Lindsay Clancy & The Holdout Juror: What Massachusetts Law Actually Says & Where We Go From Here (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Eleven jurors voted to acquit Lindsay Clancy. One didn't. Six days later his dismissed charge, his divorce, and his eviction were on national television. He has never spoken to a reporter. He has never been named. He showed up for jury duty and then did the one thing we tell every juror to do, which is refuse to move when you don't believe it. This week the entire country argued about whether he should have been allowed in the building. Almost nobody arguing bothered to read the statute that ans
Breaking - Gisèle Pelicot 2.0: The Men Who Knew the Guest List Was for Rape (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This episode covers rape, drug-facilitated sexual assault, and the death of a woman. Nothing in it is graphic for the sake of being graphic. Resources are below. Late on June 25, 2026, in the small Upper Austrian town of Marchtrenk, a teenage girl finds her mother unresponsive and bleeding. Paramedics pronounce her dead at 12:44 a.m. Her husband tells police it was rough, consensual sex that went wrong. That story lasts until the autopsy. Austrian prosecutors have said on the record that she was
The Lindsay Clancy Trial: The Jurors Speak, Reddington Makes Moves, & "Repeal the 19th" (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The jury foreperson has a name now. Roni Carlson. She and two other women from that panel sat down with NBC10 this week and told everybody what actually went on in there for seven days, and one detail has been rattling around my skull since. The holdout admitted he had reasonable doubt. Out loud. To the room. She was so relieved she started filling out the verdict forms, all three of them, signed her name on each one. And then he said, "But I'm still not going to say that she's not guilty by rea
The Lindsay Clancy Trial, Day 27: Holdout. 11-1 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A judge in Plymouth, Massachusetts spent Thursday afternoon reading twelve adults the definition of a word. Not the evidence. Not the eighty-odd witnesses. A definition. Reasonable doubt. Because a note came out of that jury room saying one person in there will not take it. Disagreeing with eleven people is allowed. That's the job. Refusing the standard itself is something else, and it's about to blow up five weeks of trial. Six days of deliberation. Thirty-six and a half hours. Split eleven to
The Lindsay Clancy Trial, Day 26: Breaking News & Everyone's Lost Their Damn Minds (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders has a formal diagnosis for caffeine withdrawal. It does not have one for postpartum psychosis. That's where this episode starts, and it turns out to explain almost everything about the six weeks that followed. As I record this, the jury in Plymouth has told the judge for the second time in two days that it cannot agree on whether Lindsay Clancy was criminally responsible. Five weeks of trial. More than eighty witnesses. The judge has now
