Kellie Farina’s frustration was palpable, her disdain still fresh as she described her unyielding fellow juror. Farina said the man just didn’t get it. Despite all of the evidence (the toxicology report, the “expert” testimony, the “entertaining” defense attorney), he refused to join the 11 jury members who had long before agreed that Lindsay Clancy was not guilty of murdering her three young children.
The 11 angry men and women on the jury agreed that Clancy was legally insane when she used exercise bands to strangle to death Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months — one by one in the Clancy basement. She then attempted to take her own life. But after 40 hours of deliberations, the holdout wouldn’t budge.
“We read to him on numerous occasions the definition of reasonable doubt from Judge (William) Sullivan’s instruction,” an exasperated Farina told Boston’s NBC 10 this week in an exclusive interview. “He actually said one day in the end, ‘Why don’t we have the judge come in and read it again?’ And we were like, ‘No, we have it in front of us.’”
Farina, a senior center chef, flirted with the term “rogue” in describing the unidentified juror. She spoke of how her 10 compatriots would get up during the “hours of frustration” and walk the room “because you couldn’t sit any more.” She said they would inevitably end up at the cart that held the trial exhibits.
“He was very arrogant. He really did not take anything that anybody said,” juror Paula Devlin said, aggravated that the intransigent man wouldn’t listen to the nurses on the jury, the “experts” in her mind.
“We had the toxicology report. We could see exactly the amount. The nurses in the room … spoke to that very thing,” Devlin, who works for a defense contractor, told the news outlet, referring to the prescription medicine that, the defense argued, combined to drive Clancy into a state of postpartum psychosis. “And he just completely disregarded the information that they gave him.”
As I watched the women vent their frustrations about a man who couldn’t bring himself to find a mother who murdered her children not guilty by reason of insanity, I flashed back to another time when “progressive” women served as dutiful soldiers for the cult of “experts.”
The Covid Cult
“Science, science, and science. Only listen to the scientists,” then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., demanded at a press conference during the fear-fueled early days of the pandemic.
The clip is part of a video montage titled, “Mass Psychosis”: Trust Science & Stop Thinking for Yourself. It’s produced by Grabien (the “news clip factory”), and it’s Volume 6 in the news outlet’s Covid Retrospective Series. The video features scores of clips from the so-called “experts” who demanded we “trust the experts.”
And there was no bigger “expert” than little Anthony Fauci, the patron saint of the Covid cult.
“Now is the time is do what you’re told,” the disgraced former “Covid Czar” said in an interview.
What we were told over and over again was, “How dare you doubt us. How dare you think for yourself.” What we have since learned is that the “experts” were dead wrong about a lot of things. Fauci, who fell in love with the camera and had a torrid affair with his massive ego, repeatedly lied to Americans and made life miserable for them for a long time.
His foot soldiers led the badgering and bullying to force back into line the heathens who refused to “follow the science.”
“When I see somebody out in the world who’s not wearing a mask, I instantly think, ‘You are a threat. Or you are selfish. Or you are a Covid denier and you definitely haven’t been vaccinated,” rabid leftist Rachel Maddow scolded on the old MSNBC.
‘Big Personalities’
I suspect the three shrews on the Clancy trial jury were mask and vax extremists. They certainly thought they knew better than the holdout juror with misgivings about letting Clancy off the hook.
A fourth juror told Boston CBS affiliate WBZ-TV that the jurors in the not-guilty camp held their position from the beginning. They seemed to have bullied their way through deliberations, looking to crush opposition.
“So, I’m going to kind of defend that individual [the dissenting juror] in a sense,” the woman, who asked to remain anonymous, told the local news outlet. “There were some big personalities in that room. But at the end of the day, it just came down to an inability to move past your convictions.”
Roni Carlson, jury forewoman, told the local NBC affiliate that managing the deliberations was harder than teaching 5th grade. The retired teacher, who looks and sounds a little like a female Fauci, huffed that the holdout juror admitted that he had reasonable doubt about the prosecution’s case.
Carlson said she was “so excited” that she began filling out the verdict forms, believing that all 12 jurors were on the same page.
“I wrote my signature on each one, and then he said, ‘But I’m still not going to say that she’s not guilty by reason of insanity,’” Carlson told the Boston station. She added that she was “so sad” that the jury “couldn’t come up with a verdict for Lindsay.”
The miffed majority sent a message to the judge telling him that the maverick juror wasn’t following the court’s legal instructions.
Perhaps, but it seems he was following his conscience.
Just like Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, Dr. Sunetra Gupta, and Dr. Martin Kulldorff, who questioned Fauci’s “science” and paid a price. All the people who spoke up against the lockdowns, the upending of education, the rapid distribution and mandated injections of a suspect vaccine. They were censored by the four-headed monster — Big Tech, corporate media, academia, and their own government.
Yet, they persisted. They held their ground. They did so because they knew what was at stake. They knew right from wrong. Time has vindicated them.
As the old saying goes, The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. The holdout in the Clancy case did something. He stopped a runaway jury from giving a 36-year-old filicidal mother of three a get-out-of-jail-free card. He stood up for those three innocent little children by not riding along on the not-guilty bus.
Farina sounded appalled that the holdout juror couldn’t put aside the three murdered children and just follow the science.
“[H]e had the hardest time getting off the fact that Lindsay viciously killed her children,” the juror said.
Thank God he did.
Yes, the 11 are frustrated with the one. The judge was forced to declare a mistrial. A throng of pink shirt-clad Lindsay Clancy fangirls have been forced to cry into their TikTok accounts.
But for now at least justice hasn’t died with the three little children Lindsay Clancy strangled to death.
