True Crime Today
On April 25, 2024, Mica Miller served her husband, Myrtle Beach pastor John-Paul Miller, with divorce papers. Forty-eight hours later she was found dead at a North Carolina state park, in what was ruled a suicide. She had already told a friend that JP threatened to put a bullet in her head and stage it as her own doing. He was verified in Charleston at the time and has never been charged in her death. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott explains why that 48-hour window is the most dangerous point for anyone trying to leave a controlling partner — the moment an abuser's grip is most threatened. The next morning, JP preached a full service to his congregation before saying anything about his wife's death. He later claimed he'd tried to raise her from the dead. Four days after that, he was seen at a bar with congregant Suzie Skinner, whose wheelchair-bound Army veteran husband had drowned in a community pool in September 2021 after confronting JP about an alleged affair. He married Suzie thirteen months later. This pattern reaches back further than most people realize: Mica moved to Myrtle Beach at 15, went to work at Solid Rock Church, and told police JP had controlled her since she was a child. A federal indictment filed in December 2025 alleges seventeen months of cyberstalking, tracking devices, and financial and medical interference. Mica filed at least eight police reports. JP still held healthcare power of attorney over her. His federal trial is scheduled for October 2026.

Twenty minutes. That's how long prosecutors say Lindsay Clancy had after sending her husband Patrick out for a CVS run and Thai takeout — and, they argued, exactly how long it took her to kill their three children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan, in the basement of their Duxbury home. ADA Jennifer Sprague told the jury of nine mothers and three men that timing a pickup order, a pharmacy stop, and three separate acts inside one twenty-minute window proves calculation, not psychosis. The defense pushed back hard: organized behavior and psychosis coexist every day in hospitals across the country, and a woman can plan a takeout run while still being controlled by something she can't fight. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries watched it all unfold from inside the courtroom across five weeks and more than eighty witnesses — close enough to see the jury's reaction in real time and watch Lindsay's demeanor shift through the hardest testimony. He tells Tony Brueski which argument actually carried weight with the parents on that jury. The stakes were personal for millions watching: Lindsay had been prescribed more than a dozen psychiatric medications in the months before, documented her symptoms in a journal, and told multiple providers she was having intrusive thoughts about harming her children. The defense says the medical system failed her. The prosecution says reaching out for help proves she knew exactly what she was doing.

Massachusetts already ran this exact experiment once. Andrea Yates killed her five children, was found not guilty by reason of insanity, and has remained committed for more than twenty years without ever walking out. Defense trial attorney Bob Motta says that precedent is the real story behind the Lindsay Clancy case — not which of the five verdicts the jury eventually lands on. Motta sat through the entire five-week trial and breaks down what each option actually carries: prison with no parole under some outcomes, indefinite psychiatric commitment under others. Lindsay Clancy has already been living that second reality at Tewksbury State Hospital since the day her three children — Cora, Dawson, and Callan — died, paralyzed from the waist down after her own suicide attempt on January 24, 2023, medicated daily, and evaluated once a year. The defense has never disputed the physical facts of that day; the only real fight left is over what was happening in her mind. Motta also breaks down the malpractice lawsuits Lindsay and her husband Patrick filed against her medical providers, and whether the criminal verdict changes anything about those. If the current jury can't agree, defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis says a retrial isn't the only road left. Plymouth County DA Timothy Cruz could pursue one — Massachusetts moved fast on exactly that in the Karen Read case — but Lindsay Clancy could also waive her right to a jury and let a single judge weigh the psychiatric evidence instead of twelve people who couldn't agree on it. Faddis also revisits Kevin Reddington's failed bifurcation motion, which could split any retrial into a guilt phase and a responsibility phase entirely. Two attorneys, two outcomes, and a case where the ending may already be written.

Lindsay Clancy has never denied killing her three children. The entire defense rests on one question: was she psychotic when it happened? But a separate story has taken over parts of the internet — thousands of people insisting her ex-husband Patrick is somehow responsible instead, despite her admission and surveillance footage that places him outside the home. Criminal defense trial attorney Bob Motta, who was in the courtroom and watched Patrick testify, tells Tony Brueski whether any actual evidence supports that theory, and what legal options Patrick has against people spreading it after his divorce from Lindsay and remarriage. From there, the case moved to twelve jurors — nine women, three men — who began deliberating at Plymouth Superior Court on August 27 and went more than three and a half hours without reaching a verdict. They're choosing between five outcomes: first-degree murder, second-degree murder, manslaughter, not criminally responsible, or not guilty. A not-guilty-by-reason-of-insanity verdict doesn't mean Lindsay walks free — it means commitment to a state psychiatric facility with no maximum term. Andrea Yates has been under that kind of commitment for twenty years. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down what each option would mean, and how a jury of mostly mothers weighs a case like this one. Both Lindsay and Patrick have already filed separate lawsuits against her medical providers, setting up a civil case that could reach a very different conclusion than whatever this jury decides.

