WEBVTT - UPDATE: Surprise Ruling Leads To Major Setback For Lindsay Clancy 

0:00:02.259 --> 0:00:04.990
<v Speaker 1>Hey there, folks. It is Thursday, October 22nd, and we

0:00:05.030 --> 0:00:10.229
<v Speaker 1>have a significant update and potentially a significant setback for

0:00:10.350 --> 0:00:12.989
<v Speaker 1>Lindsey Clancy. And with that, welcome to this episode of

0:00:13.010 --> 0:00:17.100
<v Speaker 1>Amy and TJ Rope. This was a big, big part

0:00:17.239 --> 0:00:21.040
<v Speaker 1>of her defense attorney trying to get this whole case

0:00:21.140 --> 0:00:23.360
<v Speaker 1>thrown out. He wanted to go after this juror.

0:00:23.660 --> 0:00:24.120
<v Speaker 2>That's right.

0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:28.400
<v Speaker 3>So he wanted the juror investigated for, first of all,

0:00:29.120 --> 0:00:33.270
<v Speaker 3>using his cell phone. He wanted to actually have the

0:00:33.310 --> 0:00:37.190
<v Speaker 3>cell phone taken from juror, I guess, well, his name

0:00:37.250 --> 0:00:41.229
<v Speaker 3>is Michael Disronville, but wanted his cell phone taken and

0:00:41.290 --> 0:00:44.510
<v Speaker 3>examined to see who he was texting, when he was

0:00:44.570 --> 0:00:48.840
<v Speaker 3>texting them. Number two, he wanted the juror investigated for

0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:53.379
<v Speaker 3>lying on his juror questionnaire. And number three, He wanted

0:00:53.409 --> 0:00:56.730
<v Speaker 3>the juror investigated for lying to the judge when he

0:00:56.810 --> 0:00:58.350
<v Speaker 3>said he could follow instructions.

0:00:58.890 --> 0:01:01.170
<v Speaker 1>It's fair to say he wanted to put this juror

0:01:01.270 --> 0:01:01.790
<v Speaker 1>on trial.

0:01:02.550 --> 0:01:03.470
<v Speaker 2>I think that's a good way to put it.

0:01:03.530 --> 0:01:07.600
<v Speaker 1>Asking the judge to do so. And when was the

0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:09.780
<v Speaker 1>last hearing? It was a couple of weeks ago now,

0:01:09.819 --> 0:01:11.259
<v Speaker 1>but it was the first time she was back in

0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:15.870
<v Speaker 1>court since the mistrial. And they were going down. Back

0:01:15.910 --> 0:01:17.720
<v Speaker 1>and forth, we thought we might get some decisions, and

0:01:17.740 --> 0:01:20.480
<v Speaker 1>they essentially punted everything to November 2nd. There's a new

0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:22.940
<v Speaker 1>hearing coming up November 2nd. All of these things were

0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:25.539
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be addressed, the motion to dismiss, the motion

0:01:25.580 --> 0:01:29.360
<v Speaker 1>about this juror. Rose, we didn't, well, I didn't. Did

0:01:29.420 --> 0:01:34.209
<v Speaker 1>I miss somewhere? We weren't necessarily expecting this decision this

0:01:34.310 --> 0:01:36.150
<v Speaker 1>soon before the next scheduled hearing.

0:01:36.310 --> 0:01:39.240
<v Speaker 3>No, I didn't see anywhere that that was anticipated, but

0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:42.920
<v Speaker 3>the judge went ahead and made a ruling and denied

0:01:43.260 --> 0:01:49.030
<v Speaker 3>Kevin Reddington's request to investigate Michael Desronville, the holdout juror.

0:01:49.090 --> 0:01:54.070
<v Speaker 3>And look, if he had green-lighted an investigation into this juror,

0:01:54.510 --> 0:02:00.220
<v Speaker 3>the implications of doing that were significant. You are basically criminalizing-

0:02:01.110 --> 0:02:05.210
<v Speaker 3>a juror, or potentially saying that there was something that

0:02:05.810 --> 0:02:08.490
<v Speaker 3>rose to the level where you're now, as a juror,

0:02:08.550 --> 0:02:12.470
<v Speaker 3>being investigated because we don't like the way you deliberated.

0:02:12.530 --> 0:02:16.160
<v Speaker 3>We don't like the way you processed the evidence. We

0:02:16.180 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 3>don't like the way you dealt with the others in

0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:20.600
<v Speaker 3>the room.

0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:23.160
<v Speaker 2>That is frightening. And think about that.

