Clancy holdout-juror GiveSendGo tops $100K after nearly $85K Sunday tally
A crowdfunding campaign for the unidentified lone holdout juror in Lindsay Clancy’s triple-murder mistrial blew past six figures on Sunday, Sept. 13, 2026 — after the New York Post reported it had already raised nearly $85,000 earlier in the evening.
The Post said the GiveSendGo titled “Stand With the Juror,” started by Tom Hennessey, had raised $84,750 of a $100,000 goal as of about 8:51 p.m. ET Sunday, earmarked for security, lawyers, and lost work tied to fallout from the hung jury. A check of the same GiveSendGo page later Sunday night showed the campaign at about $100,399 raised against that $100,000 goal.
Clancy, 36, was tried in Plymouth Superior Court for fatally strangling her three children — Cora, 5; Dawson, 3; and Callan, 8 months — at the family’s Duxbury, Mass., home in January 2023. Eleven jurors favored a not-guilty-by-reason-of-insanity outcome; one juror, described in coverage only as a Black man in his 30s, would not join them. Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial after the deadlock. Clancy remains at Tewksbury Hospital; a hearing is set for Sept. 29.
The fundraiser’s pitch frames the holdout as the juror who “looked at what she did, not the brand of Zoloft,” and says the defense tried to remove him for allegedly “not following reasonable doubt” before the judge left him on. Donor comments on the page have treated him as a hero of the hung jury.
That celebration collides with reporting from NBC10 Boston that the same juror faced a September 2021 domestic-assault allegation (later dismissed), has an active restraining order involving a teenage nephew, and has faced eviction pressure over unpaid rent — the same dossier that prompted Gov. Ron DeSantis last week to accuse NBC of a smear and offer the juror Florida “asylum” if he is being harassed. A fellow juror has also alleged the holdout demonstrated strangulation with an exercise band on a water bottle during deliberations.
Crowdfunding does not erase court records, and a mistrial is not an acquittal. What Sunday’s haul does show is how fast a single anonymous juror can become a national cause — and a fundraising brand — while Massachusetts still has to decide whether Clancy faces a retrial.