Jason Goldman just joined Bryan Kohberger's court-appointed defense team, and his first move was telling PEOPLE magazine that everyone should stop assuming they understand the Idaho murders case. He's being paid with public money, in a case that has already cost Idaho taxpayers more than eight million dollars. Here's what's not in dispute: Kohberger confessed on July 2, 2025, in Ada County — four guilty pleas, four lives taken, Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. The judge confirmed it was voluntary. Kohberger gave up his right to appeal. The evidence behind that confession runs deep: a Reddit survey asking real offenders how they picked their targets, peers at Washington State University who flagged him for stalking and intimidating women, cell tower records placing him near the victims' address on roughly two dozen late-night occasions before the attack, and DNA recovered from a knife sheath left beside one of the bodies. Twelve months after sentencing, Kohberger filed a jailhouse petition claiming he'd been tricked into confessing — with no supporting evidence attached. The Goncalves family called him a narcissist. Now a judge has scheduled an evidentiary hearing for June 2027, and Kohberger's own hired forensics expert, Sy Ray, says investigators actually missed MORE incriminating cellphone data — and that the death penalty should be back on the table. So what exactly does Goldman think he's found that changes any of that? A new attorney who hadn't even read the file yet has ten months to answer that question in open court.

Every part of Mica Miller's life ran through one man, and the Netflix documentary “Death of the Pastor's Wife” finally shows how far back that control went. Pastor John-Paul Miller met her when she was a child — fourteen years older, already married, already her pastor. In a police report filed in February 2024, Mica told officers he had been pursuing her since she was ten. His attorney denies it. The documented timeline: JP officiated her first marriage at eighteen, hired her as his personal assistant, began an affair with her while she was babysitting his own kids, and married her himself in 2017. She became his wife, his employee, and his church's worship leader. Friends now allege he demanded compliance from her multiple times a day and wouldn't let her sleep when she refused. They allege he pressured her into taking testosterone that damaged the voice that once led worship at Solid Rock Church. Family attorney Regina Ward alleges JP went further — putting Mica on his own lithium prescription without her knowledge. Siblings allege he then had her involuntarily hospitalized against her will, and while she was locked inside, took her car, phone, and laptop. Federal prosecutors allege an intimate photo from that laptop later appeared online without her consent. JP has pleaded not guilty to federal cyberstalking charges. His trial is scheduled for October 2026. He has since remarried, to a church member whose own husband drowned in a neighborhood pool in 2021. Mica was thirty years old when she died.

Seven days. Thirty-nine hours. Twelve people who could not agree on what happened inside a house on Summer Street — and in the end, that's the verdict. There isn't one. Lindsay Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, stood trial for the January 24, 2023 killings of her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — inside the family's home on Summer Street. Prosecutors allege she strangled the children with exercise resistance bands. She's charged with three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation and pleaded not guilty. Her defense, led by attorney Kevin Reddington, argued severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication left her not criminally responsible. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and has been paralyzed from the waist down ever since. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands when it happened; he's since relocated to Manhattan and spoken publicly about her mental health. After five weeks of testimony covering more than 80 witnesses and 300 exhibits, the jury — nine women, three men — told Judge William F. Sullivan three separate times they couldn't reach a unanimous verdict. Reddington made a last-minute push to swap out a holdout juror, then filed an emergency appeal to the state's highest court when Sullivan refused. The court said no. Sullivan declared a mistrial. Plymouth County District Attorney Tim Cruz now has to decide whether to run this whole thing back with a new jury — a decision that isn't happening today. What is happening: a status and motion hearing on September 29. So no, this isn't over. It just got longer.

