Lindsay Clancy Trial: Deadlocked Juries, Mistrials, & Retrials. A Career Prosecutor's Explainer

The Lindsay Clancy triple-homicide case - of her three children - has riveted the nation for weeks. In my 30-year career as a prosecutor, I had more jury deadlock notes than I could ever count up. Given that the jury in the Clancy case has indicated it may be deadlocked - unable to reach a unanimous verdict - this video explains the law regarding jury deadlock notes, mistrials, and the ensuing decision a prosecutor must make about whether to retry the case.

Donald Trump gave two no-bid contracts to his cronies, which is why the reflecting pool renovation failed spectacularly! To cover up the true reason for the renovation failure, Trump pressured DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro to prosecute somebody, anybody, for the damage to the reflecting pool liner. Caving to dear leader's demands, Pirro indicted an innocent, 67 year-old former Olympic athlete, David Hearn. However, a judge dismissed the case agasint Hearn.In a new development, the judge held a hearing to determine if he should prohibit the Department of Justice from ever re-brining the criminal case against Hearn by dismissing the case "with prejudice." During the hearing, the judge said to the prosecutor, "The president of the United States is pressuring your office . . . to recharge Mr. Hearn (on) what you have decided is meritless.” I just sat down to discuss this recent court hearing with Adam Klasfeld of All Rise News. Adam was in the courtroom covering the hearing in the Hearn case.Find Adam at: www.allrisenews.comFind Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I recently had the honor of being roasted by the premier Donald Trump impersonator, comedian J-L Cauvin. What you may not know is that J-L is also a lawyer, a former prosecutor in the Bronx, and a truly insightful political observer and commentator. I had the pleasure of sitting down with J-L for a wide-ranging discussion of the legal and political issues of the day. And at the end of the video is J-L roasting me as . . . you know who.

James Comey and his lawyers just filed not one but two motions to dismiss the baseless, evidence-free, vindictive, and selective seashell prosecution. And just as the first vindictive prosecution against Comey went down in flames, so too will this one, as this video discusses.

There are so many data points that suggest both that Donald Trump's desperation is showing AND that he is failing spectacularly. He is failing in the polls, he is failing politically, he is failing militarily, he is failing our nation economically, and he is failing in the eyes of world leaders across the globe. It is only a matter of time before Trump's presidency implodes and he falls from power. I sat down with my friend Dean Obeidallah to discuss Trump's desperation and impending implosion.

Prediction markets are being manipulated and misused. Congress can and should protect the American people with appropriate legislation. A great nonprofit organization, Represent Us, is pushing draft legislation, the PREDICT Act, designed to attack the prediction market problem. I sat down with Maria McFarland Sanchez-Moreno, CEO of RepresentUs, to discuss this important and necessary legislation.

The corrupt and compromised radical right-wing Supreme Court justices have stopped pretending they are texutualists, originalists, or loyal in any way to the constraints the Constitution places on the executive branch of our government or the powers it reserves exclusively to the legislative branch. They are expressly allowing a corrupt and criminally convicted president to act unlawfully and unconstitutionally. If we are interested in keeping or republic, we must reform a runaway Supreme Court and hold accountable those justices that have violated their oath of office, not to mention our federal laws (like financial reporting and disclosure requirements). I discuss these matters and more with constitutional law professor Kim Wehle.

In an effort to give the illusion of importance, Donald Trump is forever trying to slap his name and likeness on buildings, monuments and memorials all over Washington, DC. You don't need a psychology degree to recognize that this is a clear indication of his insecurity and egocentricity. Trump has been playing childish games in recent moths, trying to get around or outright defy a court ruling that his name must remain off the Kennedy Center. A federal judge in DC held a hearing at which Donald Trump AGAIN lost a renewed bid to affix his name to the Kennedy Center. Adam Klasfeld of All Rise News attended the court hearing, and Glenn sat down to discuss Trump's latest loss in court.

Ever since being convicted by a New York jury of 34 felony crimes for falsifying business records to cover up money he paid to silence a porn star - all in an effort to bury deeply damaging information from the American voters - Trump has been trying to undo his 34 convictions. A federal judge has issued an opinion rejecting Trump's latest attempt to reverse those convictions.Glenn discusses this legal development with Adam Klasfeld of All Rise News.Find Adam's work at : www.allrisenews.com Find Glenn on Substack: glennkirschenr.substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In case you need any more proof that Todd Blanche and Donald Trump's dirty DOJ leadership are protecting the Epstein class and in the process continuing to victimize the Epstein survivors, the Attorney General for the state of New Mexico - Raul Torrez, who is trying to investigate crimes committed at Epstein's Zorro Ranch in New Mexico, sued Blanche and the Department of Justice for "stonewalling, blocking and obstructing" the New Mexico investigation. Glenn reviews the lawsuit AG Torrez filed against Blanche and DOJ.Find Glenn on Substack: glennkirscner.substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
