After Lindsay Clancy’s 11-1 mistrial, the questions are shifting from what happened during the first trial to what the Commonwealth and defense must do differently in a retrial. Criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor Joshua Ritter explains whether double jeopardy applies, why prosecutors changed their portrayal of Clancy, whether planning rules out legal insanity and how another impartial jury could be selected.
Josh also answers viewer questions about Barry Morphew’s reported bond trouble, D4vd’s request for a public defender, victim-rights counsel in the Tyler Robinson case, Caleb Flynn’s 911 call, the Laura Owens plea deal, missing witnesses, jury deadlocks and more.