Three developments in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial at Plymouth Superior Court are converging into a single question: what happens next? The jury has been deliberating for days and has sent notes indicating they cannot agree. Judge Sullivan read the Tuey-Rodriguez instruction and sent them back. The impasse continued. The deadlock centers on a psychiatric dispute that twelve lay jurors appear unable to resolve. Outside the courthouse, a woman was arrested for filming the jurors. Police found deleted videos on her phone. The judge questioned each juror individually. The arrest created documented interference during active deliberation—evidence that could affect any appeal or future proceeding. If the jury hangs, the defense enters the next phase with options that did not exist before. A bench trial would put the case before a judge instead of a new jury. A renewed bifurcation motion could split a retrial into two phases, focusing only on criminal responsibility. Massachusetts precedent suggests the DA will retry—Karen Read was retried after a hung jury, as was Emanuel Lopes. But the depth of the deadlock, the outside interference, and the defense's strategic options make this a more complicated decision than a simple retry. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis covers all three developments and what they mean for Lindsay Clancy, for the DA's office, and for the mothers watching who needed this trial to deliver an answer.

Lori Vallow Daybell is serving seven life sentences for murdering her two children and conspiring to kill three other people. She believed her children were zombies whose souls had been taken over by dark spirits. She told an Arizona judge Jesus would free her from prison. Her appellate attorney Craig Durham has filed five constitutional claims with the Idaho Supreme Court, and the centerpiece is what happened to her defense attorney Mark Means. The state has documented evidence that Chad Daybell arranged and paid for Means to represent Lori. In a recorded jail call, Chad called Means "my attorney." Co-conspirators in a capital case cannot share a lawyer. The judge removed Means for the conflict, and Durham argues that removal violated Lori's constitutional right to the attorney of her choice — an error that could erase the conviction without any proof of harm. The state used Lori's incompetency to explain the trial delays, to justify holding hearings without her, and to block her from choosing her own lawyer. Durham says you can't use someone's illness against them in three different directions. Oral arguments are November 2 in Boise. Even a complete reversal leaves two Arizona life sentences untouched. She's not walking out of prison. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

If a mistrial is declared in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, the next chapter is not automatic. The defense has options, the DA has a decision to make, and the timeline could stretch months while Clancy remains at Tewksbury State Hospital. The option that has received the least public attention: Massachusetts allows a defendant to waive the right to a jury trial. Kevin Reddington could ask for a bench trial—putting the entire case before a single judge instead of twelve jurors. In a case where the impasse appears to be twelve people's inability to resolve a dispute between psychiatric experts, a bench trial eliminates the problem. Reddington also has the bifurcation motion he filed pretrial and lost. A hung jury gives him stronger ground to renew it. If granted, a retrial would separate the guilt question Clancy has conceded from the criminal responsibility question the jury could not resolve. The DA's decision is not simple either. Plymouth County DA Timothy Cruz charged first-degree murder. That charge mandates a jury trial unless the defendant waives it. Cruz has shown no willingness to reduce the charges. A retrial means the same eighty-plus witnesses return to the stand. Massachusetts history points in one direction. After Karen Read's first trial hung, the DA retried within months. After Emanuel Lopes hung, the state tried again and convicted. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis walks through the bench trial, the bifurcation motion, the retrial timeline, and how the depth of the jury's impasse factors into what happens next.

A judge told Wendi Adelson she couldn't move her kids to South Florida. Her mother Donna allegedly offered Dan Markel a million dollars to let them go. He said no. Prosecutors say the family's next move was a contract killing — two men hired from Miami to shoot the FSU law professor in his own garage on July 18, 2014.Dan Markel was 41. He'd dropped his sons at preschool that morning and come home from the gym. What investigators found afterward was a financial trail running through the Adelson family dental practice — monthly payments to a woman who never worked there, 44 checks signed by Donna, cash in brown paper bags with bills stapled in thousand-dollar increments. The grandmother allegedly washed the money before it went out.A rented Prius with a toll transponder led investigators from Tallahassee to Miami. A woman dating Charlie Adelson turned out to be the mother of the gunman's children. And an FBI sting in 2016 produced a forty-one-minute recording of Charlie discussing the entire arrangement at a Miami Beach restaurant. Donna's reaction to the FBI's approach — three calls to Charlie, zero to the police — told prosecutors everything they needed to know.

A woman was arrested outside Plymouth Superior Court during the Lindsay Clancy murder trial. She told reporters she came to catch a glimpse of Lindsay getting into the transport van. Police found deleted videos on her phone—not of Lindsay, but of the jurors. The judge had to individually question each member of the jury before allowing them to resume deliberations. This happened during an already fragile moment—the jury had been deadlocked for days and had sent notes to the judge saying they could not reach agreement. The arrest creates complications that extend well beyond this trial. If a guilty verdict is returned, the defense gains a concrete argument for appeal—that the jury was exposed to outside interference during a period when they were already struggling. If the jury hangs, the incident becomes part of the case file that follows Lindsay Clancy into any retrial. Courts across the country are grappling with how to secure jurors in an era when anyone with a smartphone can record, post, and potentially identify the people deciding a defendant's fate. Most courthouses operate with security protocols designed for an era before social media existed. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down how the arrest affects the current deliberations, what it means for any verdict that comes out of this trial, and what courts need to change to protect jurors from a public that has forgotten the difference between a trial and a television show.

