Questioning a holdout juror is extremely rare in U.S. courts!

Judges can question jurors refusing to deliberate in good faith — but it's delicate: too much pressure can violate a defendant's right to a fair jury. Trial attorneys like Austin parse exactly that line.

Clancy's attorney Kevin Reddington has defended killers for 40+ years.

Reddington, a Plymouth, MA-based attorney, is one of New England's most prominent criminal defense lawyers. He previously defended Neil Entwistle, convicted of murdering his wife and infant daughter in 2008.
