The holdout in Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial told the room he didn’t know whether the prosecution or the defense had proved their case. Under the instructions Judge Sullivan read that jury, the defense had no burden to prove anything.
Nick Dargie, a 25-year-old military veteran and the most recent juror to speak publicly, said the holdout couldn’t point to any evidence supporting his position and scrolled his phone while other jurors deliberated. He described the holdout pulling an exercise band from the evidence bag, tying it around a water bottle, and pulling it tight — an apparent reenactment Dargie called disgusting.
The foreperson signed three verdict forms after the holdout admitted reasonable doubt. He reversed himself in the same breath. The jury split 11-1 after about 38 hours of deliberation.
Reddington has filed a motion asking the court to enter an acquittal. Cruz has not announced whether he’ll retry. A hearing is set for September 29.

JP Miller timeline — Mica Miller met the man who would become her husband when she was a teenager at his youth ministry in Myrtle Beach. Netflix's Death of the Pastor's Wife exposed the timeline.
JP led youth worship at Solid Rock Church. Mica was among his congregants. He was fifteen years her senior. When she married her first husband, Jeremy, JP officiated. After that marriage ended, Mica worked for JP. In 2015, when she was twenty and JP was thirty-five, he confessed from his pulpit to "a moral failing." Both marriages ended. JP set the terms. They married in November 2017.
Mica died at Lumber River State Park on April 27, 2024, at thirty. JP faces federal trial in October 2026 on cyberstalking and false statements charges.
Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down the methodology.

JP Miller true crime — the former Solid Rock Church pastor from Netflix's Death of the Pastor's Wife faces federal charges for allegedly cyberstalking Mica Miller and lying to the FBI. Trial is set for October 2026.
The indictment alleges Miller used GPS surveillance, deployed a tire deflation device, and made over fifty calls to Mica in one day. Prosecutors also allege he posted an intimate image without consent.
Miller told investigators he hired a PI to prevent Mica from buying firearms. The government says that was a lie.
Mica died on April 27, 2024, at Lumber River State Park. She had reported harassment to local police. The case stalled until the Robeson County Sheriff's Office requested FBI involvement.
Miller pleaded not guilty and posted $100,000 bond.
Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer analyzes the federal case.

A mistrial usually resets a case. Lindsay Clancy’s left prosecutors with a reported 11-1 split and a public statement from DA Tim Cruz defending the theory jurors could not unanimously accept. Cruz described the deaths as the “cruel and calculated killing of three innocents” and said the evidence suggested to his office that Clancy was in control. 
Judge William Sullivan declared the mistrial September 4 after jurors deliberated for more than 38 hours across seven days. Kevin Reddington says eleven jurors favored acquittal. That figure comes from the defense, and no verdict was returned. The underlying legal divide remains the same: the defense attributed Clancy’s actions to postpartum psychosis and lack of criminal responsibility, while the prosecution argued she understood the wrongfulness of her conduct and could choose differently. 
Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski with experience on both sides of a criminal courtroom. He examines how prosecutors evaluate a failed first trial, what juror feedback can reveal, when expert testimony needs rebuilding, and how a district attorney weighs retrial against a plea or another resolution. Cruz has authority to try the case again. The first jury still gave his office a result it has to evaluate before choosing that path. 
Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examines the social fallout that followed the same trial. She focuses on the fear underneath the public argument over postpartum psychosis and why people reach for labels that create distance from severe mental illness. Scott also considers what the public spectacle may communicate to mothers who are afraid to disclose disturbing symptoms. 
Patrick Clancy’s attorney has said another trial would be extraordinarily painful for him and his family. Cruz has not announced his decision. Both sides are scheduled to return to court September 29, where the legal consequences of the mistrial begin taking shape.

The Lindsay Clancy holdout controversy centers on what the jury foreperson allegedly reported to the court, not simply on a juror voting differently. Kevin Reddington said the foreperson identified one juror who acknowledged doubt but would not apply Judge William Sullivan’s instruction on reasonable doubt. 
That distinction mattered because jurors are allowed to disagree, including as a minority of one. Sullivan questioned jurors about their ability to follow the law and repeated the legal standard, but he declined Reddington’s request to remove the holdout. Seven days and more than 38 hours of deliberations ended with a September 4 mistrial. 
The legal fallout did not stay inside Plymouth Superior Court. On September 8, Howard Cooper, attorney for Patrick Clancy, said online creators had spread false claims accusing Patrick of involvement in the deaths of his children. Cooper warned that appropriate legal measures would be pursued and said law enforcement had been notified. 
Robin Dreeke, former FBI counterintelligence behavioral expert, joins Tony Brueski to separate the observable group dynamics from speculation about what a single juror believed. Eric Faddis, defense attorney and former felony prosecutor, explains why judges protect the secrecy and independence of deliberations even when other jurors report a problem. 
Faddis then turns to the accusations involving Patrick and the legal exposure that can arise when commentary makes provably false factual claims about an identifiable person. The combined discussion follows two lines courts guard carefully: the independence of a juror and the boundary between protected speech and actionable defamation. Lindsay Clancy’s next scheduled court date is September 29 while prosecutors consider whether to retry the case.
