New: The holdout juror’s attorney responds to Reddington’s court motion calling for an investigation into the juror including subpoenaing his cellphone records.
The Looney Tunes motion filed yesterday by Kevin "Shooter McGavin" Reddington to investigate Michael is not just an attack on Michael for being the courageous lone holdout juror. Reddington's motion is actually a full-frontal attack on the U.S. Constitution. Because if the new normal is that jurors are going to face brutal reprisals for disagreeing with a defense attorney, you can kiss the Sixth Amendment goodbye.
To anyone who thinks that Reddington's motion is OK, just remember that the tables will inevitably turn. Imagine a similar trial sometime in the not too distant future where it is the reverse scenario: 11-1 in favor of guilty, with one holdout favoring not guilty by reason of insanity. I doubt you folks would be alright if the District Attorney then filed a motion to investigate that lone holdout standing in the way of a conviction.
That's why this is actually not a partisan issue. Really, this is a "do we still want to have a Sixth Amendment" issue. If you are like me and believe steadfastly in the Constitution, it's easy to see how, regardless of your party affiliation, this is an absolutely terrible path of ruin Reddington wants to take us down.
If we follow his destructive proposal to its logical conclusion, we're going to have an endless cycle of prosecutors investigating holdouts who oppose "guilty" and defense attorneys investigating holdouts who oppose "not guilty." Pretty soon we'll end up with with a retrograde justice system that will look a lot like the Hatfield-McCoy Feud: a cycle of carnage so malignant that its origins will fade in importance, replaced by the hopeless death spiral of the cycle itself.
Kevin Reddington's disgusting motion to investigate Michael is worthy of nothing but universal condemnation. This is certainly not the final word from us on this subject, but merely our first words. It's all going to backfire spectacularly on sore loser Reddington.

NEW: Attorney Martin Weinberg has filed a 34 page motion on behalf of Lindsay Clancy asking the court to dismiss all three murder indictments against her on double jeopardy grounds. Weinberg argues, in part, the judge did not exhaust all options before declaring a mistrial. There was no "manifest necessity."
"In these circumstances, counsel submits that Ms. Clancy should not be "forced to run the gantlet" again, "enhancing the possibility that even though innocent she may be found guilty."
Weinberg argues the judge should have questioned the foreperson and the juror about the reports that the holdout juror was refusing to apply the reasonable doubt instruction. The questioning could have led to the juror's removal, an alternate being seated and deliberations continuing.

UPDATE: An Amtrak construction crew accidentally cut into a fiber line in New Jersey which caused a telecom outage and forced FAA to pause flights in the Northeast.
Right now:
- Flights are resuming at LGA and PHL
- Flights into EWR, JFK, and Teterboro Airport are paused
This incident underscores the need for additional funding to modernize aging infrastructure and prevent disruptions like this in the future.
Follow @FAANews for updates.
Community note
Amtrak and NJ Transit stated the cable was cut by a NJ Transit contractor on their property, not an Amtrak crew. The outage started with failure of an aging primary circuit; the cut affected only the backup line.

Trump just reaffirmed his intention to ban CNN, Politico, and MS NOW from the White House. Such a move would be an assault on long-honored principles of a free press. I have often joined in the criticism over the bias of these outlets, but barring disfavored media from the White House is a terrible precedent and practice...

Lindsay Clancy Attorney Kevin Reddington responds to @NancyMace comments that Clancy should be publicly executed:
“Nancy Mace does not know this case, has never seen the evidence, and has never sat in that courtroom. Lindsay Clancy has not been convicted of anything, and Massachusetts has not had a death penalty in more than forty years. A congresswoman from South Carolina calling for a public execution is not law. It is a stunt, and its only purpose is to inflame the public against a woman whose case is still before the Court. I will deal with that in court, not on television. My client was a mother suffering from postpartum psychosis. That is what this case is about, and that is where my attention stays."

"Only women can go through post-partum psychosis. Only women could deliver a baby. That's not biased. That's just a fact."
Lindsay Clancy juror Paula Devlin is pushing back against claims of bias in a new interview, telling Fox News Digital that jurors reached their decisions based on the evidence introduced at trial while explaining she had strong feelings about mental health as a whole.
"We didn't know what was going on outside of that room, but we knew that we had a chance to get a conversation started that could change something, that could maybe stop this from ever happening again," she says. "I think, that's one of the reasons why we feel — or I feel — so strongly about this is that. I hope that no other woman or husband has to go through this."

The prevailing view of so much of the young left in America is that we’re the worst country ever, so if someone attacks us, they can’t be all bad.

Twenty-five years after 9/11, officials, families and former presidents will gather to honor those killed in the attacks.
Moments of silence will also recognize people who have died from related illnesses.
Nearly 160,000 people are registered with the World Trade Center Health Program, and about 9,000 deaths have been linked to 9/11-related illnesses, including cancer caused by toxic dust.

Twenty-five years ago, everything changed.
This is dedicated to the first responders who made the ultimate sacrifice, and to the lives we lost and continue to lose to World Trade Center–related illnesses.
We will never forget.
