The Lindsay Clancy case has moved from a deadlocked jury to a fight over what the judge should do with the record that deadlock created. This combined episode includes our discussion before the September 29 hearing with defense attorney Bob Motta, followed by special commentary explaining what happened in the Rule 25 hearing and the defense effort to un-impound juror information.
After the September 4 mistrial, jurors publicly described an 11-to-1 split favoring not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility. Foreperson Roni Carlson said the lone holdout acknowledged reasonable doubt but would not join that verdict. Nick Dargie said the holdout could not identify evidence supporting his position. Those reports gave the defense a new question to press: whether the mistrial was necessary at all, and whether more inquiry into the juror should have happened first.
At the September 29 hearing, Kevin Reddington renewed a Rule 25 request for a required finding of not guilty. He argued the prosecution's evidence was legally insufficient and sharply criticized the investigation. Prosecutor Shanan Buckingham answered that the Commonwealth had presented enough evidence to support the charges and noted that the defense had accepted key stipulations during trial.
A separate fight came from appellate attorney Martin Weinberg, who asked for access to sealed jury notes and sidebar material connected to the deadlock. The defense says those records may support its double-jeopardy argument by showing what the judge knew about the holdout before declaring a mistrial. Prosecutors warned against exposing deliberative material in a way that could chill future juries.
Judge William Sullivan left the major questions open and set November 2 for further proceedings. Bob Motta explains the practical difference between Rule 25, double jeopardy, juror misconduct claims, and a motion to unseal - four paths that are now converging on the same unresolved question: can this case be tried again?

Bryan Kohberger wants to withdraw the guilty plea that spared him a death-penalty trial, and his new challenge reaches back to what his own lawyers privately told the judge weeks before that plea. The now-unsealed filing says Anne Taylor’s team believed Kohberger was struggling to understand adverse rulings and rationally evaluate the case as a whole.
That is not the same as a finding that Kohberger was incompetent. His attorneys expressly denied incompetence while asking Judge Steven Hippler for additional time to investigate the problem and obtain expert assistance. Hippler denied the request on June 26, 2025. Six days later, Kohberger admitted the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin and pleaded guilty to burglary as well. 
The post-conviction petition tells a different story from the plea hearing. Kohberger now alleges his attorneys pressured him, made promises about prison life, and failed to disclose evidence. At the plea hearing, however, he told Hippler he understood the consequences, was not being forced, and was pleading guilty because he was guilty. 
His evidence claim involving hair found in Ethan Chapin’s hand also has a pre-plea record. Defense expert Ruth Ballard examined a hair from that location and concluded it was morphologically consistent with Chapin’s own reference hair. Taylor filed that analysis before the plea agreement was signed. 
Tony Brueski and defense attorney Eric Faddis examine what a court does with those competing records, why the competency distinction matters, and what the October 15 fight over Judge Hippler could mean before the larger evidentiary hearing scheduled for June 2027.

Caleb Flynn told police there were no problems in his marriage. Trial testimony gave jurors a very different record: a long-running affair, repeated promises of divorce, messages about wanting Ashley Flynn gone, and more than 100,000 communications with Alleigha Botner. 
The contrast is the center of this combined episode. Botner testified that Flynn repeatedly said he would leave Ashley but kept delaying. In one exchange, he described the job, home, income, and family time he said he would sacrifice for Botner, then asked her to prove she was willing to do anything for love. He followed that demand by insisting he was not trying to manipulate her. Other messages turned darker, including statements about hating Ashley, wanting her dead, and thinking through ways to kill her without going to jail. 
Hours after Ashley was found shot, Detective Mike Morgan interviewed Flynn. His phone contained no messages from his wife. Flynn said he deletes messages to save storage. He volunteered two possible outside suspects and told Morgan his marriage had no problems “whatsoever.” Tony Brueski and former FBI behavioral expert Robin Dreeke examine what investigators hear when a suspect arrives with explanations and alternatives already prepared — while keeping behavior analysis separate from proof. 
Flynn’s attorneys argued that an unknown intruder killed Ashley and emphasized the absence of a recovered murder weapon or eyewitness to the shooting. They argued the messages showed infidelity and toxic talk, not murder. Prosecutors presented the texts alongside digital and physical evidence. On September 29, 2026, a jury convicted Flynn on all charged counts and firearm specifications. He is scheduled to be sentenced October 5. The interrogation now reads against a verdict — and against the written record jurors had in front of them.

Between 2010 and 2020, the federal government filed 412 cyberstalking cases across the entire United States. Roughly 40 a year. The overall federal conviction rate exceeds 90 percent. Prosecutors pick the cases they expect to win.
JP Miller is one of those cases. A federal grand jury in South Carolina indicted the Myrtle Beach pastor in December 2025 on two counts — cyberstalking and making false statements to federal investigators. The indictment alleges a course of conduct from November 2022 until the day Mica Miller died on April 27, 2024. The North Carolina medical examiner ruled her death a suicide.
JP pleaded not guilty in January 2026. Since then, his defense team has filed six motions for continuance. Prosecutors consented to all six.
Judge Joseph Dawson III signed every order. JP voluntarily waived his right to a speedy trial. The trial is now set for January 2027.
Prosecutors allege JP tracked Mica's location, sent floods of unwanted messages, posted a private photograph, and tampered with her vehicle. Mica called police seven times. Officers responded every time. When Mica was involuntarily hospitalized in February 2024, JP allegedly showed up and took her purse and car keys.
In January 2027, Mica's Law — the coercive control bill her family championed — is expected to be reintroduced. The bill stalled in the South Carolina legislature in 2026.
JP Miller is free on $100,000 unsecured bond. He remarried thirteen months after Mica's death. He preaches at pop-up locations around Myrtle Beach. The system moved — and it's still waiting.

Caleb Flynn was convicted of aggravated murder. The jury took under three hours. We're asking whether civil court could reach the woman who spent eighteen months reading Flynn's death texts and said nothing — his mistress Alleigha Botner. This episode also covers two bombshell developments in the Lindsay Clancy case: Kevin Reddington's Rule 25 motion claiming there's no evidence Clancy killed her children, and his demand to investigate the lone holdout juror who prevented an acquittal. Flynn has been convicted. Clancy has pleaded not guilty. All individuals discussed are presumed innocent of any uncharged conduct until proven guilty.