0:02:23.260 --> 0:02:27.590
<v Speaker 3>If they had actually even pursued an investigation, even if

0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:30.750
<v Speaker 3>they had allowed this to go forward, any person.

0:02:31.389 --> 0:02:33.150
<v Speaker 2>Like, none of us want to serve on a jury.

0:02:33.190 --> 0:02:34.890
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there might be some people out there who do. No,

0:02:35.870 --> 0:02:38.500
<v Speaker 2>and I understand. It could be fascinating to be a

0:02:38.510 --> 0:02:39.220
<v Speaker 2>part of a trial.

0:02:39.260 --> 0:02:42.820
<v Speaker 3>But generally. Yeah, I don't want to somehow act like

0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:46.870
<v Speaker 3>nobody wants to. But most people, it's a massive disruption

0:02:46.910 --> 0:02:47.369
<v Speaker 3>in your life.

0:02:47.690 --> 0:02:50.090
<v Speaker 1>Nobody celebrates when the jury summons comes in the mail.

0:02:50.130 --> 0:02:50.450
<v Speaker 3>No.

0:02:50.470 --> 0:02:52.090
<v Speaker 1>It's okay to say that. You're trying to get out

0:02:52.110 --> 0:02:52.270
<v Speaker 1>of it.

0:02:52.790 --> 0:02:53.230
<v Speaker 2>Oh, my gosh.

0:02:53.250 --> 0:02:54.810
<v Speaker 3>I tried to get out of three different times and

0:02:54.830 --> 0:02:57.630
<v Speaker 3>eventually had to keep showing up. Every time my time

0:02:57.690 --> 0:03:00.170
<v Speaker 3>runs up here in New York City, I swear the

0:03:00.290 --> 0:03:01.670
<v Speaker 3>next day I get a jury summons.

0:03:01.750 --> 0:03:05.790
<v Speaker 2>I've had three, maybe more, since I've lived in this city.

0:03:06.110 --> 0:03:06.930
<v Speaker 1>That's a lot.

0:03:07.230 --> 0:03:08.850
<v Speaker 2>I have had to go down to the courthouse. Yeah,

0:03:08.889 --> 0:03:11.070
<v Speaker 2>so nobody wants it. Now, if I think.

0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:14.820
<v Speaker 3>if my other jurors, fellow jurors, are mad at me

0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 3>because I don't think the way they think or I

0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:18.620
<v Speaker 3>don't want to rule the way they rule, that I

0:03:18.660 --> 0:03:21.720
<v Speaker 3>could be held in some sort of contempt of court

0:03:21.750 --> 0:03:25.690
<v Speaker 3>or being investigated for my background, my cell phone.

0:03:27.110 --> 0:03:27.850
<v Speaker 2>No one will.

0:03:28.310 --> 0:03:31.510
<v Speaker 3>That's outrageous to think that that could happen in this country.

0:03:31.530 --> 0:03:35.900
<v Speaker 1>People are going to start fleeing to avoid jury duty. Well,

0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:40.060
<v Speaker 1>this was a lot. This idea of this was a lot.

0:03:40.180 --> 0:03:45.230
<v Speaker 1>And Look, we applauded Kevin Reddington during that trial a

0:03:45.350 --> 0:03:48.930
<v Speaker 1>lot for how he handled those witnesses. But Robes, the

0:03:48.970 --> 0:03:51.170
<v Speaker 1>way he handled and the way he was talking about

0:03:51.550 --> 0:03:54.510
<v Speaker 1>this juror didn't appreciate at all. They were beating up

0:03:55.010 --> 0:03:56.630
<v Speaker 1>on this before we knew who this man was or

0:03:56.670 --> 0:03:59.790
<v Speaker 1>any background. Robes was like, wow, they are really going

0:03:59.950 --> 0:04:03.230
<v Speaker 1>after this guy. Tell him they lied under oath to

0:04:03.270 --> 0:04:06.790
<v Speaker 1>the judge. And like, wow, it seems a little too much.

