NBC went to this man’s house.
Now Ron DeSantis is offering him a way out.
And Ron DeSantis made the Lindsay Clancy trial holdout juror one offer that sent the Fake News Media into a rage.
The Man Who Stood Between Three Dead Children and a Verdict
One juror in the Lindsay Clancy trial said no.
Eleven others wanted to send her home – not guilty by reason of insanity, despite the fact that she strangled five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson, and eight-month-old Callan with exercise bands in their Duxbury, Massachusetts home in 2023.
One man – a black man, as Gayle King pointedly noted on CBS before pausing to “sit with that for a second” – looked at the evidence and refused.

He refused even after the foreperson called him “arrogant.”
He refused even after fellow jurors went on national television to shame him.
He refused after seven weeks of trial, 38 hours of deliberations, and three deadlocks.
Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial on September 4th.
Then NBC Boston declared war on the juror.
NBC Went to the Man’s Home While His Name Was Still Sealed
The jury list in the Clancy trial was impounded by Judge Sullivan – sealed, on the record, over documented safety concerns.
That didn’t stop NBC10 Boston.
The outlet’s reporters went to the juror’s home, spoke to family members, contacted his ex-wife, called his landlord, and combed through court records – all to publish a story about a man who has not spoken publicly, whose name remains legally protected, and whose only offense was refusing to acquit a woman who killed her children.
What they found: a domestic violence charge from 2021, later dismissed after his ex-wife declined to testify.
A restraining order from a teenage nephew.
An eviction dispute over $12,000 in unpaid rent.
None of it disqualifies a juror under Massachusetts law.
None of it had anything to do with Lindsay Clancy’s guilt or innocence.
But NBC ran it anyway, under the headline “domestic violence allegations raise questions about holdout juror in Lindsay Clancy trial” – and then NBC’s national Today show amplified it to the entire country.
Ron DeSantis didn’t wait long.
“A man objected to allowing a woman to kill her three young kids and get away with it, so NBC is trying to smear that juror, whose identity should be protected,” he wrote on X. “If the juror is being harassed, Florida will provide asylum – I’m sure he’d be welcomed and appreciated.”
What NBC Just Did May Be a Felony
Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 268, Section 13B – the state’s juror intimidation statute – criminalizes willfully misleading, intimidating, or harassing a juror, or any family member of a juror, with penalties up to ten years in state prison.
Showing up at a man’s home, interviewing his relatives, and publishing a national smear campaign designed to pressure him – while a retrial remains possible and while the jury list is still court-sealed – is not journalism.
It is a roadmap for anyone who wants to find him.
Attorney Andrew Kloster told the Daily Caller it plainly: “This just looks like the expected smear campaign against a juror who was exercising his rights.”
The defense attorney’s own wife joined the pile-on, leading the social media campaign to destroy the juror’s credibility.
NBC Boston’s own commentator Sue O’Connell responded to critics by calling them “anonymous, death-threat-slinging, trash-talking primates.”
That is the face of legacy media in 2026 – and they wonder why nobody trusts them.
What This Means for Every Future Juror in America
This is not really about Lindsay Clancy.
It is about whether any American juror can ever again vote their conscience without a national news organization showing up at their front door.
The message NBC just sent to every jury pool in the country: vote the way the media wants, or we will find you, go through your past, talk to your family, and publish everything we find – before your name is even legally public.

That is a press corps acting as enforcement muscle for verdicts it prefers.
One man stood alone against eleven, against a defense team, against the national media narrative, and against a mob that had already decided Clancy deserved to walk.
He held.
Ron DeSantis told him Florida has his back.
The question now is whether Massachusetts prosecutors have the spine to investigate the outlet that showed up at a sealed juror’s house and handed his address to the internet.
