Have you ever been on a criminal jury? I have, and I understand what happened here perfectly.
I'm quite sure the first vote (if they did that, it's not a requirement) wasn't 11-1.
There was a coalition of jurors who should have been excluded during voire dire, but weren't because the prosecutor was too dim to grasp that there was a feminist argument for "not guilty".
That group, maybe 3 or 4, wore down most of the others during deliberations, women who were susceptible to feminist praxis and two weak men. The more they deliberated, the more the living paralyzed "Mom" who the jury met in the courtroom every day (but who wisely did not testify) came to the front of mind, and the more the murdered children receded.
The genius of twelve was never more clearly shown than in this event.
In this case, the one man who wasn't absorbed into the Boston-area feminist hive mind "he just didn't GET IT", saw his service to the dead children as foremost, and proved (again) the wisdom of the jury system at its best.
My one criminal case was a re-trial of a convicted armed robber who was granted a retrial on the basis of ineffective assistance of counsel (which of course we were not allowed to know when we deliberated). That outcome, retrial for ineffective assistance, is very, very rare as we later found out. Our first vote was 10-2 "not guilty", and it took quite a while for us to reach a verdict (that's a whole other story).
Lindsay Clancy's defense was brilliant, obviously not having her testify was key, the law that the jury was instructed on is unusual (MA is the only state where the State has to DISPROVE insanity), and the prosecutor didn't do a very good job - as in most single-party states, jobs like that are given to hacks.

Juror Michael Desronvil went public days after he was doxxed by Boston-area legacy media and nationwide social media. Desronvil spoke out on “Fugitive TV,” a noteworthy Black podcast. Host Ray Marcel stated that Desronvil was “very well spoken, very nice, very kind.” A Catholic, Desronvil is a registered Republican.
No wonder the radical feminist jurors lost their minds. (“Christ spent forty days in the desert. Desronvil spent 40 hours w/ a bunch of hags.”)
Desronvil responded to those who misrepresented his stance during the trial, as they sap-happily broke the law and encouraged individuals to track him down and expose him to ridicule and harassment.
The astute Desronvil viewed the female jurors as “activists” who “wanted Lindsay Clancy found not guilty from Day 1.
None were interested in hearing his objective insights into the evidence, instead the feminist hags resorted to badgering and nagging him.
“I’m quite sure the first vote (if they did that, it’s not a requirement) wasn’t 11-1.”
I believe he said that the initial vote was 8-4 in LC’s favor.