0:04:06.810 --> 0:04:08.350
<v Speaker 1>And then we got the details we got. So yes,

0:04:08.390 --> 0:04:11.970
<v Speaker 1>Michael Desronville held held tight in there for 40 hours

0:04:12.030 --> 0:04:16.550
<v Speaker 1>almost in a deliberation robes 40 hours 11 to 1

0:04:16.550 --> 0:04:20.180
<v Speaker 1>and as gail king would say oh he's black yes

0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:23.060
<v Speaker 1>he was the one black juror on there 11 to

0:04:23.060 --> 0:04:25.120
<v Speaker 1>1 so he held out robes he has done a

0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:27.000
<v Speaker 1>few interviews well not a few he did the one

0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:29.840
<v Speaker 1>with fox news right and he addressed some of this

0:04:29.860 --> 0:04:31.740
<v Speaker 1>stuff said he had no doubts that he is a

0:04:31.779 --> 0:04:35.380
<v Speaker 1>man of faith and so he really pushed back on

0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:38.240
<v Speaker 1>all these claims that reddington was making but we do

0:04:38.300 --> 0:04:41.700
<v Speaker 1>have the order the judge's order Only about four or

0:04:41.740 --> 0:04:45.719
<v Speaker 1>five pages long. And we plucked out the significant excerpts.

0:04:45.779 --> 0:04:49.049
<v Speaker 1>And Robes, a lot of this kind of makes sense.

0:04:49.110 --> 0:04:52.630
<v Speaker 1>He wrote that this wasn't just about a lot of legalese. Robes,

0:04:52.670 --> 0:04:54.770
<v Speaker 1>he said a lot of things here that he on

0:04:54.810 --> 0:04:57.550
<v Speaker 1>the bench even said, I'm a little uncomfortable with that.

0:05:06.930 --> 0:05:09.690
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and look, and I think that most legal experts

0:05:09.830 --> 0:05:13.160
<v Speaker 3>agree that it would be legally uncomfortable is maybe even

0:05:13.180 --> 0:05:15.040
<v Speaker 3>a mild statement. And it's funny, when you said Michael

0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:17.719
<v Speaker 3>Desronville was making the rounds, and then you said, well, actually,

0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:19.720
<v Speaker 3>he only did Fox News, I think you meant to

0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:23.290
<v Speaker 3>say his attorney. His attorney was making the rounds. And look,

0:05:23.390 --> 0:05:26.190
<v Speaker 3>so he was speaking on his behalf from the get-go

0:05:26.570 --> 0:05:28.710
<v Speaker 3>loudly to anyone who would listen that this was an

0:05:28.790 --> 0:05:30.170
<v Speaker 3>outrageous situation.

0:05:30.570 --> 0:05:31.270
<v Speaker 2>So the order.

0:05:32.650 --> 0:05:35.210
<v Speaker 3>The order excerpts that we chose that are really interesting

0:05:35.250 --> 0:05:40.480
<v Speaker 3>that the judge released. He said, it appears that Clancy

0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:45.700
<v Speaker 3>seeks an evidentiary hearing to determine whether juror Doe lied

0:05:45.779 --> 0:05:49.140
<v Speaker 3>on the jury questionnaire about prior involvement with the criminal

0:05:49.220 --> 0:05:54.669
<v Speaker 3>justice system. However, potential evidence of good cause to dismiss

0:05:54.810 --> 0:05:57.930
<v Speaker 3>a deliberating juror that came to light only after a

0:05:57.970 --> 0:06:01.640
<v Speaker 3>mistrial was declared is simply is not relevant to whether

0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:09.440
<v Speaker 3>there was a manifest necessity for a mistrial. The existence

0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:13.920
<v Speaker 3>of manifest necessity is assessed based on what was known

0:06:14.060 --> 0:06:16.290
<v Speaker 3>at the time of the judge's decision.

0:06:16.310 --> 0:06:18.969
<v Speaker 1>That kind of makes sense, doesn't it? Yes. This is

0:06:19.170 --> 0:06:25.020
<v Speaker 1>after the fact. It doesn't matter. It's some stuff you learned... afterwards,

0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:28.300
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't apply to... I thought that was... And he cited,

0:06:28.339 --> 0:06:30.740
<v Speaker 1>we didn't put him in here, but he cited legal precedent,

0:06:30.860 --> 0:06:33.560
<v Speaker 1>other cases to where his point is correct. He called

0:06:33.620 --> 0:06:35.580
<v Speaker 1>on to say prior to the declaration of a mistrial,

0:06:35.620 --> 0:06:39.880
<v Speaker 1>defense counsel raised no suggestion that juror Doe had lied

0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:44.380
<v Speaker 1>on the questionnaire. That information appears to have originated in

0:06:44.540 --> 0:06:47.520
<v Speaker 1>post-trial media reports. So there you go, Robes.

