The Judge DEMANDS Lindsay Clancy Jury Keep Deliberating and Refuses to Dismiss One Holdout
What was discussed
Juror holdout note details revealed0:20
- Megyn Kellyassertion
The jury foreperson's note indicates one juror is refusing to follow the judge's instructions on reasonable doubt.
- Kevin Reddingtonassertion
The holdout juror made a false statement under oath by refusing to apply the law on reasonable doubt.
- Prosecutionassertion
The note indicates a disagreement about how to weigh evidence, not an inability to deliberate or follow the law.
- Judge Sullivanassertion
The note does not indicate the juror refused to follow the law, and all jurors affirmed they could follow instructions.
Judge refuses to dismiss holdout juror14:13
- Judge Sullivanassertion
He will not conduct further inquiry or remove the juror because there is no showing of a personal problem unrelated to the case.
- Kevin Reddingtonassertion
The judge is glossing over the issue and should forcefully re-instruct the jury on proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
Defense counsel accused of juror intimidation28:39
- Jonna Spilboropinion
Reddington's accusation is juror intimidation and an outrageous thing to say about a citizen doing his civic duty.
- Matt Murphyopinion
Reddington pushes too far and is irresponsible for accusing a juror of a crime in open court.
- Phil Hollowayopinion
Reddington knows how to play for the camera, and this is part of his strategy, though it won't change the jury room dynamics.
Potential mistrial and plea negotiations6:56
- Matt Murphyspeculation
If the juror holds out, the judge will likely declare a mistrial because he cannot order deliberations to continue a third time.
- Phil Hollowayopinion
The DA should consider accepting an 11-person verdict to send Clancy to the mental health system rather than retrying the case.
- Jonna Spilboropinion
The DA faces pressure from both sides but should negotiate a middle ground to avoid another trial.
Insanity defense and public precedent concerns47:58
- Jonna Spilboropinion
She fears a verdict could lead women to mistakenly believe postpartum depression gives them license to kill their children.
- Matt Murphyassertion
The legal standard requires proving the defendant didn't understand right from wrong or couldn't conform her actions to the law.
- Phil Hollowayspeculation
If institutionalized, Clancy would likely be held for a long time, similar to John Hinckley, due to the high-profile nature of the crime.
Verdict timing predictions51:51
- Phil Hollowayspeculation
A verdict will likely come after the noon hour, as the jury will get lunch first.
- Megyn Kellyassertion
There is zero chance the jury wants deliberations to go into the Labor Day weekend.
