What Happens to the One Juror Who Said No?What Happens to the One Juror Who Said No?

[00:30] And it's about a man in Massachusetts whose name I won't say because keeping his name out of it is the entire point of this. A week ago, the Lindsay Clancy trial ended in a mistrial. The jury deadlocked. Well, one juror deadlocked the jury. There's a hearing on September 29th to sort out what happens next. And I'm not here tonight to argue the verdict question. This segment isn't about whether the holdout juror was right. Okay. The holdout juror was absolutely 100%. He was 100% right. This was murder. This was a serial killing. Three kids are dead. After the mistrial, a fellow juror went on television and identified the holdout as the only black member of the jury. I'm curious about the jurors themselves because we know it was nine women, three men. What was the age range? What was the racial makeup? I haven't heard any of that. What was it? Um, 70, 70 ish to 22. And, um, one person of color and then everybody else was white.

[01:37] Um, a lot of the jurors had children. Uh-huh. One person of color was a person of color, a woman or a man, a man, a man is a holdout juror, a person, a black man. Yes. A black man is a holdout juror. Yes.

[01:56] Well, I'll have to sit with that for just a second. And then a major Boston news operation went to work on doxing this man. They contacted his family. They contacted his former wife. They contacted his landlord, his employer. They pulled his personal court records. And the only reason you don't know his name is that the court keeps the jury list sealed. I'm not going to repeat one word of what they claim they dug up because repeating it finishes the job that they started. They didn't go out and dox the other jurors who have criminal records by the way. They didn't go out and dox the other jurors who have criminal records by the way. He wasn't the only one. Allegedly, this man didn't volunteer. He was summoned. He sat for weeks through the worst evidence a human being could ask to hear and a case about the death of three young kids. He deliberated and he voted his conscience. That's not a malfunction of the jury system. That is the jury system. It's the whole job description.

[02:47] You can believe he got it wrong and you can still see that this cannot stand because the next 12 jurors are watching. If the lesson of this case is that voting the unpopular, get your family called, get you doxed, get your past printed in the newspaper, then no honest person can ever safely serve on a hard case or a publicized case again because you'll be outed. You'll be doxed if you vote against the mob, if you vote against the cult, if you vote against the left. And every future juror holdout knows the price in advance. This is very dangerous. Massachusetts law makes it a crime to intimidate, harass, or retaliate against the law. If you vote against the law, you're going to be outed. That statute exists for this exact very moment. And even Kevin Reddington's wife got in on it on social media. And yet we're watching the left dox the long holdout juror in real time, regardless of the law. I've spent my time in Congress writing laws to stop people's private lives from being turned into weapons against them.

[03:51] I did it for victims of abuse, victims of voyeurism, victims of assault, victims of rape. I did it for victims of abuse, victims of voyeurism, and I'll say the same thing here. We conscript 12 strangers to sit in judgment because we don't trust the government to do it alone. At the price of an unpopular jury verdict is your family getting called by the press, your past dredged up on social media, and your landlord on the news. No honest man ever holds out again. And that's the point. That man was railroaded. I see you're not following me. Hit the follow button now.
