The verdict is in—or rather, there isn't one. The Lindsay Clancy trial ends in a mistrial after an 11–1 deadlock, and Joe Pags has serious questions about how it got here. Why wasn't this jury sequestered? Why did the defense reportedly try to remove the lone holdout juror? And is it normal to try to remove a juror simply because they won't agree with everyone else? The phones light up before former Bexar County DA and current defense attorney Nico LaHood joins Pags for Part 1 of an incredible legal breakdown. What could the prosecution or defense have done differently? Who actually requests jury sequestration? What instructions does a judge give jurors, and could the judge individually question them about whether they're following the law? Most importantly, how did 11 jurors end up on one side with just one refusing to move? LaHood takes Pags inside the courtroom strategy and explains what happens next after a case that has left listeners furious.
