Latest / Your Leo Nation / The Clancy Mistrial and the Lone Juror | Chief Mark Garrett
Transcript
- Mark Garrett: Welcome to your Leonation, where we believe in and support the rule of law. You know, this is over thirty years ago, the O. J. Simpson trial, acquittal. And today, recently, we've had the Linty Clancy hung jury mistrial. They are very different, but in some ways very similar. and very important in my opinion to the heart of American culture and the spirit of the American culture. This is an example of the OJ jury being out for blood. Being out for retribution, being out for payback, as what many of them on the jury saw as racial injustice in America. And I think specifically in this case, as you'll hear in the next clip from this documentary, O.J. made in America, for the Rodney King incident that happened about four years earlier. I worked those riots as a new California highway patrol officer in Los Angeles. This what was on the mind of many of those jurors. Again, it was payback. And to make that point, take a listen to this next clip from one of the jurors. You think that they're members of the jury that voted to acquit OJ because of Rodney King? Yes. You do? Yes. How many of you think felt that way? ⁓ probably ninety percent. Ninety percent? Did you feel that way? Yes. That was payback. Mm-hmm. You think that's right? I don't know, who cares? We got payback. We got retribution for what happened to Rodney King and so many other black people in this country. We didn't care if we let a double murderer go. It's clearly the mindset of this lady in the jury, and it looks like, according to her, many of the other ones and then the remaining went along with the pressure. You fast forward and you think about pressure with the Lindsey Clancy trial. And the one juror, the one juror who stood his ground, some say he violated the judge's orders. I don't know if he did or didn't. But did these jurors for the OJ Simpson case violate the judge's order and their oath? Clearly they did. Clearly they did. You know, it's funny, I didn't really cover, I didn't cover it all, didn't talk about the Lindsay Clanty case. True crime, it's every place. It's ubiquitous in the news. I just didn't get into it. We can talk about the legalities of in Massachusetts about insanity, manslaughter, secondary murder, first degree murder, what her motives were. Was she insane? Was she capable of doing that? Was she in control of all those things? And maybe I will talk about them. Watching the last few weeks, the last couple of weeks, the last week since the hung jury has really gotten under my skin in a more global sense. And that is what is the spiritual state of America today? Why do I ask that? Because you see the people now supporting, and they have been supporting for months. And beyond that, Lindsey Clancy. A woman who admitted to, and everyone knows that she strangled her three children to death. And you have these thousands and thousands of supporters, mostly women, almost entirely women, and women who are saying, ⁓ that could have been me with postpartum stress and so forth and depression. That could have been me. This is not only sick. I believe that it's truly evil, what we're seeing. We're not saying, we're not seeing people saying, well, she certainly should have been convicted of this. She has to be held accountable. She can never be in society again. We're not seeing that from these people that are supporting her. They're saying that she should be set free, that she's not responsible for her actions. And they're angry with the one holdout juror. Do you know why? Because he said he could not get over the fact that she murdered her own children. That's why they're angry with him. I give this man absolute kudos, absolute admiration for standing his ground against eleven other people who I believe most likely. Have been exposed to social media, have let themselves get exposed to the media, and decided to give in under public pressure. Maybe not all of them, but a good number of them are cowards. And this man is not. Listen to him in his own words. Hi, my name is Michael Peggy Deswanville, also known as the Long Juror. I know the whole focus has been on me. But we want to reel everything back and put the focus on the three angels that is that's at hand. The ones that can't speak for themselves, the ones that can't defend themselves, and the ones that can't fight the battles. And those are Cora, Dawson, and Callan. A little bit about me. I want to thank God for my Catholic faith. I want to thank God for blessing me with the ability to love my daughter. And I'm Foremost, I would like to thank everyone, every individual that have supported me throughout this difficult situation. Your prayers, your emotional support, your psychological support is a tremendous to my heart that I feel, that I sense, that I know. I do want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you. Thank you, Michael. For being a warrior, a man of your convictions, and a man of God. God bless men and other people like him who show courage under fire.
