The Lindsay Clancy trial ended in a mistrial, but the legal battle is far from over.
In this episode of No Contest: The Kolsrud and King Report, attorney Josh Kolsrud and former law enforcement officer and legal analyst Claudia King take a close look at the controversy surrounding the lone holdout juror and the motions now being pursued by Clancy’s defense team.
Josh and Claudia break down what happened inside the jury room, what we know about the 11–1 split, and the legal significance of a single juror refusing to join the other eleven.
They also examine defense attorney Kevin Reddington’s efforts to challenge what happened during deliberations and investigate the holdout juror. Josh explains the legal hurdles involved, what a defense team must establish when raising allegations of juror misconduct, and why courts are generally cautious about interfering with jury deliberations.
Claudia and Josh also discuss Reddington’s public approach toward the holdout juror and whether aggressively targeting a juror after a mistrial could have consequences beyond this case. Could the way jurors are treated after controversial verdicts or mistrials make ordinary citizens think twice about serving?
Then, they look ahead.
Could the case be dismissed? Could Lindsay Clancy face another trial? What happens if the court finds evidence of juror misconduct? And what legal arguments are likely to matter most when the parties return to court?
PLUS, in Overtime:
Even if Lindsay Clancy is ultimately found not criminally responsible, does that mean she will someday leave psychiatric treatment?
Josh and Claudia discuss what continued commitment could look like, what courts consider when determining whether someone remains a danger to themselves or others, and why an insanity verdict does not automatically mean someone simply walks free.
No Contest breaks down the law behind the headlines and the questions that remain unanswered in one of the most closely watched criminal cases in the country.
