Lindsay Clancy’s Jury Got Rules That Contradict EACH OTHER?!

Judge William Sullivan read Lindsay Clancy’s jury two instructions that cannot both be followed at the same time. One told them to follow the law whether they agreed with it or not. The other told them the verdict must be the result of their own convictions. Then a 175-year-old dynamite charge told the holdout to reconsider his doubt and also never to surrender his honest conviction.
The jury split 11-1 after about 38 hours. The foreperson says the holdout admitted reasonable doubt and then refused to vote to acquit. Jurors highlighted the printed instructions and read the standard to him over and over. He couldn’t reconcile the law with the form.
The criminal responsibility instruction asks civilians to parse a double-negative legal test the state’s own highest court says is too obscure to explain clearly. The verdict slip carried six options per child across three children. The instructions were written above a twelfth-grade reading level. The average American reads at an eighth-grade level.
Status hearing September 29th. Cruz has not announced whether he’ll retry.
