It’s been a very chaotic few minutes in the Lindsay Clancy courtroom. <\/p>\n

If you’re just joining us, here’s what happened.<\/p>\n

A short while ago, we got word that the jury had sent a note to the judge. That could mean anything – from a simple question to a verdict. It turned out to be neither.<\/p>\n

One by one, the judge called each juror in and made them affirm they could still carry out their duties.<\/p>\n

Eventually, he brought them in as a group and explained the legal rules of reasonable doubt, meaning the highest standard of proof is needed to convict someone in a criminal case. After that, the group was sent back to deliberate. <\/p>\n

Clancy’s attorney Kevin Reddington spoke in court, disclosing that the note from the jury reportedly said one juror was not following the judge’s instructions regarding reasonable doubt. He called the judge’s instructions “soft” and urged him to remove the juror in question. Prosecutors said they had no issue with how the judge handled the situation. <\/p>\n

Ultimately, the judge said he did not want to interfere with the jury. So after 36 hours, deliberations continue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wait, what just happened?published at 21:06 BST 21:06 BST Sakshi VenkatramanUS reporter It’s been a very chaotic few…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":758957,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-758956","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/758956","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=758956"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/758956\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/758957"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=758956"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=758956"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=758956"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
