This shift could complicate Clancy's potential appeal, as it indicates the juror was open to changing his mind based on evidence, not just stubbornly adhering to his initial stance. The juror's initial hesitation stemmed from doubts about Clancy's claim of a psychotic break during the incident where she killed her three children and attempted suicide.
