CNN got the extended version of the much propagandized clip of @AOC & @NYCMayor Zohran Mamdani & it demolishes all the bad faith attacks. Extended footage shows Zohran standing in somber mood before AOC comes. They exchange greetings & return to somber mood thereafter.
What NBC10 Boston has done to the lone holdout juror is a journalistic disgrace. After eleven white jurors failed to pressure the jury’s only Black member into abandoning his independent judgment, NBC10 effectively joined the campaign to destroy him.
While the jury list remains judicially impounded, NBC10 repeatedly approached this private citizen’s home, contacted his estranged relatives and former wife, searched through his housing records, publicized his unpaid rent and eviction, repeated a relative’s insult that he is a “narcissist,” and resurrected domestic-violence allegations wholly unrelated to Lindsay Clancy’s criminal responsibility.
NBC10 buried the crucial facts. The 2021 criminal charge was dismissed. Allegations in a restraining-order proceeding are not criminal convictions. Financial problems have absolutely nothing to do with whether Clancy knew that strangling her three children was wrong. None of this refutes the juror’s evidence-based concerns about the sequential killings and Clancy’s deliberate actions afterward.
Most disgracefully, NBC10 insinuated that the juror may have answered his questionnaire dishonestly, and even suggested possible criminal conduct, while admitting that the questionnaire is confidential, that the station has never seen it and that it cannot confirm how he answered. That is not responsible investigative journalism. It is speculation carefully arranged to resemble proof.
A confidential questionnaire issue, if one exists, belongs before the judge, not in a televised character-assassination campaign. NBC10 had no legitimate reason to publish this man’s rent problems or broadcast insults from estranged relatives. Those details were included for one purpose: to humiliate and discredit the sole juror who refused to deliver the verdict preferred by Clancy’s supporters.
This is a journalistic disgrace. A disgrace.
Jury service is a sacrifice that many of us attempt to avoid. But jurors are essential, and neither the American criminal nor civil justice system can function without them. Moreover, the jury system provides a powerful protection for the criminally accused, as unanimity among jurors of diverse backgrounds and experiences is difficult to achieve. Holdout jurors are a feature of the American jury system, not a bug.
For a media outlet—specifically Boston NBC 10—to expose the personal life of a private person merely because that individual honorably performed his civic duty and devoted weeks of his life to jury service is shameful.
Who in their right mind will appear for jury service if they know they can be publicly humiliated and dragged just because some media outlet or finger-wagging mob believes they voted the “wrong” way? This disgraceful “reporting” by Boston NBC 10 is an attack on the foundation of the American justice system itself. Shame.
Weaponizing this victim’s death is far more offensive than Mamdani and AOC having a friendly moment at a somber event, something literally every single person in the world has done
