Two distinct dramas unfolded simultaneously on Tuesday, each probing the limits of human systems built to contain conflict. In a Massachusetts courtroom, four days of jury deliberation in the Lindsay Clancy case have yielded no verdict, leaving justice suspended between consensus and impasse. Across the world stage, President Trump issued an unambiguous warning to Iran against retaliating for a U.S. military strike — a reminder that the machinery of law and the machinery of power often run in parallel, each straining toward resolution by its own uncertain logic.
