Madam Secretary

This head nod by Sue Clancy to Lindsay says everything. #LindsayClancy

In my opinion, finding out a prospective juror omitted or provided false/inaccurate info on their questionnaire gives more weight to the accusations by the foreperson and others that said juror was unable, or refused, to follow the judge’s instructions on the law during deliberations… #LindsayClancy

Interesting … RE: dishonest answers by prospective jurors during voir dire.

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary

Is it typical for a news show to release “teaser” clips hyping up a highly anticipated episode about a widely publicized and controversial case to then not include said clips in the scheduled episode? Isn’t it kind of like false advertising…? It’s giving #KarenRead “there’s ring video.” @60Minutes #LindsayClancy

Additionally, a juror cannot act as a rogue prosecutor. If the only way a juror can justify a conviction is by explaining alternative theories (that the prosecution did not present, nor prove) then the legal requirement of **proof beyond a reasonable doubt** has not been met, and the juror's lawful vote should be "not guilty." #LindsayClancy

“As I tried to explain **different possible theories** during deliberation, I kept getting cut off as if I had doubts based on the evidence presented.” Well, if a juror is proposing alternative theories to convince others of the defendant’s guilt, the juror is likely violating the core legal principle that a defendant can only be convicted on the specific case and evidence presented by the prosecution.

Can someone do a welfare check on the children of #LindsayClancy obsessed @RepNancyMace (if she has any) and pets too for that matter. This is beyond unhinged.

First of all, #LindsayClancy has NOT been convicted. @POTUS how do you feel about a Republican member of your congress openly stating she would not uphold someone’s constitutional rights in a criminal proceeding if she was on a jury. Openly calling for a public execution without a guilty verdict and stating “nobody ever wants me on a jury.” She’s now lost any and all credibility regarding the #Epsteinfiles as far as I’m concerned.

Hey @MegynKellyShow @RepNancyMace @NancyGrace @NancyMace Look how @Oprah is using her platform to *educate* on the topic of postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis. You could learn a thing or two. Stop jumping on the attack wagon and, instead, help fellow women and their husbands/partners/families understand the emergent situation surrounding PPD/PPP. youtu.be/fxo_-svGEIE?is=5Urm…

Really @megynkelly ? You can tell by the jurors’ appearances which way they are going to go? If you saw them, you would know? If this is how you are trying to gain more conservative votes from women, you are failing miserably. And I say that as an unenrolled voter. So disgusting coming from a woman with your platform.

I haven’t posted much on the #LindsayClancy case this week because I felt like I couldn’t quite articulate what was going through my mind. I thought, in the beginning of the trial, the case would likely end in a mistrial due to a hung jury. I based this on how divided the public was. That percentage shifted slightly throughout the trial due to the CW’s lack of proving their case (IMO). The length of time these jurors took, in between their notes that they were deadlocked, is truly admirable. They tried to reach a unanimous verdict. They wanted this case to conclude with THEIR verdict. We typically do not get to learn the details of the deadlock or the split. That was an added factor. Learning that it was a single holdout, the CW knew their best result was a mistrial and pushed for it. Reddington saw that NCR or an acquittal was being stonewalled by a single juror. So, he advocated as any defense attorney would and SHOULD. I can’t say I am necessarily mad at the hold out and I understand Judge Sullivan’s decision. We couldn’t possibly know for certain that the juror was not applying the law to their verdict without further investigation, which is not allowed. We already knew too much about their deliberations. As much as we may want to take the remaining 11 jurors’ belief that the juror was not applying the law, we couldn’t know for sure that it wasn’t just a discrepancy in interpretations of the law or the instructions. It will be interesting to hear if any jurors speak out. I pray that they are left alone. My observations of them were that they were committed to this case and served to the best of their ability.

Now let’s do the similarities. Andrea Yates was 36 when she killed her children. She was first hospitalized for mental illness in June of 1999, at 34 years old, for postpartum depression and S attempt after the birth of her 4th child. She was diagnosed with major depressive disorder (MDD). #LindsayClancy was 32 years old, in January of 2023, when she killed her children. She was suffering from severe depression and anxiety after the birth of her 3rd child. According to the experts who testified at trial, LC has MDD and/or a Bipolar disorder. The facility she is held at, in Tewksbury, has diagnosed her with Bipolar 2. Bipolar disorder typically presents in women when they are in their late 20s to early 30s. MDD can present in women of childbearing ages between their 20s and 30s. With a significant increase of 40% onset of MDD for women in the postpartum period of 3 to 6 months after childbirth.

Whoa. #LindsayClancy #KevinReddington
