The desired narrative among those who wanted Lindsay Clancy found not guilty by reason of insanity in regards to the lone holdout juror took a bit of a kick to the you-know-where today during an interview on CBS Mornings.
We found out that the lone juror who some of the other jurors had been claiming hadn't been paying enough attention or accepting the "evidence" they tried to provide him with their "expertise," is somebody who caused a bit of a retreat when it comes to the initial talking points.

Amid all the pro-Clancy madness, it's important to always remember who were the real victims of this crime:
