The holdout juror who sparked a mistrial in the Lindsay Clancy murder case did not allow his Catholic faith to override his judgment that the former nurse was guilty of murder, his brother revealed to The Post — as he said the family’s life has been turned upside down.
“I don’t think religion had anything to do with it,” the brother said, disputing claims online.
The bombshell Clancy trial turned national attention to the juror, whom The Post is choosing not to name — with some labeling him a hero for refusing to find Clancy not guilty, and other jurors claiming he refused to follow the judge’s instructions about “reasonable doubt.”

The brother also said that the devoutly Catholic Haitian immigrant clan has been relentlessly hounded by true-crime gawkers and reporters since the juror refused to agree with the 11 others and find Clancy not guilty of murder by reason of insanity after she killed her three kids.
“My family cannot leave the house,” the brother said.
“They are leaving notes at my mother’s house. They won’t leave us alone and we don’t know anything,” he added.
“People have been calling me like crazy. It’s crazy.”
None of the family had any idea the last week of mayhem that was headed for them after the case ended in an explosive mistrial on Sept. 4 — the juror didn’t tell any of them he was serving on the headline-making case.
“We didn’t know. That’s why I was shocked,” the brother said. “He didn’t tell us anything.”

This is more than a shame, it is a travesty. It is hard enough to find jurors without them knowing their decision can bring this type of attention to them.

By law, he should be. And I hope he is.
