On Friday, NBC10 Boston, a local affiliate owned by NBCUniversal, doxed the lone holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy trial as part of concerted smear campaign, which could intimidate future jurors in a possible retrial. Putting out enough information about him that a deranged individual could hunt him down, NBC’s national broadcast gave the story a signal boost during Saturday’s Today show. The network has a noted history of trying to exposed jurors in highly contentious trials.
Even though the charges were dismissed, far-left NBC10 Boston journalist Ryan Kath authored “Domestic violence allegations raise questions about holdout juror in Lindsay Clancy trial.”
“Court documents and interviews with family members reveal a history of domestic violence allegations. We discovered a pending eviction case tied to months of not paying rent,” Kath wrote, ignoring how those things didn’t bar him from being a juror. “The NBC10 Boston Investigators also found an active restraining order against him, while he was listening to evidence in the case.”
Kath, a liberal white man, would not have gone through this effort if the lone holdout, a black man, didn’t get out of line. He also made plenty sure to include his ex-wife calling him “evil” a bunch of times.
“This NBC 10 Boston Report is insane, as it essentially only censors the name and address, while all the other details on the docket are there and very likely are easily searchable,” NewsBusters analyst Nick Spinnato noted on X. “They didn’t even censor his birthday.”
Just noticed…. They didn’t even censor his birthday………………

Additionally, NBC10’s Sue O’Connell, who pompously describes herself on X as “a journalist who is a COMMENTATOR” but “not a reporter” (emphasis hers), was hostile and combative in defending her and Kathy’s doxxing of the juror:
How many of you anonymous, death-threat-slinging, trash-talking primates—the ones attacking the Lindsay Clancy jurors and everyone else who actually showed up — can turn that vitriol into political action and change the laws, and the way our justice system works?
Right. That's what I thought.

“Every day, people send me tips…about people, about topics, suggestions for investigations. Some of you @ me right here on X. Most of the time, after some digging, the tip goes nowhere (…) But every now and then, they lead to something real and immediate,” she indignantly argued. “So why the surprise when, after careful vetting, deep investigation, patience, some good old-fashioned door-knocking, court visits, and shoe leather…one of them becomes a story?”

Our friend and MRC Bulldog Award winner Stephen Miller dug into O’Connell’s liberal activist past that she so proudly posted on X. “The lessons learned from the pandemic, #metoo, Black Lives Matter, climate change activism, and efforts to reduce gun deaths will inform and enrich our lives, our communities, and society,” she wrote. “Our descendants will judge us, as we have judged our ancestors.”

NBC didn’t have an issue with an apparent BLM activist getting on the jury in the trial against Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd.
Inappropriately exposing jurors in major, contentious trials seems to be part of NBC’s standard operating procedure.
In 2021, NBC and then-MSNBC were banned from the Kyle Rittenhouse trial after a producer was caught stalking jurors back to the homes.
“Last evening, a person who identified himself as James J. Morrison, and who claimed that he was a producing with NBC News and played for MSNBC, and under the supervision of a person…named Irene Byon in New York for MSNBC,” Judge Schroeder reported in the courtroom at the time.
The networks were subsequently banned because they couldn’t be trusted to be around the jury:
He's not here today from what I'm told, and I have instructed that no one from MSNBC news will be permitted in this building for the duration of this trial. This is a very serious matter and I don’t know what the ultimate truth is, but absolutely it would go without much thinking that someone who’s following the jury bus, that is a very – that’s extremely serious matter and it will be referred to the proper authorities for further action.
Later that evening, when reporting updates on the trial, NBC Nightly News failed to disclose to viewers they were banned from the courthouse and why.
NBC doesn’t know how to act appropriately around those involved in high-profile legal proceedings. In 2019, during the height off the Russia Collusion probe, then-MSNBC proudly boasted that they ambushed Special Counsel Robert Mueller as he was leaving church with his family on Easter Sunday.
Being that NBC10 Boston was owned and operated by NBCUniversal, the Federal Communications Commission could chose to open a probe into the network.
