Inside Lindsay Clancy Hearing: Can Defense "Dream Team" Get Case Thrown Out?
Notes de l’épisode
There were fireworks when Lindsay Clancy returned to court Monday, November 2 – and Investigative reporter Kristin Thorne was inside the courtroom to witness the whole thing as the Commonwealth argued against Clancy's defense, a legal "dream team" made up of high-profile attorneys and prominent experts.
In this episode of Criminally Obsessed, Thorne breaks down with Anne Emerson what she saw when Clancy’s attorney, Kevin Reddington, sparred with the judge, including their clash over the lone holdout juror who stopped 11 others from reaching a verdict. They also discuss the tense fight over scheduling a retrial date and whether the next trial would be first-degree murder or lesser charges, Reddington's push to preserve jury records with the lone juror's attorneys in the gallery, newer defense team member Martin Weinberg's argument that the case should be thrown out on double jeopardy, what Thorne noticed about Lindsay Clancy's demeanor, and what comes next: the judge has not ruled on dismissal, and prosecutors say a retrial is likely if the case proceeds, but have not made a final decision on the charges. The next hearing is scheduled for November 16.
