@truecrimewithari: UPDATE ON THE LINDSAY CLANCY CASE! MORE DEFENSE REQUESTS DENIED! On October 21, Judge William Sullivan denied Lindsay Clancy’s defense team’s request for an evidentiary hearing concerning allegations involving the lone holdout juror. This follows an earlier ruling against the defense. Here’s exactly what was denied. October 1: The judge denied the defense’s renewed motion for a required finding of not guilty. Attorney Kevin Reddington argued that prosecutors had not presented legally sufficient evidence to establish Lindsay’s guilt or criminal responsibility. The judge disagreed, allowing the case to remain unresolved rather than entering an acquittal. October 21: The judge denied the defense’s request for an evidentiary hearing to investigate holdout juror Michael Desronvil. As part of that effort, the defense sought access to his confidential jury questionnaire, an independent examination of his cellphone over allegations of improper use during deliberations, and further questioning about his honesty during jury selection and whether he followed the judge’s instructions. These were requests addressed in the October 21 ruling, not separate rulings on Lindsay’s guilt or the double jeopardy motion. The judge declined to authorize the additional investigation, finding that allegations raised after the mistrial could not establish whether declaring it was legally necessary based on the information available at the time. According to juror accounts, 11 jurors favored finding Lindsay not guilty by reason of insanity, while ONE juror disagreed. After seven days of deliberations, the jury could not reach a unanimous verdict, resulting in a mistrial on September 4. The reported 11–1 split was not an official verdict. IMPORTANT: THE MOTION TO DISMISS ON DOUBLE JEOPARDY GROUNDS HAS NOT BEEN DENIED! Lindsay’s attorneys are still arguing that the mistrial was declared without adequately investigating concerns about the holdout juror and that another trial would violate her constitutional protection against double jeopardy. The next hearing is scheduled for November 2. The judge has not yet ruled on that motion. I’ve followed this case closely, and my opinion hasn’t changed. I believe Lindsay was severely mentally ill, and I believe she belongs in a psychiatric hospital for a very long time. A mistrial is not a conviction or an acquittal. And while these legal arguments continue, we cannot forget the three innocent children at the center of this tragedy. Cora, Dawson, and Callan lost their lives, and they deserve to be remembered. What do you think? Does the defense have a legitimate double jeopardy argument, or should Lindsay face another trial? #TrueCrimeWithAri #fyp #clancytrial #lindsayclancy #reddington
