(LifeSiteNews) — Jurors in the Lindsay Clancy trial have begun to speak out, revealing that there was a strong majority bias toward overlooking the heinous nature of Clancy’s crime from the outset. 

Three female jurors who spoke with NBC10 were highly critical of the lone male juror who refused to be swayed by their empathy for Clancy rather than for the three young children she systematically murdered by strangulation.

“He would not interact with us,” one of the jurors recounted. “He had the hardest time getting off the fact that Lindsay viciously killed her children.”

The jury foreperson said she was initially excited that the holdout juror acknowledged reasonable doubt.  

“I started filling out the forms, I was so excited. There were three forms I had to fill out, and I started filling them out. I wrote my signature on each one,” the foreperson said.

“And then he said, ‘But I’m still not going to say that she’s not guilty by reason of insanity.’” 

Another female juror complained, “He was very arrogant.” 

Online commentators were quick to pick apart the female jurors’ assertions and apparent lack of reasoning capabilities, going so far as to dismissively refer to the trio as “Karen jurors.”

“Dumb hideous women swooning over the lawyer and excusing the murder of three children,” The Daily Wire podcast host Matt Walsh said. “Every possible stereotype confirmed by these idiotic wenches.” 

“Emotionally volatile, sanctimonious white liberal women with 80-ish IQs are a much bigger threat to our civilization than Iran or Russia,” conservative author and show host Buck Sexton claimed. 

“It’s amazing that these jurors not only fit every old white lib woman stereotype the internet assumed about them but somehow managed to be exponentially worse,” conservative commentator Greg Price said. 

“I’ve been a jury foreman. I guess the rules aren’t all in writing, but I thought jurors can deliberate and converse, even try to persuade, but in the end shouldn’t bully or demean a juror because of his opinion,” investigative journalist Sharyl Attkinson said.  “If his opinion didn’t matter — if he was just supposed to ‘go along’ — then the system wouldn’t be designed the way it is.”

“There is something of a major bombshell in that interview that the Karen jurors were too stupid to understand while they were bragging about themselves and trashing the holdout,” The Federalist CEO and co-founder Sean Davis noted.  

“One of the jurors admits that multiple nurses on the jury used their experience and medical background to ‘explain’ toxicology reports to the holdout juror,” Davis continued. “I showed that clip to a trial attorney who immediately saw it as an admission that the pro-Clancy jurors were using outside information and evidence from outside the trial process to bully a juror toward a particular outcome.”

A fourth female juror indicated that she had essentially been worn down if not bullied by the stronger personalities on the jury and eventually changed her vote from “guilty” to “not guilty.” 

“The majority of the room was trying to sway (the lone male holdout) from the beginning,” she said. 

“Originally, I felt as though she was guilty and she was criminally responsible for it.”

“WOW. Female juror in the Lindsay Clancy trial says the angry pack of Karens in that room bullied her into changing her vote from guilty to not guilty,” online commentator Gina Milan wrote on X. 

“Absolutely insane,” she added. 

“The Clancy case jurors are making quite a mistake speaking out publicly on what went on in the jury room,” Princeton University law professor Robert P. George commented on Facebook. “Their efforts to make the lone holdout look bad are backfiring.”

“They would have done themselves a service by simply saying nothing. I’m not at all sure what they thought they had to gain by speaking out,” George said. 

“What they’re doing undermines the whole jury system,” Catholic professor Anthony Esolen suggested. “It helps to ensure that honest debate will not go on. And besides, it too is dishonorable and contemptible, a form of tale-bearing, and with it comes the sense that they still do not feel the enormity of this case, regardless of the rightness or wrongness of their decision.”

“They sound like the Manson girls: Smiling flower children with their knives out,” remarked Francis Beckwith, professor of philosophy and church-state studies at Baylor University.
