Given the lack of forensic evidence and proper investigation the defense took the approach they thought would work,

he really did not have a choice once the Judge denied the request to separate the trials.

This is not legal analysis but just personal thinking, I do think she thought she had done it...but I think now, as she recovers she probably remembers more.

This is a complete miscarriage of justice.

The Ex husband has really skated by up to this point because he threw a couple hundred dollars at her Lawyer Redington and bought his silence until ex-hubby refused to continue paying retainer.....(Which can get really expensive in a hurry for guilty clients....just ask my ex wife about why she was constantly changing attorneys....ha ha ha.)
Lying to the press is one thing.....lying before the judge in court is another.....and retainers do not cover one of the two.

But honestly the prosecution was asleep at the wheel and got railroaded by Redington....even an average attorney could have won this one. But with a huge ego maniac like Redington? Fuhgetaboutit.....

He accused that juror or lying and contributed to his being doxed. That should fulfill the requirements for a civil suit. Whether or not he wins would be up to the trial.

The defense lawyer petitioned the judge to replace the juror with one of the backups for the reason that, based on jury deliberation notes he asserted the juror had lied under oath during jury selection; and that he was refusing to follow the law regarding the definition of "proof beyond a reasonable doubt".

When a jury note explicitly alleges that a juror is refusing to follow the law or the court's explicit instructions, it is standard legal procedure for an attorney to raise an objection and move for a mistrial or a juror's replacement. As you know, in our 'adversarial legal system', defense attorneys have a constitutional duty to zealously advocate for their client.

Also, that one juror cannot sue the defense lawyer for accusing him of lying. Our US judicial system has 'absolute litigation privilege' which provides unconditional immunity from civil lawsuits for statements made during court proceedings.

The juror, lawyers or country prosecutors can however seek a gag order or make a complaint to the bar.

I'll note again... I'm not asserting L Clancy is guilty or innocent of anything. I'd just like to remind people the D lawyer is doing what he's required to do, these are our Constitutional rights and protections and the way our adversarial legal system is meant to work.