The Lindsay Clancy jury at Plymouth Superior Court has heard more testimony and reviewed more evidence than most juries see in a career of service. Eighty-plus witnesses. Three hundred exhibits. Five weeks of testimony covering every detail of January 24, 2023—from the snowman Lindsay built with her children that afternoon to the 911 call Patrick made that night. The jury indicated it could not reach a verdict. Judge Sullivan read the Tuey-Rodriguez charge—the instruction that tells jurors they are in the best position to decide and no future jury will have better evidence. They returned to deliberations and remained deadlocked. At the center of the impasse are dueling psychiatric experts. The prosecution's team said Clancy was not psychotic. The defense's team said she was. Both examined the same woman, reviewed the same medical records, and testified under oath to opposite conclusions. The jury—regular people, no medical training—was left to choose. Lindsay Clancy was on thirteen psychiatric medications at the time of the incident. She had been discharged from a psychiatric hospital three weeks earlier. Her defense conceded every physical fact and put the entire case on one question: was she criminally responsible? Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis examines what is blocking this jury, what a deadlock would mean for Clancy's future, and what happens when the people the system depends on to deliver verdicts cannot deliver one.

Say “another Lindsay Clancy” out loud. Strip the true-crime vocabulary off it, and what you’re actually saying is “mother who went crazy and killed her kids.” That’s the entire contents of the comparison. No diagnosis, no detail, no name the speaker would recognize a week later. Andrea Yates drowned her five children in 2001, and for two decades she was the name people reached for when a mother killed her children. Convicted in 2002, acquitted on retrial in 2006 after a jury heard what postpartum psychosis does to a brain. We had a national conversation about maternal mental health. Published the papers, formed the groups, said we understood. Then Clancy’s case arrived and we grabbed the same shorthand like we’d never heard any of it. Nearly two-thirds of mothers who committed filicide had documented mental health histories. More than half were showing symptoms at the time — documented by someone who saw them, charted them, and didn’t intervene. Research found that roughly four in ten mothers with PPD acknowledged harmful thoughts toward their children. The women were talking. The profession’s own estimate of how many women were struggling fell short of reality. Those three words do the same thing to these women that the system did. The hospital documented her and didn’t act. We read about her and didn’t think. The hospital got scrutinized. We got a heart emoji. Tony lays out what those three words actually cost — and why the comparison is the failure, not a description of it.

Targeting. Enmeshment. Ambient terror. Psychological homicide. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott has a clinical name for every stage of what JP Miller allegedly did to Mica Miller — from the moment he met her as a child through the 48 hours after she served divorce papers. This is the full three-part conversation. Part one covers how spiritual authority becomes a tool of control and what total enmeshment does to a woman's identity. Part two covers what living under GPS surveillance and fifty daily contacts does to a person's brain and why police couldn't see what was happening. Part three covers the deadliest window, the concept an abuser driving a victim past the point of psychological survival, and what JP's post-death conduct — the sermon, the remarriage, the new church — reveals clinically.

Three of Nolan Wells' friends — Warren Hudson, Jax Pitalo, and Morgan Seymour — sent Reverend Al Sharpton a nineteen-page presuit defamation demand on August 21. On September 1, Sharpton's attorneys fired back a fifteen-page response rejecting every claim and threatening counter-litigation. The friends say Sharpton's repeated references to "three young white male friends" and his public claims about the phone, the keys, and erased data aimed an accusation at them without ever saying the words. Sharpton's defense: he never accused anyone of a crime. He didn't even know their names. This episode holds both men accountable for what they said and when they said it. Crump cited a viral video he said showed Nolan yelling for his phone — a Black friend who was on the island later said the voice was his, not Nolan's. Sharpton offered a reward for arrest and conviction before the cause of death was known. The friends cooperated from the first night. Their families have since reported thousands of death threats. Three strangers are facing federal charges. None of them had any connection to Nolan Wells.

