24:14David GelmanGUEST
But you remember, this is the same judge who ruled in favor of Jim Acosta in 2018 for very similar actions.
Wired In: RNC Day 2 - Midterm Dividends, Charlie Kirk & POTUS Center Stage
48:00

Cabot PhillipsHOST
Is that how unprecedented is that? And what would that mean for this case if it does go to a new trial?
D
48:05David GelmanGUEST
Well, number one, Reddington knows you can't get a pardon because it's not a federal crime.
D
48:12David GelmanGUEST
But what he's really doing is, look, the DA in Massachusetts, in that particular town or county, I should say, is a Republican.
D
48:22David GelmanGUEST
But there is no way that this is not going to be recharged and then there's going to be a resolution, whether another trial or plea or whatever.
Wired In: The Dark Web Threat & Trump the Midterm Savior

Cabot PhillipsHOST
Do you think Lindsey Clancy should be found guilty, given what we've seen in court? And if so, on what charges?
D
25:54David GelmanGUEST
I think the prosecution, look, they have the burden, all right? The burden is on them, which is kind of weird because it's an insanity defense.
D
26:01David GelmanGUEST
In any other state, the burden is actually on the defense, but they have the burden.
D
26:05David GelmanGUEST
And I think they did prove it because they proved it by showing the actions that Lindsay Clancy took, all right? She told her husband, hey, I want you to go get Italian food.

Cabot PhillipsHOST
So as you're watching the defense for Clancy over the last few weeks, what are some things that you think they did well and some things that you would have done differently if you were on her defense team?
Jury Deadlocked
11:56
13:24

Lynden BlakeHOST
When you say debating the charges, are you thinking they're all unanimous saying that, let's say she was in her right mind, but was it second degree, first degree? Or do you mean debating the charges as still debating guilty or not guilty?
D
12:20David GelmanGUEST
Either they're going to hit her with a first degree, or they would hit her with not guilty by reason of insanity.
D
12:28David GelmanGUEST
So, you know, you have a second degree, you have just a plain not guilty, which obviously is not happening, and you have a manslaughter charge.

Lynden BlakeHOST
Are tensions high in a deadlock jury typically if they're not agreeing? Or is this very sophisticated where they're truly just standing on their personal convictions?
Mamdani’s NYC has more sympathy for the criminals than the victims
D
57:04David GelmanGUEST
So the judge, what he'll do is he'll send them back in, but he'll bring them to the courtroom first and he'll say, hey, listen, guys, I'm not trying to coerce you.
D
57:13David GelmanGUEST
Look, if you do not believe that you can come to a resolution and come to a unanimous verdict, then that's fine.
P
59:32Paul MorrowHOST
what you're taking how each side did the defense attorney seemed to do a pretty good job but maybe not at the closing what you think
D
59:39David GelmanGUEST
that well that's exactly it i thought it did a really good job during the whole trial itself but he left some meat on the bone when it came to the actual closing argument and i think the prosecution they pounced on that they really did a good job and look you know you've been in the courtroom a million times if you had the last word you That is huge.
Shakeup In Courtroom
10:19
D
9:23David GelmanGUEST
I think this is purely something where it's just the judge was being told one thing that, look, we're wrapping everything up.

Lynden BlakeHOST
How strong of a case did the defense make this week to say Lindsey Clancy was having a postpartum psychosis episode?
The Tudor Dixon Podcast: Luigi Mangione, Bryan Kohberger & Alex Murdaugh Legal Battles
28:02
D
10:11David GelmanGUEST
So he's saying pretty much, "Listen, my counsel, my attorneys, they didn't provide the proper representation to me.
18 MINS LATER
Tudor DixonHOST
Is there a legal argument to say we can't just put somebody in the hospital and just medicate them to the point of complete psychosis?
The Evidence Against D4VD
13:28
10 MINS LATER

Lynden BlakeHOST
Defense? Well, they could argue that this was self-defense because, again, of those threatening texts allegedly from Celeste.
Can Twiggs be Charged? David Gelman Weighs In
6:27
14:13

Lynden BlakeHOST
But isn't that a little odd that he got confirmation from his roommate and boyfriend that a murder took place and Lance didn't go and say, hey, my roommate here apparently killed Charlie Kirk.
D
6:50David GelmanGUEST
He had information, but he's not an accomplice, at least for the information that we all know.
D
6:56David GelmanGUEST
Because an accomplice, they do some type of an assist with it, whether that's hiding evidence, whether that's just driving to the scene or something like that.
7 MINS LATER

Lynden BlakeHOST
What other arguments or charges really could Lance Twiggs face outside of this use immunity? There's been phrases like an accessory after the fact that's been thrown around.
The GOP civil war for 2028 is already beginning
D
26:04David GelmanGUEST
There's a reason why they're asking for more money, why the budget for the Supreme Court has doubled in 10 years.
D
26:11David GelmanGUEST
There's a reason for that, and it's not because the left is just saying, "Oh, well, we'll, we'll, we'll take this and, you know, we'll figure it out." No, not at all.
D
26:22David GelmanGUEST
They're threatening individuals who they don't believe with or they don't, you know, follow their, their, um, their opinions with.
The Trial of Tyler Robinson: Making the Case Day 5
14:59

Lynden BlakeHOST
Do you think there's anything else they could be thinking about to bring to the table if this goes to trial?
D
15:06David GelmanGUEST
You know, Lyndon, I think those are the two key areas that they're going to really attack DNA.
D
15:12David GelmanGUEST
And look, any trial when there is a DNA involved in it, when you don't you know, there's still a question of who did it.
D
15:21David GelmanGUEST
And that is probably going to be the central premise of their of their defense.
D
15:28David GelmanGUEST
Well, I should say the the shell casing that was found on the other building.

Inside the Trump–Xi Power Summit
D
17:46David GelmanGUEST
If I was a prosecutor, obviously I'd be very upset, but they had to have known this was going to happen.