0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:50.300
<v Speaker 3>You didn't like the outcome, so then you go after

0:06:50.339 --> 0:06:53.000
<v Speaker 3>the juror. That's not the way it works. And if

0:06:53.050 --> 0:06:56.580
<v Speaker 3>the juror I like how they're still calling him Juror Doe,

0:06:56.640 --> 0:07:00.670
<v Speaker 3>even though everyone knows it's Michael Disronville. But if Michael

0:07:00.710 --> 0:07:06.229
<v Speaker 3>Disronville had voted to acquit Lindsey Clancy, there would be

0:07:06.270 --> 0:07:06.750
<v Speaker 3>no issue.

0:07:07.110 --> 0:07:09.240
<v Speaker 1>Of course not. We don't need to see his... Well,

0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:11.220
<v Speaker 1>we won this thing, Judge, but I just want to

0:07:11.260 --> 0:07:13.300
<v Speaker 1>make sure it's on the up and up. So check

0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:16.090
<v Speaker 1>his questionnaire. We just want to make sure. course not.

0:07:16.310 --> 0:07:18.670
<v Speaker 1>He finishes this section at least by saying, because post-trial

0:07:18.690 --> 0:07:23.570
<v Speaker 1>information potentially affecting juror Doe's impartiality cannot be used to

0:07:23.650 --> 0:07:30.250
<v Speaker 1>attack the determination that a mistrial was manifest necessity. Clancy

0:07:30.290 --> 0:07:33.570
<v Speaker 1>is not entitled to an evidentiary hearing on that issue.

0:07:33.650 --> 0:07:40.020
<v Speaker 1>Essentially saying, Robes, it's post-trial information, like potentially could have

0:07:40.060 --> 0:07:42.800
<v Speaker 1>had an impact on He's just saying you can't go back.

0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:45.780
<v Speaker 1>You can't revisit this thing. It's done. And whatever you

0:07:45.820 --> 0:07:50.200
<v Speaker 1>found out about him afterwards has nothing to do with

0:07:50.250 --> 0:07:53.210
<v Speaker 1>what happened in that room. This kind of made sense.

0:07:53.270 --> 0:07:56.370
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. So that was what the judge ruled specifically on

0:07:56.450 --> 0:08:00.890
<v Speaker 3>the lying on the juror questionnaire portion of Reddington's motion.

0:08:01.730 --> 0:08:04.740
<v Speaker 3>On his cell phone use, this is what the judge

0:08:04.820 --> 0:08:09.140
<v Speaker 3>had to say. A similar analysis applies to the argument

0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:12.520
<v Speaker 3>that there may have been grounds to replace Juror Doe

0:08:13.020 --> 0:08:16.620
<v Speaker 3>with an alternate based on Juror Doe's cell phone use,

0:08:16.990 --> 0:08:22.330
<v Speaker 3>which may suggest exposure to extraneous evidence. Prior evidence to

0:08:22.350 --> 0:08:26.630
<v Speaker 3>the declaration of a mistrial, defense counsel raised no suggestion

0:08:26.690 --> 0:08:30.130
<v Speaker 3>that juror Doe had been exposed to extraneous evidence or

0:08:30.250 --> 0:08:34.939
<v Speaker 3>improperly used a cell phone during deliberations because post trial

0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:39.400
<v Speaker 3>information cannot be used to attack the determination that a

0:08:39.420 --> 0:08:43.330
<v Speaker 3>mistrial was manifestly necessary. Clancy is not entitled to an

0:08:43.470 --> 0:08:45.670
<v Speaker 3>evidentiary hearing on that issue.

0:08:46.010 --> 0:08:48.290
<v Speaker 2>So the same rule applies. You can't use.

0:08:48.190 --> 0:08:51.880
<v Speaker 3>Information you found after the fact because you didn't like

0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:54.439
<v Speaker 3>the verdict against the juror who held out.

0:08:54.780 --> 0:08:58.910
<v Speaker 1>Isn't that, Robes, I think this is going to be it,

0:09:00.570 --> 0:09:03.310
<v Speaker 1>as far as Desronville goes. Because it was almost, we

0:09:03.330 --> 0:09:04.910
<v Speaker 1>were holding our breath, like what are they going to

0:09:04.950 --> 0:09:07.990
<v Speaker 1>do to this guy? What can they do to him?

0:09:08.050 --> 0:09:10.859
<v Speaker 1>Someone even talking about lying on a juror forum is

0:09:10.900 --> 0:09:14.960
<v Speaker 1>a crime. Robes, they were really coming at this dude.

0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:18.160
<v Speaker 1>The judge puts this thing to bed. I wonder what's

0:09:18.179 --> 0:09:20.059
<v Speaker 1>going to happen to this guy's life now. Will this

0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:23.480
<v Speaker 1>all calm down and go away? He is essentially now

0:09:24.059 --> 0:09:27.959
<v Speaker 1>completely done with this case. He's finished. He did his duty.