Mica Miller died forty-eight hours after filing divorce papers. The Robeson County Medical Examiner ruled her death a suicide. JP Miller was verified to be in another city. He has not been charged in connection with her death. Shavaun Scott says the timing is clinically significant regardless of cause — the moment a victim asserts independence is the moment the risk spikes. Scott addresses two concepts the audience needs: narcissistic injury, which describes the psychological crisis an abuser experiences when control is taken away, and psychological homicide, the theory that coercive control can systematically destroy a person's capacity to survive. She then walks through what JP's post-death behavior — the rapid remarriage to a woman from his own congregation, the church service where he allegedly performed a parody song before mentioning Mica was dead — clinically reveals about personality pathology. JP has pleaded not guilty to federal cyberstalking. Trial is October 2026. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

On August 28, Kouri Richins learned the price tag on what she did. A judge set restitution at $1,369,581 — split between Auto Owner’s Insurance and TruStage, the two companies that paid out on the life insurance policies she cashed in after poisoning her husband Eric with fentanyl. Her lawyer accepted the figure without argument. The stay request was denied. Forensic accountant Brooke Karrington mapped the path of that money at trial. Kouri took in $1.35 million. Ninety days later, it was gone. She owed $7.5 million. Four payday lenders were pulling $2,100 from her daily. Her real estate company’s revenue couldn’t cover a third of its monthly obligations. By September 2022, her balance was $800. The court already declared her indigent. Her defense was taxpayer-funded. Her appeal is taxpayer-funded. At Utah’s top prison wage of $1.75 an hour, clearing the restitution would require 376 years of work. And restitution is just the first line on the ledger. Twenty-six felony fraud charges remain active in a separate Summit County case — five mortgage fraud counts, seven money laundering counts, forgery, bad checks, and a pattern-of-unlawful-activity charge connecting the financial crimes to the killing itself. October 9 brings the scheduling conference that sets the second trial in motion. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Police treated Mica Miller's stolen property as a civil matter because she and JP were still legally married. Her restraining order was denied. JP allegedly told officers she suffered from mental disorders to explain away her reports. The system heard a domestic dispute. Shavaun Scott says the system was hearing a woman being systematically dismantled. Scott walks through the clinical reality of what the indictment describes: a woman whose phone, laptop, car, and purse are confiscated under the cover of concern, whose tires are slashed and vehicles tracked, whose every movement is monitored — and who is then called crazy when she tells someone what's happening. JP has pleaded not guilty to federal cyberstalking. He has denied all allegations of misconduct. Trial is October 2026.

The documentary Death of the Pastor's Wife reveals footage, text records, and first-person accounts that reconstruct a targeting timeline spanning more than a decade. JP Miller was Mica's pastor when she was a child. He officiated her first wedding at 18. He made her his assistant. He began the affair while she babysat his kids. And when he married her, he became her husband, her boss, and the man who controlled her access to God. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott explains the clinical mechanism: enmeshment. When a woman's marriage, income, social circle, and what she believes is her spiritual salvation all run through the same person, leaving isn't a decision — it's an unraveling of her entire identity. Scott walks through what JP allegedly built around Mica and why a woman inside that kind of trap cannot simply walk away. JP has denied all allegations of targeting and misconduct. He has pleaded not guilty to federal cyberstalking. Trial is October 2026. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A sworn affidavit filed by JP Miller's first wife one month after Mica Miller's death is the document that connects two generations of the Miller family. Alison Williams states under oath that JP told her he had been inappropriate with underage members of their church — and that his explanation was what he says his own father did to him growing up. Church leadership allegedly knew about JP's conduct. They offered him a program. He quit. They let him keep preaching. Two lawsuits brought in 2025 allege that Reginald Wayne Miller built the institutional system that made this possible — a network of churches and a school the complaints describe as a "hunting area." Reginald founded the first of those churches in 1972. He was federally convicted of labor fraud in 2015 and defaulted on both civil suits. JP denied everything and countersued. FITSNews then published Mica's own February 2024 dispatcher recordings. She names JP's oldest son, Logan Ryan Hardee, and accuses him of an unwanted advance and of tracking her across town. Hardee carries a separate felony domestic violence charge unrelated to Mica. JP has pleaded not guilty to federal cyberstalking. Trial is October 2026.

