Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on SiriusXM channel 111 every weekday at noon East.
Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. We are coming to you live to cover the dramatic developments in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial this morning, where a verdict may now hinge on a single holdout juror. And what's going to happen to that juror, we do not know.
Reporting to you from the beach where I was planning on a more casual day. Okay, the jury is about to be brought in to the courtroom, which we will take live. You won't miss it. But first, let's get you up to speed on yesterday's dramatic developments. It started around 3 p.m. The jury, four persons, sending a note to the court indicating that one juror is refusing allegedly to follow the judge's instructions on the legal standard for reasonable doubt. It's important to point out, we do not know for sure which way the jury is leaning. Neither does the judge, the prosecution or defense. We believe, we haven't seen the actual note, but nothing communicated in court yesterday would suggest the jury has in any way tipped its hand as to which way any number of them might be leaning. Judge William Sullivan immediately calling a sidebar, which was not shown in the live court feed. Per courtroom reporters inside the courtroom, Lindsay Clancy's attorney, Kevin Reddington, was seen slamming down paperwork and reacting with physical anger. At times, Judge Sullivan was heard raising his voice.
At one point, Reddington was said to have put his head in his hands out of frustration, and there was another moment where Lindsay Clancy herself was wheeled over to the sidebar, up to the judge's bench, to participate in the discussion. In the end, Judge Sullivan individually questioned the jurors. We believe that the questions were, can you be fair? Can you follow the law? Very generic stuff. And then he re-read to them in open court, this part we heard, his instructions on reasonable doubt, the ones he'd already read prior to their deliberation, and he sent the jurors back to resume deliberations. After the jury left the courtroom, Kevin Reddington stood up again and asked the judge to remove the juror who's allegedly refusing to follow the instructions on reasonable doubt, arguing that the person was not properly applying the law and even taking shots at the judge himself.

**Kevin Reddington** (3:28)
Thank you, Your Honor. I appreciate that.
I appreciate the fact, Your Honor, that you're allowing us to be heard in public rather than at the sidebar. The court has an instruction from the foreperson of that juror that's been working for a week now, saying that there's one juror who refuses to listen to the law that you've given him or her on reasonable doubt.
And I suggest respectfully that the soft instruction that you gave them saying at the sidebar, can you listen to the law as I instruct you, does not focus on the issue. It is the question is not sufficient enough. It does not allow any foundation for a motion to remove the juror who refuses to accept your instructions on the law on reasonable doubt. And if we come back here in a half an hour with a mistrial because of a juror that has just spurned the instructions of this court, it's a shame. It's a real shame. And that's why I object to the court's ruling. I request that we have further inquiry. I request that my motion is to remove this juror that refuses to listen to your instruction on reasonable doubt.

It's such a mystery because he wants that juror gone, but we do not know that this juror is for the prosecution. We don't know whether he's against Lindsay Clancy. How is Kevin Reddington so sure that this juror needs to go? What if that juror is the lone holdout for his side? This dominated much of our discussion yesterday when this news broke, and I have to tell you, I'm no more clear on it this morning than I was yesterday. Judge Sullivan refused to bounce the juror, calling this a sensitive undertaking, and it is indeed. And noting that the jurors had individually affirmed to him that they could follow his instructions. Kevin Reddington later telling lawyers that this morning, this is after court in a scrum yesterday, saying that this morning, at 9 a.m., any minute now, Judge Sullivan will conduct an inquiry into this holdout juror. How is that going to go? Is this juror going to be questioned at an open court?
