DeSantis offers Florida ‘asylum’ to Clancy trial holdout juror

TALLAHASSEE / BOSTON — Ron DeSantis offered “asylum” in Florida to the unidentified holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy triple-murder mistrial — after local media reported the juror once faced a dismissed domestic-violence charge and sits under a restraining order. The governor called the coverage a smear campaign. The civic market now gets a tradeable ticker for that fight.

According to the Guardian’s account of the case, 11 of 12 jurors were prepared to find Clancy not guilty by lack of criminal responsibility after arguments of overmedication and postpartum psychosis. The lone holdout refused to join that path. After the mistrial, other jurors described the holdout in public interviews; NBC10 Boston reported the 2021 allegation (later dismissed). DeSantis posted that if the juror is harassed, Florida will provide asylum — and accused legacy media of punishing a man who “objected to allowing a woman to kill her three young kids and get away with it.”
