About this episode

Ashleigh Banfield discusses the mistrial of Lindsay Clancy with defense attorney David Yannetti, exploring the complexities of jury deliberation and reasonable doubt.

One holdout juror, one accusation of lying under oath, and one murder trial that went completely off the rails...? After seven days and roughly 36 hours of deliberations, the Lindsay Clancy trial has ended in a mistrial, but not before defense attorney Kevin Reddington argued that the jury was effectively split 11–1 in favor of acquittal. Was one juror refusing to follow the law on reasonable doubt, or was this simply a jury that could not agree? In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield is joined by Karen Read's defense attorney, David Yannetti, who knows firsthand what it means to face a mistrial, a deadlocked jury, and the possibility of doing it all over again in Massachusetts.
