Pearl - “The Lindsay Clancy Trial Could Happen ALL OVER AGAIN” @JustPearlyThings

00:00:00.000 District Attorney Tim Cruz came out with a really strong statement right after the mistrial

00:00:05.280 saying we need to focus on the victims here. However, Ouija, he didn't say specifically

00:00:11.240 whether or not his office was moving forward with charges. I, you know, had anticipated that

00:00:16.760 he would immediately make a statement that they would move forward. They have set a, the judge

00:00:22.080 and the prosecutors and the defense attorneys have set a status conference to sort of work

00:00:27.680 that out in late fall. But, you know, the prosecution has some soul searching to do here.

00:00:33.080 There were whispers that it was an 11 to 1 for an acquittal or a not guilty by reason of insanity

00:00:38.660 plea. And so they should think hard about what they're going to come back with. And a trial

00:00:44.900 could look much different the second time around. What would be different? Well, so, for example,

00:00:49.320 they could bring instead of first degree murder, they could bring second degree murder, which would

00:00:53.780 bring with it the opportunity for Clancy's side to request a bench trial and not a jury trial,

00:00:58.600 maybe take away some of the circus involved in the case. You know, the prosecution could offer

00:01:04.500 a plea deal. We're just not sure if Clancy's team would take it. You know, Kevin Reddington

00:01:09.420 seemed very much ready to, I mean, he wanted to retry this case next week, right? So we don't

00:01:14.280 know that they would accept anything other than a full trial. Caroline, you mentioned the circus

00:01:18.760 around this trial. How could there be an impartial jury anywhere in America at this point? Could

00:01:25.100 there be? I know you can't. I mean, moving jurisdictions isn't going to help anything.

00:01:29.240 That's exactly right. Look, this trial, these jurors were difficult enough to see. But I think

00:01:35.220 after this specific, I mean, just how much it captured the nation, it's going to be extremely

00:01:41.240 difficult. They'll have to do a really, really intensive, what we call voir dire process meant

00:01:45.600 to weed out any especially what you don't want is those stealth jurors on on the jury which you don't

00:01:50.820 want one person getting in there lying during voir dire and then getting in there saying you

00:01:55.720 know they're going one way or the other yeah put me in put me in coach I'll be impartial just kidding

00:02:00.780 don't put me in all right
