Star Wars The Mandalorian and Grogu now streaming on Disney Plus. Rated PG-13.

I'm not sure if rogue is the right word, Sue, but every one of us in the hours of a frustration would get up and walk the room, because you just couldn't sit anymore, and would all go to the cart with the exhibits.

He I think got up to the cart once, very briefly and went back to his seat. He would not interact with us, and try to understand. We read to him on numerous occasions, the definition of reasonable doubt from Judge Sullivan's instruction. He actually said one day in the end, why don't we have the judge come in and read it again? And we were like, no, we have it in front of us.

We don't need that. And we would highlight it. And, you know, so-and-so, this is the definition of reasonable doubt. But he had the hardest time getting off the fact that Lindsay viciously killed her children.

Jason Whitlock (1:37)

Yep, you just heard it. Not a host, not a pundit, not a podcaster, a juror. He had a reasonable doubt. She started filling out forms. She put on her signature on the paper. Then he said he still would not say not guilty by reason of insanity. They walked the room. They walked the exhibits cart. He barely stood. He would not interact. They read him reasonable doubt again and again. He asked for the judge to come read it one more time. They said, no, we have it in front of us.

And then she dropped the line that ended everything and just explains everything.

But he had the hardest time. Imagine that getting off the fact that Lindsay viciously killed her children.

What a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty good man. That was not a flaw in the holdout. That was the assignment.

SPEAKER_1 (2:43)

Just set fire, grab your Bible.

Jason Whitlock (2:47)

Lindsay Clancy strangled her three children, Cora, Dawson and Colin, and tried to finish herself. She admitted the killings. The fight in that room was never, did she do it? The fight was whether a room full of adults would let, she snapped and she loved them, erase what she did.

Nine women, three men. A majority that wanted a hall pass, one man who would not sign it. When the case deadlocked, the cameras did not hunt the truth, they hunted him. Arrogant, wouldn't interact, wouldn't budge. Hardest time getting off the fact, she viciously killed her children.

Of course he did. That fact is the case. Empathy can be holy. Empathy can also be toxic. In that jury room, it went toxic. The loudest empathy in those interviews did not land on three dead kids. It landed on the woman who killed them.

Journals, mother-in-law, she loved them so much, so she had to have snapped. That is not deliberation. That is a rescue mission for the defendant dressed up as justice. Take a listen.

SPEAKER_5 (4:08)

We weren't trying to figure out if she murdered the children. She did. And she's admitting that. We're trying to figure out, did she know right from wrong at that time? And with everybody saying she loved her children so much, and everything proved she loved her children, from her journals to her mother-in-law.

Everything proved that she loved her children, so she had to have snapped.

Jason Whitlock (4:37)

Hey, lady, love is not a defense to strangulation.

A mother's tears do not untie a ligature. She snapped is not a verdict, it is a slogan. And when a juror treats the bodies as the obstacle to her preferred ending, she has already chosen a side, and it is not the children's. They mock the holdout for staying with the bodies. They should have thanked him. He was the only adult in the room who refused to negotiate with a corpse count.

Watch the language, entertaining defense attorney, arrogant holdout, compassionate towards Lindsay, frustration walks to the cart, name calling. They can't say on TV, a man who would not perform their group therapy. They did not describe a juror chasing evidence. They described a jury chasing consensus and resenting the man who would not join the circle. Watch these jurors are telling on themselves on camera.

SPEAKER_5 (5:43)

After we watched that video of the interview, I think that's when it was, he admitted he had reasonable doubt, and I started filling out the forms. I was so excited. I actually, there were three forms I had to fill out and I started filling them out. I wrote my signature on each one. And then he said, but I'm still not gonna say that she's not guilty by reason of insanity.
