Single holdout juror preventing unanimous verdict in Lindsay Clancy trial, defense claims

Lindsay Clancy's defense attorney said a single juror is all that prevents a unanimous verdict in her murder trial. He said the claim came in a note from the foreperson, who said the holdout juror is not following the judge's instructions on "reasonable doubt." The jury of nine women and three men is weighing the question of whether Clancy is criminally responsible for the killing of her three young children.

Fort Hood Shooter's Execution to Be Publicly Livestreamed

The U.S. military plans to livestream the Dec. 3 firing-squad execution of Nidal Hasan, the former Army psychiatrist convicted of killing 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the event will be public, and legal experts say Hasan faces a narrow, rushed path to challenge it in federal courts. Rights groups and experts have raised concerns that broadcasting the execution could endanger minors, who are usually barred from witnessing executions. Social media platforms may also face decisions about whether to allow the livestream on their services.
