It sure seems to me like they bought the not guilty by reason of insanity defense.
That's what it sounds.
Yeah. Yeah.
And so if the prosecution decides to do it again,
they have the backdrop of Karen Reed, your case.
Right.
And it didn't make the DA look great in that case.
And if Massachusetts repeats it again and they get an Alan Jackson result in the retrial,
that's not a great look for Massachusetts.
That's a serious black eye to the justice system in Massachusetts.
Yet again, I thought it was a travesty that we had to try the case a second time because
the judge never pulled.
Judge Kenoni never pulled the jurors to find out if there was in fact a juror,
a verdict rather, of the other counts.
If she had done that, we would have found that in fact she had been acquitted.
Karen had been acquitted originally.
I don't know why the judge didn't do that in this case as well.
Mr. Reddington was asking for that.
We've got some precedent.
It just happened two years ago that this debacle happened again or happened previously,
and we don't want it to happen again.
Right.
And I don't think this prosecution is going to give one inch.
I think they're going to come back just like they did in Karen's case.
They're going to come back full tilt with an eye toward convicting her of murder,
which I think is also a travesty personally.
In this case, who knows what's going to happen.
If they decide to go after this again,
and let's say that public opinion has swayed so heavily in her favor,
now they're going to be dealing with picking a jury in the future
that I think has heavily been influenced by this media coverage.
They're not going to find a Massachusetts jury
that doesn't know about the Lindsay Clancy case.
It was just like in Karen Reed's case.
We did not have a jury who had never heard of the case.
We just had to find a jury who said, jurors who said,
I won't be influenced by what I've read or what I've heard.
That's going to be a tough slog.
