We open with Sean Farash and Dan Borowski, a running Bradley Cooper joke and immediate anticipation over the Lindsay Clancy jury dispute. Before getting there, a British Guinness theft gives us an early detour through 70,000 missing pints, Australian broadcasting, Vegemite, Men at Work, Toto and an old Joe Biden beer clip.
The news turns local when we learn that the Deptford Walmart hazmat scare comes from a damaged can of insect spray that continuously discharges under shelving, sending 19 people to hospitals. We move into the Shapiro-Garrity gubernatorial debate, Garrity’s unfamiliarity with Flock cameras, privacy concerns surrounding license-plate readers and Sean Duffy’s $13.3 million SEPTA railcar announcement. Phil Omquist also gets us through Phillies-Braves, Dianna Russini and Mike Vrabel, Mark Sanchez’s planned guilty plea and Penn State’s opener against Marshall.
The final stretch belongs to Lindsay Clancy. Sean and Dan react to the apparent lone holdout before Linda Kearns joins us to explain why jurors are not supposed to consider civil litigation, how Massachusetts defines reasonable doubt and why the defense attorney’s confidence suggests that people inside the courtroom may know how the jury is split. We also examine the possibility of an insanity verdict, lesser charges and whether the judge’s handling of individual jurors could become an issue.
