UPDATE: Here’s what just happened with the emergency appeal in the Lindsay Clancy case:
The defense went to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court asking Justice Dalila Wendlandt to stop the mistrial process and require Judge Sullivan to address the holdout-juror issue before this jury is discharged.
The defense’s argument is that this is NOT simply a juror disagreeing with the other 11. The foreperson reported that the juror had acknowledged doubt but refused to apply that doubt to the verdict as required by law.
Because of that, the defense is asking for an individual inquiry/voir dire to determine whether that juror is actually willing and able to follow the judge’s reasonable-doubt instructions.
The Commonwealth argued that this is part of jury deliberations and the court cannot start investigating a juror simply because the jury disagrees.
Justice Wendlandt heard both sides and has now TAKEN THE MATTER UNDER ADVISEMENT.
That means:
NO ruling yet.
The defense has NOT lost.
The defense has NOT won.
The mistrial remains on hold while the SJC decides what happens next.
If the defense wins, Sullivan could be ordered to question the juror before ending this jury.
If the defense loses, Sullivan can move forward with the mistrial.
We are now waiting on the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court.

W Pałacu Prezydenckim rozmawialiśmy dziś o przyszłości polskich rodzin i demografii.
Wydatki na demografię to inwestycja w przyszłość, tak jak wydatki na bezpieczeństwo. Bo bez ludzi nie będzie silnej gospodarki i silnego państwa.
Jednym z konkretnych rozwiązań jest prezydencki projekt „PIT Zero. Rodzina na plus” – 0% PIT dla rodziców wychowujących co najmniej dwoje dzieci.
Państwo powinno wspierać młodych ludzi w decyzji o założeniu i powiększeniu rodziny, także odpowiadając na kulturowe trendy wpływające dziś na ich wybory.
Wnioski z dzisiejszej konferencji znajdą odzwierciedlenie w Prezydenckiej Strategii Rozwoju, którą w przyszłym roku przedstawi Prezydent Karol Nawrocki 🇵🇱

Odmłodniałem czytając to. Od 40 lat te same historie, charakterne chłopaki, drobni przestępcy, trochę ciapowate złodziejaszki łapane przez policję nagle wstają rano i zaczynają tworzyć skomplikowane mechanizmy finansowe, obracać miliardami, korumpować polityków. Polish dream.
Guys are cucking themselves in dating by thinking there are any requirements to this.
After you pull a baddie you realize you didn’t need to be half of the man you are. She was down without you bringing money, status or physique into the equation. You pulled it off on looks and giggles alone.
That’s when you understand it was not the girl who needed those things but you.
You were rejecting yourself before the girl even had a chance because you didn’t give yourself permission to try.
Don’t waste shots thinking you aren’t ready since the opportunities will pass regardless.
The jury foreperson is beside herself. She told the holdout to:
-read the room
-be normal for once
-just be a decent human being
She then called him an incel and said he would never get laid again in this town.
And nevertheless, he persisted.
Sick of her getting grief. Two of her colleagues had just been shot and she grabbed a vest and a rifle and ran to the sound of gunfire. Can’t ask for much more than that. Gunfights are rarely convenient and the dress code is what ya got on.
