@drkathynickerson: The jury has gone home for the weekend without reaching a verdict in the Lindsay Clancy case, and based on my experience, the longer jury deliberations go on, the more I think we are headed toward a mistrial. A mistrial could be very difficult for Lindsay and her family for several reasons. First, putting on a defense like this is extraordinarily expensive. Expert witnesses, attorneys, preparation, records review, and weeks of trial can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. That raises a much bigger concern about fairness in our justice system. Very few families can afford a defense of this magnitude, and access to resources can dramatically affect someone’s ability to mount a comprehensive defense. Second, if there is a mistrial and the DA chooses to retry the case, the prosecution gets an enormous advantage: they have now seen the entire defense. They know which witnesses were persuasive, where their own case was vulnerable, what arguments the defense emphasized, and what they might want to do differently next time. They could potentially come back with a much more formidable case. None of this means we know the jury is deadlocked. We don’t know what’s happening in that room. But as the deliberations continue, I become increasingly curious about whether there is a fundamental disagreement among these jurors that they simply cannot resolve. What do you think is happening in that jury room? Are they carefully working toward a verdict, or are we headed toward a mistrial? #LindsayClancy #LindsayClancyTrial #LindsayClancyCase #CourtTV #lindsayclancystory