0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:30.439
<v Speaker 1>And now the judge says, we're not bringing him back in.

0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:32.780
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he should be able to hopefully go back.

0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:35.340
<v Speaker 3>And look, there are enough people who I think support

0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:38.420
<v Speaker 3>him and support what he did. Once all the facts

0:09:38.460 --> 0:09:40.880
<v Speaker 3>came out, certainly a lot of people.

0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:44.559
<v Speaker 2>rallied to support.

0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:47.540
<v Speaker 3>Him and to just, whether you agreed with his decision

0:09:47.580 --> 0:09:51.780
<v Speaker 3>or not, it's his right, his duty even, to make

0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:57.090
<v Speaker 3>the decision that most aligns with his interpretation of the evidence, period.

0:09:57.630 --> 0:09:59.710
<v Speaker 1>And you remember that part, this next part in the order.

0:10:00.020 --> 0:10:02.240
<v Speaker 1>order a lot of folks will remember there was a

0:10:02.740 --> 0:10:06.020
<v Speaker 1>part there at the end during deliberations where they brought

0:10:06.660 --> 0:10:08.640
<v Speaker 1>every juror in we didn't see it but it was

0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:10.780
<v Speaker 1>happening in the courtroom they don't show the jurors but

0:10:10.820 --> 0:10:13.130
<v Speaker 1>he had to bring them in one by one they

0:10:13.170 --> 0:10:16.010
<v Speaker 1>had to be sworn in again essentially and say can

0:10:16.050 --> 0:10:20.330
<v Speaker 1>you follow the judge's instructions they all answered yes Kevin

0:10:20.390 --> 0:10:25.459
<v Speaker 1>Reddington suggested that by Michael Desronville answering yes, he was

0:10:25.700 --> 0:10:28.240
<v Speaker 1>lying under oath, perjured himself.

0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:28.620
<v Speaker 3>Yes.

0:10:28.900 --> 0:10:32.580
<v Speaker 1>Because Reddington believes the guy was in there not following

0:10:32.620 --> 0:10:35.020
<v Speaker 1>the judge's instructions. That's a really, I know.

0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:35.820
<v Speaker 2>That was a stretch.

0:10:36.179 --> 0:10:38.780
<v Speaker 1>I know, Reddington, you're fighting for your client. That was

0:10:38.860 --> 0:10:41.579
<v Speaker 1>a stretch. So the judge addressed that part about lying

0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:41.979
<v Speaker 1>to the judge.

0:10:42.059 --> 0:10:45.780
<v Speaker 3>Yes, the judge wrote, finally, Clancy requests that this court

0:10:45.950 --> 0:10:50.340
<v Speaker 3>question juror Doe about the sworn assurance that On September 3rd, 2026,

0:10:50.340 --> 0:10:53.600
<v Speaker 3>that they were able to follow the law and the

0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:58.420
<v Speaker 3>foreperson's notes suggesting that juror Doe was unwilling or unable

0:10:58.480 --> 0:10:59.380
<v Speaker 3>to deliberate in.

0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:00.900
<v Speaker 2>Accordance with the court's instructions.

0:11:01.420 --> 0:11:06.870
<v Speaker 3>This court concludes that any further judicial inquiry is inappropriate.

0:11:07.309 --> 0:11:09.890
<v Speaker 3>given the mandate that the court must not delve into

0:11:10.010 --> 0:11:14.750
<v Speaker 3>a juror's subjective reasoning, thought process, view of the case,

0:11:15.130 --> 0:11:18.530
<v Speaker 3>or relationship to the other jurors, and must not inquire

0:11:18.929 --> 0:11:23.270
<v Speaker 3>into the jury's deliberative content, collective thought process, or any

0:11:23.450 --> 0:11:25.290
<v Speaker 3>disagreement among the jury.

0:11:25.570 --> 0:11:29.459
<v Speaker 1>They consider them sacred, babe. Jury deliberations.

0:11:29.580 --> 0:11:30.440
<v Speaker 2>They have to be.

0:11:30.540 --> 0:11:31.320
<v Speaker 1>They have to be.

