Will Lindsay Clancy Be Tried Again?
Notas del episodio
A hung jury. Courtroom drama. Wild online conspiracy theories. We NEED to talk about the Lindsay Clancy case. Should she be tried again for murder, and could she even get a fair retrial when the whole country has an opinion? With a long-shot double jeopardy motion on the table, the legal questions are getting buried under the online chatter. Public defender turned legal commentator Eliza Orlins and criminal law professor Thea Johnson break down what’s happening with the holdout juror, whether Kevin Reddington can really talk to Judge Sullivan like that, and why they don’t buy the online theories about Patrick Clancy. Plus: what they’d do in Reddington’s shoes and their legal predictions for what comes next.
