As of 5:30 p.m. ET on Thursday, September 3rd, there is still no verdict in the Lindsay Clancy trial, but today produced some major developments. The biggest development was an apparent dispute involving one juror. After roughly 35 hours of deliberations over six days, Judge William Sullivan brought jurors in individually and spoke with them at sidebar.
The reason became clearer afterward: according to defense attorney Kevin Reddington, the jury foreperson had reported that one juror was refusing to follow the judge’s instructions concerning reasonable doubt.
Crime Junkie breaking news reporter Briana Whitney recaps day six of the jury deliberations in the Lindsay Clancy case and sat down with Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell to break down what happened today and what can happen next.
They discuss just how exceptional the events that happened in this case today are, the possibility of the upcoming inquiry on September 4th at 9 A.M. being in open court, the caution required moving forward in this case now that we know how the jury is split, and what potentially removing a juror at this point in deliberations could mean for the trial.
They also discuss the importance of exploring exactly what the one juror in question said. Do they believe there is proof beyond a reasonable doubt? Do they truly disagree with the eleven other jurors? Or is this juror truly unwilling to follow the law? -------- Follow Crime Junkie: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crimejunkiepodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CrimeJunkiePodcast/ Crime Junkie is created and hosted by Ashley Flowers.
