The rest of the jury sided with the defense, which argued Clancy, 36, was not criminally responsible when she strangled her three children\u2014Cora, 5; Dawson, 3; and Callan, 8 months\u2014in the basement of their Massachusetts home in January 2023, because she was in the throes of postpartum psychosis.<\/p>\n

The holdout agreed with the prosecutors, who argued the murders were premeditated.<\/p>\n

The jury was composed of nine women and three men, with ages ranging from 22 to about 70, Devlin told \u201cCBS Mornings\u201d host Gayle King.<\/p>\n

Devlin added that there was only \u201cperson of color\u201d on the jury and the rest were white.<\/p>\n

King asked her if the \u201cperson of color\u201d was a woman or a man, and Devlin responded that he was a man.<\/p>\n

Slightly flustered, King asked \u201cis the holdout juror a person of\u2014a black man?!<\/p>\n

\u201cYes,\u201d Devlin responded.<\/p>\n

\u201cA black man is the holdout juror?\u201d King asked again.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes,\u201d Devlin again responded.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell! I\u2019ll have to sit with that for just a second,\u201d King said.<\/p>\n

Devlin described the deliberations as tense, with the majority leaning toward \u201cnot responsible\u201d from the start, but the holdout refusing to change his mind. She said the jurors spent several days trying to convince him, but he \u201cwould not budge\u201d and seemed to feel attacked when challenged.<\/p>\n