The broadcast showed testimony. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries saw what the camera left out. The families sitting feet apart in the gallery. The jury's mothers breaking during the worst evidence. The energy during recesses. And the moment the entire room shifted. Bob joins Tony Brueski for the full three-part breakdown of Lindsay Clancy's murder trial at Plymouth Superior Court. He starts with the courtroom experience the cameras could not transmit — what Lindsay looked like in person, how the gallery held up over five weeks, and what the jury's body language revealed. He moves to the prosecution's claim that a CVS run proves premeditation and the defense's argument that over a dozen medications destroyed Lindsay's brain. He addresses ADA Jennifer Sprague's argument that Lindsay resented her life and Kevin Reddington's response calling the prosecution's case repulsive. Bob closes with Lindsay's future. She has been locked inside Tewksbury Hospital since 2023, paralyzed from the waist down. Andrea Yates has been committed for over twenty years. Whether prison or a psychiatric facility, Lindsay's address is a locked building. Bob explains the commitment process, the annual evaluations, and whether any realistic path exists for her release. This is the trial from inside the room — the grief, the medications, and the question nobody in that gallery could answer.

Sean "Diddy" Combs has been named in connection with Tupac Shakur's murder in court documents, police recordings, a Netflix documentary, and a civil lawsuit. He has consistently denied any involvement. Las Vegas police have publicly stated he has never been considered a suspect. Keffe D, the man on trial for orchestrating Tupac's killing, first made the allegation in a 2008 proffer session with LAPD and has repeated it in every format available to him since. In 2009, investigators sent Davis to New York as a confidential informant to try to verify the Combs connection. The operation failed. The intermediary Davis named as the money man, Eric "Zip" Martin, died in 2012. The alleged triggerman died in 1998. The two other men in the car died in 2004 and 2015. No payment trail has surfaced. Murder has no statute of limitations in Nevada. What the case lacks is not time — it is a single piece of independent evidence confirming what one man said.

Andrea Yates drowned her five children in a bathtub in 2001. She was found not guilty by reason of insanity in 2006. She has been confined to a state psychiatric facility in Texas for twenty years. She has never been released. She has never been deemed safe for the public. Lindsay Clancy is facing the same legal question in Massachusetts, and the parallels between the two cases are the subject of this conversation. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries joins Tony Brueski to walk through what the two cases share. A mother in psychiatric crisis. Dead children. An insanity defense. And a public that struggled to reconcile mental illness with the worst outcome. He also examines where the cases diverge: Yates had a documented history of psychosis and prior suicide attempts; Lindsay's diagnosis path was different, with postpartum depression escalating through a cascade of over a dozen medications. Bob explains what commitment looks like under Massachusetts law versus Texas law, what the annual evaluation process involves, and what would have to happen for Lindsay to ever be deemed restored and released. He addresses the physical reality of Lindsay's life — paralyzed, medicated, confined to Tewksbury Hospital since 2023 — and whether the distinction between prison and a psychiatric facility is meaningful for a woman in her condition. The question at the center of this conversation is whether Lindsay Clancy ever leaves a locked building.

The Idaho murders case has already cost taxpayers more than eight million dollars. Bryan Kohberger pleaded guilty to all charges. He was sentenced to four consecutive life sentences without parole. He waived his right to appeal. And now a court-appointed legal team — funded by the same public being told it doesn't understand — has a New York attorney releasing statements to national media claiming the case isn't what people think. Jason Goldman, who joined Kohberger's taxpayer-funded defense, told PEOPLE magazine the public should "caution against assuming" it knows the complete story. The verified record includes a teenage history of heroin addiction and breaking into homes, a Reddit survey asking criminals how they chose their victims, more than five hundred pages of police interviews describing Kohberger as "creepy" and dangerous to women, twenty-three phone pings near the victims' home in the months before the killings, DNA on a knife sheath left at the scene, and a car cleaned to what the prosecutor called "spotless." Kohberger said "guilty" four times in court — once for each of the four University of Idaho students he killed: Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. He told the judge he was doing so freely and voluntarily. One year later he says he was coerced. An evidentiary hearing is set for June 2027.

ADA Jennifer Sprague argued Lindsay Clancy did not want her life anymore. She was depressed. She was exhausted. She was done. She did not want to try anymore. The prosecution's theory is that Lindsay killed her three children — Cora, Dawson, and Callan — because they were her protective factor. As long as they were alive, she could not kill herself. Removing them was the plan. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries was in the room when Sprague made that argument to a jury of nine mothers and three men. He joins Tony Brueski to assess whether it landed — or whether it sounded like a prosecutor telling a room full of parents that a sick mother resented her own children. The defense painted a different picture. Kevin Reddington argued Lindsay was a labor and delivery nurse who named her daughter Cora after the first baby she ever delivered. She sought treatment from multiple providers. She was prescribed over a dozen psychiatric medications in months. She documented her declining mental state in a journal whose handwriting deteriorated as the medications piled up. Reddington called the prosecution's case repulsive. Bob walks through both arguments from inside the courtroom — how Sprague built the resentment theory, how Reddington dismantled it, and which version the parents on the jury appeared to absorb. He also addresses the question millions of mothers watching this case are asking: where is the line between being overwhelmed and being broken?