0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:35.820
<v Speaker 3>They have to be. Because, look, otherwise, as we were

0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:40.450
<v Speaker 3>saying at the beginning... in an already difficult position many

0:11:40.470 --> 0:11:43.790
<v Speaker 3>jurors find themselves in, just AKA not wanting to be there,

0:11:44.550 --> 0:11:48.170
<v Speaker 3>thinking that, uh-oh, if I don't agree with the others,

0:11:49.030 --> 0:11:54.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna get completely subjected to scrutiny. And he did regardless,

0:11:55.020 --> 0:11:56.939
<v Speaker 3>even if it didn't rise to a legal level where

0:11:56.980 --> 0:12:00.260
<v Speaker 3>he was under any sort of legal jeopardy, publicly, the

0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:03.819
<v Speaker 3>scrutiny was overwhelming. To add some sort of legal part

0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:06.340
<v Speaker 3>to that on top of it would just be to

0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:07.660
<v Speaker 3>me insane.

0:12:07.940 --> 0:12:12.750
<v Speaker 1>I put myself in the seat of the defendant. Roe,

0:12:12.790 --> 0:12:15.830
<v Speaker 1>this messes up the whole judicial system. And the point

0:12:15.870 --> 0:12:18.150
<v Speaker 1>you just made, if I'm sitting there and I'm the

0:12:18.370 --> 0:12:21.210
<v Speaker 1>one and I got 11, okay, guys, I'll vote with you.

0:12:21.910 --> 0:12:23.900
<v Speaker 1>Please don't go out there and blast me on TV.

0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:25.339
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to get dis-Ronville'd.

0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:28.960
<v Speaker 1>Yes, that's the new thing. And now what about me

0:12:29.179 --> 0:12:32.820
<v Speaker 1>as the defendant? I have somebody in there that's on

0:12:32.860 --> 0:12:35.410
<v Speaker 1>my side that It's like, nah, I saw what they

0:12:35.429 --> 0:12:36.210
<v Speaker 1>did to that other dude.

0:12:36.250 --> 0:12:36.940
<v Speaker 2>It's not worth it.

0:12:36.970 --> 0:12:37.510
<v Speaker 1>I ain't here for it.

0:12:37.530 --> 0:12:39.490
<v Speaker 2>It's me or him or me or her.

0:12:39.690 --> 0:12:43.390
<v Speaker 1>Yes, and I prefer you go to jail. Rose, no,

0:12:43.410 --> 0:12:46.470
<v Speaker 1>you make a very, very good point. This screws up

0:12:46.530 --> 0:12:49.860
<v Speaker 1>the system. I love his line there, babe, about the

0:12:50.700 --> 0:12:55.000
<v Speaker 1>it's inappropriate. Your mandate is to not delve literally into

0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:55.880
<v Speaker 1>the juror's mind.

0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:57.100
<v Speaker 2>Exactly.

0:12:57.160 --> 0:13:00.300
<v Speaker 3>How can you say what he's feeling or thinking?

0:13:00.660 --> 0:13:03.640
<v Speaker 1>His background or his process or how he views it

0:13:03.660 --> 0:13:06.580
<v Speaker 1>or what his... Robes, that's a very good line. But

0:13:06.620 --> 0:13:09.430
<v Speaker 1>stay here. We'll show you and we'll tell you how

0:13:09.470 --> 0:13:15.910
<v Speaker 1>the judge closed out his note, his order, I should say,

0:13:15.950 --> 0:13:19.490
<v Speaker 1>in response to the motion. How he closed out saying that, no,

0:13:19.850 --> 0:13:21.510
<v Speaker 1>we are not bringing the juror back in. And we'll

0:13:21.550 --> 0:13:24.900
<v Speaker 1>tell you what actually is next for Lindsey Clancy.

0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:36.460
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back, everyone, to Amy and TJ.

0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:39.380
<v Speaker 3>Yes, we got a bit of a surprise ruling, an

0:13:39.620 --> 0:13:42.800
<v Speaker 3>order from the judge in the Lindsay Clancy case. And

0:13:42.860 --> 0:13:46.100
<v Speaker 3>Kevin Reddington is not getting what he wanted. He wanted

0:13:46.620 --> 0:13:50.740
<v Speaker 3>the holdout juror, Michael Desronville, to be held, I guess,

0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:54.720
<v Speaker 3>accountable for not agreeing with the other jurors, so to speak.

0:13:54.860 --> 0:13:59.220
<v Speaker 3>And the judge completely shot any chance of any sort

0:13:59.260 --> 0:14:03.410
<v Speaker 3>of inquiry or investigation into the juror. And he closed

0:14:03.630 --> 0:14:24.790
<v Speaker 3>out his order by saying this. The court gave the

0:14:24.870 --> 0:14:29.050
<v Speaker 3>Tui Rodriguez charge and the four person's notes identified juror

0:14:29.090 --> 0:14:34.490
<v Speaker 3>Doe as the lone holdout. The notes were not ambiguous. Accordingly,

0:14:34.550 --> 0:14:38.430
<v Speaker 3>the court in its discretion concludes that an evidentiary hearing

0:14:38.650 --> 0:14:43.290
<v Speaker 3>is not required to properly resolve Clancy's motion to dismiss.

