[Nick Sortor @nicksortor]

🚨 BREAKING: Lindsay Clancy's defense attorney is MELTING DOWN in court and DIRECTLY SPARRING with the judge, calling the judge "SOFT"

DEFENSE: Stop being soft with jury instructions!

JUDGE: What do you want me to do?! Get a BRASS BAND?! I read the instruction as written by the Massachusetts Supreme Court?! The fact I perhaps did not give it my full inflection, I'm sorry about that, I'm not an actor! I'm giving INSTRUCTION!

[sierra @cbsenjoyer]

@theodorable2015 @charistasnell that must be a jurisdictional difference because i’m also a lawyer lol, and in my jurisdiction’s instructions it literally says the evidence does not need to eliminate all possible doubt 🤷🏼‍♀️ it has pretty similar language to the one in massachusetts from what i understand

[sierra @cbsenjoyer]

read this if you think a hung jury should mean an automatic acquittal bc this is the reality of what most juries look like. god forbid you’re the victim of a serious crime and your case is torpedoed by one juror

[Matt Johnston @MattInformed]

The jury that I recently served on was hung because:

1. Three jurors refused to discuss the evidence with an open mind. At the start of deliberations, they declared: “I will never change my mind on this. You could never convince me otherwise.” They demanded a hung jury verdict in the first hour of deliberations - simply because our initial vote was split. That was a violation of jury instructions.

2. Very few of the jurors were able to take the entire case in context, and parse through all the testimonies and evidence to decipher what we believed was the truth. They wanted to pick 1 testimony as the perfect telling and did not know how to decide given discrepancies between them all.

3. Two jurors kept objecting to points of discussion because of “bias” that they claimed we were invoking into our deliberations. These jurors claimed that some of the evidence submitted during trial could not be considered by the jury because it would “trigger our biases.” They kept interjecting “that’s bias” or “you’re just biased” or “that’s your bias tainting the evidence.” Other jurors responded to this defensively and would back down at the accusations.

4. One juror in particular - totally woke - viewed the entire world as groups (oppressors) and individuals (victims) and so would not accept anything as true, right, or good that could come from the group (they were the accusers), and defaulted to the individual (the accused) as the only possible honest person. She refused to accept any testimony or evidence offered by the group, and became visibly shaken and angry if any other juror questioned the integrity or testimony of the accused - a testimony that was filled with errors and contradictions.

She was also very condescending to all others.

5. Multiple jurors declared it was “impossible to decide the facts of the case” because there was no video evidence. They lamented that we don’t have “surveillance like in the UK” in all public places, and as such it would be impossible to determine the facts of this case. If t hey could not see the events, they would not believe them.

6. Several jurors could not understand the written law, even after being provided explanations and instructions from the court. They simply could not comprehend. Not that they disagreed, but they could not understand.

7. Two jurors kept interrupting the process of discussion saying “you’re wasting our time” and they kept telling us they wanted to vote and go home and put this mess behind us.

Alas…a hung jury was the right outcome. Not because of the case, but because of the deficiency of the jury.

[sierra @cbsenjoyer]

@theodorable2015 @charistasnell actually if the one holdout was equating reasonable doubt with any possible doubt and saying not guilty because of that, it would also make sense to give that instruction. very common misunderstanding of the law to think any doubt at all means you have to go not guilty

Vince would’ve been in an alliance with the icons, won hoh, and accidentally put two of them up. Then he would’ve won veto and accidentally put the third icon up too. All while uncontrollably sobbing. I miss his pathetic ass #BB28

[sierra @cbsenjoyer]

also almost every theory i’ve seen is truly grasping at straws and ignoring the fact that lindsay’s defense has never been that she didn’t kill the kids. u think her attorneys wouldn’t blame the husband if there was even a hint of credible evidence he did it???

[sierra @cbsenjoyer]

the obsession with this trial drives me crazy dude like these people are going through something so extremely devastating and all these strangers are treating it like a fuckin severance episode like “here’s MY theory for what’s going on” who cares three kids are dead!!!

[Kylie Jane Kremer @KylieJaneKremer]

I am going to lose followers for this but I don’t care.

48 hours ago, I believed Lindsay Clancy killed her children. Then I started actually watching the trial.

Now I have serious doubt and the defense hasn’t even begun.

By every account, Lindsay adored her children. Even her anxiety centered around protecting them and fear of leaving them. She was struggling and asking for help, yet Patrick fired the nanny, Patrick told his parents not to come help just two days before the deaths, and he continued traveling while she deteriorated.

Then there are the questions I cannot ignore:

The computer searches people assumed were Lindsay’s were Patrick’s. Medications Lindsay had turned over to Patrick to dispose of were later found in her system. Her writings included fears of someone else harming her children. First responders testified about finding Patrick sitting on the couch despite three dying children. And now questions surrounding another woman, trips, hotels and the timeline of that relationship deserve serious scrutiny.

Patrick is also the source of some of the most incriminating statements attributed to Lindsay. Not medical professionals or family members. It was Patrick who said she had thoughts of harming her children and who said that she killed her children. Meanwhile, first responders stated she wasn’t even able to speak because of her severe injuries, including her body temperature of 82 degrees.

I could go on and on and on about the various discrepancies coming out in court.

None of this proves what happened that night. That’s precisely my point.

Why wasn’t every possibility thoroughly investigated? Why wasn’t Patrick investigated? Lindsay was charged just 21 hours after first responders got to her home and the case was closed.

This isn’t about defending Lindsay or accusing Patrick. It’s about three murdered children who deserve the truth.

I don’t know for certain what happened but neither does anyone else on the internet.

And after watching the Commonwealth’s own case, I don’t understand how anyone can claim there are no questions left to ask.

The defense hasn’t even begun.

[sierra @cbsenjoyer]

imagine someone you love kills your children then tries to kill herself and instead of completely distancing yourself you actually speak up on her behalf and then the internet calls you an abuser and a murderer bc your shoes look slightly different in a video like cmon

only someone who has never seen real alcoholism would say shit like this

[apo @aplprt]

Se mettre une cuite une fois par semaine, c’est de l’alcoolisme. Ne pas savoir se passer d’alcool en soirée, c’est de l’alcoolisme. La bière du soir pour décompresser de la journée, c’est de l’alcoolisme. Avoir besoin d’alcool pour se détendre, c’est aussi une forme d’alcoolisme.

yeah a lot of the “we can’t know what’s going on with her just by looking at her body” ppl are completely ignoring how she moves on social media with the constant body checking and doubling down on being healthy
