Gayle King’s Shock as Unseen Juror Twist Reveals Unexpected Divide in Lindsay Clancy Trial
Ever get that moment where a detail just stops you dead in your tracks? That’s exactly what happened to Gayle King during a recent CBS Mornings interview, when a juror from the Lindsay Clancy murder trial dropped a bombshell: the lone holdout juror—who pushed to find Clancy guilty of killing her three children—was a Black man. Talk about a curveball that makes you want to pause, breathe, and really unpack the whole scene. With a jury split deeply along not just verdict lines but complex human perspectives, it begs the question—how much does identity shape our judgment in the most harrowing cases? Gayle’s reaction—to steady herself and “sit with” this revelation—captures the gravity and the raw complexity swirling behind legal battles that grip us all. Curious about the evidence that swayed (or didn’t sway) this key juror? There’s a lot more layering this story than headlines reveal. LEARN MORE
King, 71, physically steadied herself and declared she had to “sit with” that detail, wanting to know more about “the evidence that he was opposed to.”
She recalled the jury’s deep divide as deliberations began following 21 days of grueling testimony, sharing, “Eight people were leaning towards not guilty. Two hadn’t decided, and two thought guilty.”
Devlin herself said she was “leaning towards not responsible” by reason of insanity, “from all the evidence I had heard, and I had certain things that I wanted to look at when we got into deliberation.”
“Everything that we talked about and every point that everybody in the room made just kind of reinforced that more and more,” she continued about why she wanted to acquit Clancy for the murders of Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and 7-month-old baby Callen.
Devlin answered, “70-ish to 22, and one person of color, and then everybody else was white,” while noting that “a lot of the jurors had children.”
After King pressed about whether the holdout juror was a person of color, Devlin affirmed, “Yes. A Black man is the holdout juror.”
Clearly taken aback, the longtime host, who is also Black, replied, “Well, I have to sit with that for just a second.”
She closed her eyes for a moment and shook her head before delving back into the interview.
King later pressed Devlin about the man’s age, and she responded, “I would guess in his 30s.”
Devlin said testimony throughout the trial painted Clancy as a devoted mom, recalling, “There had been nothing but good said about Lindsay and how amazing of a mother she was and how much she loved her children.”
She noted that even Clancy’s now-ex-husband, Patrick, offered no damning testimony about her parenting.
“We saw that in every picture that was taken of the house on the night that this happened. Everywhere you look, there was just love,” Devlin added.
Devin shared that the topic was discussed in great detail and was one of the “main points” that caused the holdout juror to stick to his guns and find Clancy guilty of murdering her children.
“I think that was one of the things that the holdout juror really – that was one of his main points. He couldn’t wrap his head around that,” she explained about Clancy’s apparent coherency during the killings.