There was a moment inside Plymouth Superior Court when the entire room shifted. The families in the gallery felt it. The legal teams felt it. The jury's body language changed. And it was not on the broadcast. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries was in the gallery for every day of Lindsay Clancy's five-week murder trial. He sat close enough to see Lindsay's hands, her eyes, and the way she carried herself through testimony about the deaths of her three children — Cora, Dawson, and Callan. He watched the nine mothers and three men on the jury absorb the prosecution's description of what happened in the basement on January 24, 2023. Bob tells Tony Brueski what the room held that the camera could never transmit. He describes the grief in the gallery — Patrick Clancy's family and Lindsay's parents occupying the same space for five weeks. He walks through the recesses, the hallway silences, and the off-camera exchanges that shaped the atmosphere inside the courtroom. He identifies which testimony hit the jury hardest and which landed differently than the legal teams expected. The human cost of this trial was visible from three feet away. The broadcast never got close enough to show it. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

For the first time, Mica Miller's friends and family spoke on camera about what they allege pastor John-Paul Miller did inside their marriage — and the Netflix documentary "Death of the Pastor's Wife" captured every word. Friend Bruna Pabon alleges Mica told her JP controlled every hour of her day, refused to let her rest when she declined his demands, and brought strangers into their home to commit acts against Mica without her consent. When Mica ran to her sister's house, Pabon alleges JP threatened to come armed. The documentary also plays JP's own sermon footage, where he tells his congregation that a wife who doesn't meet her husband's needs bears the blame. Mica's family attorney alleges JP gave Mica his own lithium without her knowledge, manufacturing the very symptoms he later used to have her involuntarily hospitalized. Her siblings allege he took her devices during that commitment and that private images were later posted online — conduct now charged in a federal cyberstalking indictment. JP Miller has pleaded not guilty and denied every allegation. He faces trial in October 2026. After Mica's death, Solid Rock Church closed and sold for $2.1 million. JP opened Mercy Church. He married Suzie Skinner, whose first husband drowned under circumstances still under review. Mica wrote in her divorce affidavit that she'd been abused in every way she could think of. She was thirty. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Sprague told the jury Lindsay Clancy left three children on the basement floor with exercise bands around their necks and went upstairs. She called them broken toys because she was done playing the game. Reddington held up a honeymoon wish jar and thirteen medications and called the prosecution the thing that ripped the soul out of a woman who never did anything wrong.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski for a three-part interview as the jury deliberates. They disagree on this case and cover how the prosecution landed, how the defense landed, and what could happen next.The prosecution's own expert Kirk Heilbrun called the killings out of love. Defense expert Phillip Resnick called Clancy a puppet. The voice she described appeared once, lasted roughly eighteen minutes, and stopped the moment the children were dead. The prosecution's expert Gregory Saathoff called that pattern clinically unusual.Nine women and three men have five verdict options — first-degree murder, second-degree, manslaughter, not criminally responsible, or not guilty. Three and a half hours on day one with no verdict.Patrick Clancy's wrongful death lawsuit against the providers is already filed.

The lawyers who protected Hollywood's biggest names just walked out of d4vd's murder case. Blair Berk told the court on August 31 that her client wanted a public defender — then she left. Burke pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder with special circumstances, continuous lewd acts with a child under 14, and unlawful mutilation of human remains. His financial manager Benjamin Greger testified at the preliminary hearing that after Celeste Rivas Hernandez's remains were found in Burke's Tesla, he told Burke's mother Colleen to transfer property titles out of her son's name. He testified they were trying to assemble two million for bail. He testified the team went to encrypted messaging. All while the singer's deal with Interscope was bleeding out — terminated December 2025, zero payments in 2026. Greger estimated Burke grossed over ten million dollars. Nobody has explained where it went. Co-counsel Marilyn Bednarski told Rolling Stone there's "no conflict." She declined to say how Burke qualifies as indigent. The public defender's office says they're committed to his defense. DA Hochman says the death penalty is still on the table. Where the money went and what it means for this case — the full breakdown.

