Justice in Jeopardy: The Sanctity of the Judicial System Under Siege The recent allegations against Dawn Light, a 56 year old retired nurse accused of attempting to intimidate jurors in the high profile Lindsay Clancy trial, have sent shockwaves through the judicial system.
This case may seem like an isolated incident on the surface, but it's a symptom of a far more insidious problem: the erosion of trust between citizens and the institutions that are meant to serve them.
Light's actions, as alleged by police, were brazen and poorly thought out. She attempted to photograph jurors from her vehicle in the courthouse parking lot, claiming she was waiting for Lindsay Clancy.
