Paula Devlin, a juror in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, said it was Clancy's ex-husband's testimony that might have swayed her the most, while the lone holdout in the jury might have felt attacked and refused to change his vote for that reason.

In an interview with "CBS Mornings" co-host Gayle King on Friday, Devlin said that when they began deliberating, the jurors were more split, with eight saying Clancy was not responsible, two undecided, and two who said guilty of murder.

The jury was made up of nine women and three men. Devlin said the ages ranged from 22 to about 70, and there was only one member who was a minority, a Black male in his 30s who was also the lone holdout.

"I was leaning towards not responsible from all the evidence I had heard," Devlin told King. "And I had certain things 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."
