Juror Exposed Shakes Trial System | Portland Maine News

A judge has slapped a permanent freeze on the jury list for the Clancy case after a juror’s identity — believed to be the only Black man on the panel who voted against acquittal by reason of insanity — was leaked online by social media personality Turtleboy. The leak, which exposed the juror’s past domestic violence charges, threatens the secrecy essential to jury deliberations and could deter future jurors from serving. With the original trial ending in a mistrial and a retrial looming, Clancy may seek a bench trial instead. Legal experts debate whether media figures should face liability, as lawmakers consider whether new laws are needed to protect jurors’ privacy in high-profile cases.
