Question for the defense.
Doesn't the request for a pardon imply guilt?
It's generally a bad practice to execute lawyers along with their clients, no matter how sleazy those lawyers might be, but in this case, one must wonder if we should make an exception.
Last week, Reddington was criticized for informing the media that there was a lone jury holdout, indicating that the holdout was male, and trying to remove the holdout from the case.
Many people interpreted this as jury intimidation so Clancy could get a "not guilty" verdict for methodically and systematically choking the life out of her three young kids.
He is now making the circuit on national TV to make a circus out of the ongoing legal proceedings.

Dittos on that bingo. The sleezy lawyer is trying to help the dems win the midterms. Hopefully Trump doesnt take the bait.
Strangle her. Do unto others as they have done right.
Say what you will, but, if you’re on trial for your life, you want an utterly shameless sleazebag like Reddington on your side.
Not a Federal crime. No Presidential pardon is available. A lawyer should know that. He’s being dramatic.
I get vigorously defending your client but what this jackass did during and especially after it was declared a mistrial were sanctionable actions IMO.
At the post trial press conference he did everything he could to disparage the one juror who disented from the other 11 and did everything he could to identify who he was stopping just short of saying the man’s name.
He’s a despicable individual as far as I’m concerned.
Actually you should be right. I think you are. A President shouldn’t be able to get involved in individual states murder trials.
“”Actually you should be right. I think you are. A President shouldn’t be able to get involved in individual states murder trials.””

Well....”should be right” is nowhere near that “being right”, unfortunately. In this era of up is down, wrong is right...
that ship has sailed (sunk, rotting at the bottom of the Mariana Trench).
Correct - even the silence of Trump will be construed as ‘un-caring’ and ‘misogynistic’ - doesn’t matter if the complainers understand the reality of the situation.
President Trump spoke about the trial after it was declared a mistrial.......of course what he said wasn’t sympathetic to the defendant so yeah, orange man still bad.
“Doesn’t a pardon require a guilty verdict” before a pardon can be handed down. And yes, I believe so.”
What about Sniffy’s preemptive pardons for Fauci and Hunter?
Really? I thought she was disgraceful in the Casey Anthony case a few years ago to the point that I usually refer to her as “Nancy Disgrace”.
Not true. According to AI, Biden issued
"One pardon for Hunter Biden; five pardons for family members: his siblings James and Francis Biden, their spouses Sara Biden and John Owens, and Valerie Biden Owens; preemptive pardons for Dr. Anthony Fauci and Gen. Mark Milley; pardons covering the members and staff of the House January 6 committee. So, depending on whether one counts individual recipients or pardon documents, the total is generally described as roughly two dozen people in the final-day pardons, plus Hunter Biden’s earlier pardon. These pardons applied to possible past federal offenses—not future lawbreaking."
Apparently preemptive pardons may be handed down, but it's not clear if they will hold up in court.
I Read somewhere here on FR that Presidents at one time did pardon state crimes. President Trump did Pardon Tina Peterson and the Colorado Governor followed by Pardoning or communing her sentence. This probably means that he and the Ds did not want a challenge of the pardon being sent to the SC.
Much of the nonsense can be traced back to poor quality prosecution. The trial process has a huge number of opportunities for both the defense and prosecution to bias the outcome one way or the other.
And if one side or the other doesn’t take advantage of these, typically due to incompetence, the result is injustice.
An 11-1 for acquittal in this case strongly suggests that the prosecution team fumbled badly and a lot.
I do hope Trump ignores this guy and mentions nothing. I think talking about it from the President would spoil any chances of another trial because it would taint the jury pool. Reddington POS is up to no good with this.
How can Trump pardon a state crime? Is he actually that dumb?
Well, no, but he thinks you are.
Trump pardoned Petersen of any possible following federal charges. So he could in theory do the same here. But it doesn’t change Clancy’s current situation at all.
Yeah I care more about what the CHILDREN went through
Ask Fauci
