Michelle :
She’s innocent. Reddington’s strategy: He originally asked for a bifurcated trial—two phases: first, whether the prosecution could prove Lindsay committed the acts & whether she was criminally responsible given her mental state. The judge denied it, saying the evidence overlaps too much to separate. Because of that, Reddington’s strategy has essentially been to focus on criminal responsibility/insanity rather than simply arguing “Lindsay didn’t do it.” That doesn’t mean he believes she did it. It means he’s pursuing what gives her the safest legal outcome: the jury could find her not guilty or not criminally responsible because of her mental illness. He also cannot just flat out blame Patrick. Reddington agreed in filings not to pursue a third-party culprit defense, so he can’t simply argue that Patrick did it. The investigation focused so heavily on Lindsay that it’s difficult to build an alternative culprit case this late; much evidence is unavailable or untestable (house sold, kids cremated, new phone). That’s why I think people are missing the bigger picture when they say, “She confessed, so case closed.” Her statements have to be considered in the context of her mental state, head injury, medication & mental illness. Much of what she said was inconsistent with the physical evidence, & the prosecution’s own witness said she didn’t know what happened when she woke up & had to be told. (claimed she cut the window screen, but it was never cut) The defense has exposed problems with the investigation & evidence that was lost or impossible to test by the time Reddington became involved. The judge declined to give the jury the Bowden instruction about those issues because it goes against his agreement to avoid “third-party culprit.” (But now reasonable doubt) And then there’s the civil lawsuit alleging medical professionals failed her, so the defense must be careful how they characterize what happened. Bottom line: you can’t take Reddington’s current strategy & automatically interpret it as “he believes Lindsay did it.” He’s working within the case’s limitations & rulings while trying to give Lindsay the best path to avoid a murder conviction.

the looks and smirks they have been giving each other the entire trial have been absolutely disgusting and incredibly unprofessional.

NopeDope :
Do you think Reddington asked for the Bowden instruction so late knowing it would be denied (since the prosecution can't address it in their case now), so he could go hard on the investigation in his closing?

I think the closing arguments will be iffy. Reddington is shortening his statement down to 30 mins, while the prosecution wants to monologue for an hour... I don't think the jury will be fond of that. But the long winded statements/questions from the prosecution seem to be their way to confuse people into maybe agreeing with them

fitstylegrace :
I was shocked the judge denied the Bowden motion and think that is reversible error. If there was ever a case where a Bowden instruction is warranted, it's this one. Curious if you agree? I can't picture an appellate court letting that stand.

You would be an excellent lecturer. Criminal justice TCU alum here and your tiktoks feel like my favorite classes all over again. 😂

I wish Red had gone deeper in closing, especially knowing the prosecution was going to belabor every detail of the timeline. It just felt too light. 🤞

And why they didn’t do those investigations is because Patrick said she did it 🤷🏻♀️

yaychristy :
Doesn’t asking for Bowden kind of contradict the stipulation of fact re: evidence that was entered earlier?

Why did he say no? This is so rigged. I hope this jury has neurodivergent thinkers.

Is it possible for Reddington to bring in a rebuttal with another witness? Surrebuttal?

Can you explain in layman’s what the jury’s instructions will be based on the charge meeting and if that changes the original expected outcomes (NGRI?)?