0:14:43.980 --> 0:14:48.300
<v Speaker 1>That's it. That's done. Try something else. That is the

0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:51.270
<v Speaker 1>end of it. Michael Desronville is off the hook. He

0:14:51.430 --> 0:14:54.740
<v Speaker 1>is done with this case from a legal standpoint right now.

0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:57.800
<v Speaker 1>At least, Rose, this was, I don't know if it

0:14:57.820 --> 0:15:01.800
<v Speaker 1>was a Hail Mary, but clearly they were putting a

0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:06.870
<v Speaker 1>lot in the loan holdout basket in trying to get

0:15:06.910 --> 0:15:09.590
<v Speaker 1>a motion for dismissal. So that is a big argument

0:15:09.630 --> 0:15:12.490
<v Speaker 1>they were going to make that they do not have anymore.

0:15:13.210 --> 0:15:14.030
<v Speaker 2>No, they do not.

0:15:14.190 --> 0:15:18.650
<v Speaker 3>And so we're going to be hearing from... Kevin Reddington

0:15:19.050 --> 0:15:22.270
<v Speaker 3>and others, and we'll hear, hopefully, a lot of decisions

0:15:22.310 --> 0:15:25.930
<v Speaker 3>being made on November 2nd, because he still has a

0:15:25.970 --> 0:15:29.580
<v Speaker 3>motion to dismiss, correct, in there? I just always think

0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:32.600
<v Speaker 3>this is so interesting, the way the grounds are double

0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:38.180
<v Speaker 3>jeopardy grounds, because basically what Lindsey Clancy's defense team is arguing,

0:15:38.260 --> 0:15:41.180
<v Speaker 3>or I guess that's Kevin Reddington, basically, is arguing that

0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:47.609
<v Speaker 3>a second trial would violate Lindsey Clancy's constitutional rights double

0:15:47.710 --> 0:15:52.620
<v Speaker 3>jeopardy protections because he's claiming, Kevin Reddington is claiming, that

0:15:52.670 --> 0:16:00.780
<v Speaker 3>the judge declared a mistrial prematurely without a sufficient inquiry.

0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:02.260
<v Speaker 3>Is this into the juror still?

0:16:02.460 --> 0:16:11.060
<v Speaker 1>His argument is that this jury cleared her on most

0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:15.400
<v Speaker 1>of the charges because Desronville... I don't know if it

0:16:15.420 --> 0:16:18.960
<v Speaker 1>was first degree. He's making the argument that the jury

0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:22.400
<v Speaker 1>was in agreement on a couple of these murder charges.

0:16:22.910 --> 0:16:25.250
<v Speaker 1>So throw those out, and that should be double jeopardy.

0:16:25.330 --> 0:16:29.510
<v Speaker 3>Right, because from what we've heard from the jurors, correct,

0:16:29.550 --> 0:16:33.010
<v Speaker 3>that Michael DeSronville was willing to come down from first degree.

0:16:33.790 --> 0:16:36.640
<v Speaker 2>But do we know what he was willing to, was

0:16:36.700 --> 0:16:38.560
<v Speaker 2>he willing to do manslaughter?

0:16:38.580 --> 0:16:41.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if he was asked that in his interview.

0:16:41.060 --> 0:16:42.050
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Dang.

0:16:42.070 --> 0:16:43.050
<v Speaker 1>I don't remember asking that question.

0:16:43.090 --> 0:16:44.500
<v Speaker 2>Because I would be interested. Was he.

0:16:44.530 --> 0:16:47.980
<v Speaker 3>Because obviously the jury had the choice of first degree,

0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:51.900
<v Speaker 3>second degree, manslaughter, or not guilty. We know that 11

0:16:51.900 --> 0:16:54.620
<v Speaker 3>of the jurors were all on board with the not guilty.

0:16:55.020 --> 0:16:57.770
<v Speaker 3>But what did Michael Disronville... What was he willing to

0:16:57.790 --> 0:17:01.010
<v Speaker 3>come down to? Second degree or manslaughter? And so that's

0:17:01.110 --> 0:17:02.790
<v Speaker 3>part of Reddington's argument.

0:17:03.150 --> 0:17:05.510
<v Speaker 1>That's part of it. And the other, of course, is that...

