Another low for legacy media,” DeSantis said.
“If the juror is being harassed, Florida will provide asylum — I’m sure he’d be welcomed and appreciated,” he added.

More from the
New York Post:
NBC10 Boston reported that the juror was accused of attacking his wife in September 2021 and that last year his nephew had taken out a restraining order against him. The man also faces a pending eviction case by his landlord for $12,000 of unpaid rent, the outlet reported.
Court records show that the juror divorced his wife after the alleged incident in 2021 and that the criminal charge against him was dismissed — although his ex-wife said she backed away from pursuing the case because she was worried that testifying could cause her to lose custody of her daughter, the outlet reported.
Juror questionnaires in Massachusetts ask prospective jurors whether they have been arrested, charged with a crime, or been served with a court order — all which should have been answered affirmatively by the holdout juror, NBC10 reported.
NBC10’s report came as others on the Clancy jury spoke about the lone holdout.
Juror Paula Devlin told Gayle King on CBS Mornings on Friday that the holdout juror was a black man — and the only person of color on the panel.
Another juror, Nick Dargie, spoke to ABC News about the holdout’s alleged behavior during deliberations, claiming he was disengaged.
The 11-1 split forced a mistrial in a case that has divided many Americans.
Kevin Reddington, Clancy’s attorney, argued she was not criminally responsible for strangling her three children to death because she was overmedicated and experiencing postpartum psychosis, according to
The Guardian.
Reddington sparked further controversy by pleading for President Trump to
pardon Lindsay Clancy.
