On-screen text

WAIT... could Lindsay Clancy actually be convicted of MANSLAUGHTER instead of murder?! 👀 After the jury left today, the attorneys stayed behind to discuss something VERY important: ⚖️ JURY INSTRUCTIONS Basically—the rules and possible verdicts the jury will be given before deliberations. And Reddington asked Sullivan to include: 👉 INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER But no—the judge wouldn't technically be "changing" Lindsay's murder charges. Reddington wants manslaughter added as an option the jury can consider. His argument? Lindsay's medications, dosage changes, side effects and stopping medications all contributed to her mental state. He called it an "involuntary intoxication defense." The prosecution is fighting it. 👀 Their argument: Involuntary manslaughter involves an unintentional killing... and they say the evidence shows Lindsay intended to kill the children. They also argue there's no evidence she was intoxicated by medication that night. So now Judge Sullivan has a BIG decision to make. ⚖️ Does the evidence support giving jurors involuntary manslaughter as another possible verdict? He hasn't ruled yet. And if Sullivan allows it... the jury would have a middle-ground option they don't currently have. That could be a VERY big deal when deliberations begin. 👀 What do you think? Should the jury be allowed to consider involuntary manslaughter?

Reddington made a pretty interesting request after the jury left today 👀 He wants Judge Sullivan to allow the jury to consider involuntary manslaughter — but the prosecution says the evidence doesn’t support it. Sullivan hasn’t ruled yet. Would YOU give the jury the manslaughter option? ⚖️ #LindsayClancy #LindsayClancyTrial #TrueCrimeTikTok #CourtTok #truecrimestory
