Legal analyst Jonathan Turley condemned Reddington\u2019s actions, describing them as unprofessional and hazardous because they publicly incited hostility and perhaps endangered the juror&#8217;s safety. Turley emphasized that such behavior undermines the justice system by discouraging jurors from dissenting freely and exposes them to retaliation.

He also called Reddington out on his gloating \u201cabout how he \u2018crushed\u2019 the prosecution.\u201d While neither of these is a good look for Clancy\u2019s attorney, these were merely secondary issues.<\/p>\n<p>The primary concern was about how Reddington spoke with reporters concerning the one juror who prevented a \u201cnot guilty\u201d verdict. \u201c[The other jurors] know that they were robbed by one man,\u201d he said. \u201cI hope that guy can sleep well at night.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was taking that rage outside the courthouse that crossed the line for me,\u201d Turley said.<\/p>\n<p>Zealously advocating for your client is one thing; publicly harassing a juror is another. While Reddington never revealed the juror\u2019s identity, Turley pointed out that there were \u201cjust three males on the jury. [Reddington] knew the juror\u2019s name would likely be disclosed in time, given the anger over the trial\u2019s outcome.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It appears as though Turley\u2019s prediction will likely come true. Over the past couple of days, many of the other jurors have taken to popular media, sharing their frustration with the holdout juror.<\/p>\n<p>But they\u2019re not just sharing frustration; they\u2019re also sharing identifying features. Friday morning, jury member Paula Devlin revealed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/lindsay-clancy-juror-mistrial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CBS News<\/a> that this juror was a black male in his 30s. It\u2019s only a matter of time before more and more information leaks out.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s appalling when an attorney begins to stir up public hatred for a public servant.<\/p>\n<p>This is why Turley rightly called Reddington\u2019s actions \u201crepugnant and unprofessional venting\u201d and said that he should be \u201creaffirming the right of every juror to stand with their convictions against not just the other jurors, but the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The reason such behavior is \u201crepugnant\u201d isn\u2019t just about some arbitrary professionalism \u2014 it\u2019s about safety. \u201cHe put a target on [the juror],\u201d said Turley, describing Reddington\u2019s outburst as \u201coutrageous and reckless\u201d and a \u201cremarkably dangerous thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the main concern: Blaming the juror rather than the woman who strangled her three children encourages delusional feminists to take matters into their own hands.<\/p>\n<p>Call the president a fascist, and someone tries to kill him \u2014 saved only by a turn of the head. Call a mainstream political organizer a Nazi, and a radical leftist murders him in front of his children. Accuse a regular person of targeting an innocent woman; blowback is guaranteed.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day, this issue is about the protection of the judicial process. Jurors need to feel free to hold dissenting views without facing extrajudicial retaliation.<\/p>\n<p>When officers of the court incite public outrage against individual jurors, they undermine the protective guarantees essential to a fair trial by jury.<\/p>\n<p>We do not want to live in a world where unpopular jurors are doxxed, threatened, or worse. Such is the world Reddington is building.<\/p>\n<p>This is why Turley closes his response with these words: \u201cYes, that is indeed reprehensible. To paraphrase Mr. Reddington, it is the type of thing that would keep most of us up at night.\u201d<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #171717; display: flex;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 600;line-height: 1.5;margin: 24px 0;padding: 18px 20px 18px 30px;text-align: left;\">\n<div style=\"align-self: stretch;border-left: 3px solid #171717;flex-shrink: 0;padding-left: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/\">Choose The Western Journal as your preferred source on Google and never miss reporting that defends truth, protects freedom, and advances Western civilization<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"border: 1px solid #f5f5f5; padding: 16px;\">Advertise with The Western Journal and reach millions of highly engaged readers, while supporting our work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/advertise-us\/?wj_source=article\">Advertise Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey == typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts = { \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs = [ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