0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Desronville shouldn't be there anyway. His vote shouldn't count. She

0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:14.680
<v Speaker 1>was essentially acquitted. Let's all go home. So that motion

0:17:14.700 --> 0:17:16.119
<v Speaker 1>was dismissed. So we're supposed to hear about that on

0:17:16.140 --> 0:17:16.830
<v Speaker 1>November 2nd.

0:17:17.050 --> 0:17:19.550
<v Speaker 2>It's called renewal of Rule 25 motion.

0:17:20.710 --> 0:17:22.690
<v Speaker 3>Yes, that's I didn't even know this was out there,

0:17:22.830 --> 0:17:26.650
<v Speaker 3>citing that because 11 of the 12 jurors wanted to

0:17:26.730 --> 0:17:32.530
<v Speaker 3>acquit Lindsay Clancy, that That he would then, the judge

0:17:32.570 --> 0:17:34.760
<v Speaker 3>could be required to finding her not guilty.

0:17:34.780 --> 0:17:36.340
<v Speaker 2>That makes no sense to me.

0:17:36.780 --> 0:17:37.040
<v Speaker 3>Huh.

0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:38.500
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I get it. These are a lot of

0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:39.300
<v Speaker 2>these are Hail Marys.

0:17:39.340 --> 0:17:43.119
<v Speaker 3>And then he wants, the prosecution wants a gag order in.

0:17:43.180 --> 0:17:48.530
<v Speaker 3>They want to limit public statements regarding jurors in the case.

0:17:48.550 --> 0:17:50.929
<v Speaker 3>They just, they want a gag order on this. I

0:17:51.010 --> 0:17:53.390
<v Speaker 3>feel like the cat's out of the bag at this point.

0:17:53.430 --> 0:17:56.010
<v Speaker 3>I mean, People are obsessed with this. Every bit of

0:17:56.050 --> 0:17:58.709
<v Speaker 3>information seems to be getting out, at least. And then

0:17:58.730 --> 0:18:02.440
<v Speaker 3>we're trying to see if, like, has the prosecution fully

0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:08.940
<v Speaker 3>come out and said, we are going to absolutely recharge

0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:11.080
<v Speaker 3>Lindsay Clancy or the charges are going to stand and

0:18:11.100 --> 0:18:12.020
<v Speaker 3>we want a new trial?

0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:15.180
<v Speaker 2>They haven't officially said that.

0:18:15.220 --> 0:18:17.410
<v Speaker 1>Well, we have to say yes, because they were behaving

0:18:17.450 --> 0:18:20.350
<v Speaker 1>in the last hearing as if they say, yes, we'll

0:18:20.369 --> 0:18:23.260
<v Speaker 1>be ready for the next trial. They were getting ready

0:18:23.300 --> 0:18:25.920
<v Speaker 1>for trial. They were in discussions with the judge about

0:18:26.020 --> 0:18:29.680
<v Speaker 1>a retrial and dates for a retrial. They didn't say,

0:18:29.940 --> 0:18:32.100
<v Speaker 1>we're not ready for that yet, or hold off, we

0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:35.710
<v Speaker 1>need to make a decision. They were looking at retrial

0:18:35.750 --> 0:18:36.889
<v Speaker 1>dates with the judge.

0:18:37.590 --> 0:18:40.170
<v Speaker 3>And the last we heard from Kevin Rennington is that

0:18:40.310 --> 0:18:44.710
<v Speaker 3>he can't be ready until June, right? So it doesn't

0:18:44.730 --> 0:18:47.350
<v Speaker 3>look like, look, if they actually set a new trial date,

0:18:47.430 --> 0:18:50.530
<v Speaker 3>and that will be big news, looks like it will

0:18:50.590 --> 0:18:56.429
<v Speaker 3>be next summer, which, oh boy, are any of us

0:18:56.510 --> 0:18:58.290
<v Speaker 3>ready for another trial?

0:18:58.550 --> 0:19:00.310
<v Speaker 1>They'll plea. They got to plead out.

0:19:00.390 --> 0:19:02.929
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'm hoping. I think that's what the world

0:19:02.990 --> 0:19:03.930
<v Speaker 2>is hoping at this point.

0:19:04.270 --> 0:19:06.770
<v Speaker 1>But folks, that is an update. That is a significant one.

0:19:06.810 --> 0:19:09.190
<v Speaker 1>The next one we will get, we anticipate getting, will

0:19:09.230 --> 0:19:11.340
<v Speaker 1>be a little over a week from now, November 2nd,

0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:14.580
<v Speaker 1>when she does have Another status hearing where we are
