Transcript

reasonable doubt. He admitted he had reasonable doubt, and I started filling out the forms. I was so excited. I actually there were three forms I had to fill out, filling them out. I wrote my signature on each one, and then he said, but I'm still not going to say that she's not guilty by reason of insanity.

Original caption

This is the part that matters. One of the Lindsay Clancy jurors is now speaking publicly and says the holdout juror admitted he had reasonable doubt. But according to her, he still was not going to cast his verdict based on that reasonable doubt. That is exactly the issue Kevin Reddington was furious about. Because this was not simply: “I disagree with the other 11 jurors.” According to the juror speaking out, it was: “I have reasonable doubt… but I’m still not going to vote that way.” And those are two very different things. You are absolutely allowed to be the lone holdout. You are absolutely allowed to disagree with everyone else in the room. But if you acknowledge reasonable doubt exists and then refuse to apply the legal standard the judge gave you? That is why this became such a massive issue. And now we are hearing it directly from another juror. #LindsayClancy #lindsayClancyTrial #ReasonableDoubt #lindsayclancytrial #CourtTok