Nine women and three men are deliberating Lindsay Clancy's fate. They sat for three and a half hours on day one at Plymouth Superior Court and came back with no verdict. Five options are on those slips: first-degree murder, second-degree, manslaughter, not criminally responsible, or not guilty.First-degree means life without parole. Not criminally responsible means a psychiatric facility — not freedom. Andrea Yates got that verdict twenty years ago and is still locked up. The judge added manslaughter at the defense's request, and Reddington's team called it a positive development.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski as the jury works. They disagree on this case and dig into what could happen — whether jury composition decides the outcome, whether manslaughter becomes the compromise, and what it means if the jury can't agree.Patrick Clancy has already filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Lindsay's providers. If the doctors who prescribed thirteen medications without coordinating care end up liable for the same deaths the state is prosecuting, the two outcomes collide.Every mother watching this case is watching those nine women.

Duane "Keffe D" Davis is now the only person ever convicted in the murder of Tupac Shakur. A Las Vegas jury reached its guilty verdict after roughly three hours of deliberation — less time than the defense spent on closing arguments. Davis, 63, kept a straight face as the verdict was read, but what he did as officers escorted him out of the courtroom said more than anything his attorneys argued over nine days of trial. Prosecutors dropped the gang enhancement post-verdict, citing witness logistics. The conviction stands as first-degree murder with use of a deadly weapon. The case was built without a single piece of physical evidence tying Davis to the scene — no weapon, no vehicle, no phone records. Every fact that mattered came from Davis’s own mouth across four recorded formats. Sentencing is October 13. Davis has indicated he will appeal.

A male voice appeared on the afternoon of January 24, 2023 — the first time Lindsay Clancy had ever heard it. The voice told her this was her last chance. She had to kill her children and then kill herself. It lasted roughly eighteen minutes and stopped the moment the children were dead.The prosecution's expert called the pattern unusual. Defense experts Paul Zeizel and Phillip Resnick both diagnosed bipolar disorder with postpartum psychosis and testified Clancy had no appreciation for the wrongfulness of what she did. Resnick called her a puppet. He is the same expert who testified for Andrea Yates.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski as the jury deliberates. They disagree on this case and dig into whether the defense's evidence — the voice, the medication history, the journal entries, the chaplain's testimony — actually blocked the prosecution from proving criminal responsibility.Reddington held up a wish jar from the Clancy honeymoon filled with handwritten wishes for healthy children. He held up a poster listing thirteen psychiatric medications. He blamed the pills and the doctors who never talked to each other.The jury — nine women, three men — has five verdict options on those slips.

The prosecution called forensic psychologist Kirk Heilbrun to prove Lindsay Clancy was criminally responsible for killing her three children. He told the jury she committed a serious suicide attempt accompanied by killing the children out of love.Heilbrun said Clancy retained moral awareness of what she was doing. But his own characterization — love as the motive, not cruelty — landed squarely in the defense's territory. A second prosecution expert, Gregory Saathoff, agreed on the stand that the prosecution's opening statement minimized what Clancy was going through.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski as the jury deliberates in Plymouth Superior Court. They disagree on this case and dig into how the prosecution's closing argument landed — and whether it survived its own witnesses.Sprague argued Clancy made a rational choice to end her life and removed her children because they were the protective factor keeping her alive. She told the jury Clancy left the children on the basement floor with exercise bands still around their necks and went upstairs to finish her plan.Nine women and three men are deliberating. Five verdict options sit on those slips. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy was a nurse who delivered other people's babies. She'd been inside a psychiatric facility less than three weeks before she killed her own three children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan, in Duxbury, Massachusetts, in January 2023. Both the prosecution and her defense at Plymouth Superior Court agree she was mentally ill when it happened. What the jury must decide is whether she was too ill to understand what she was doing. Postpartum psychosis is rare, affecting roughly one or two mothers per thousand births. Doctors say the name is misleading because the condition is closer to a mood disorder than what most people imagine when they hear the word psychosis. A mother in its grip can look fine to everyone around her. The biggest risk factors, including bipolar history, are well established in the medical literature. The cruelest part of the evidence: caught early, this illness is treatable and temporary. Weeks of treatment can end the acute danger. Yet suicide and overdose among new mothers now account for nearly a quarter of all pregnancy-related deaths in America. The CDC says more than eight in ten were preventable. Roughly four out of five American mothers leave a hospital after delivery without ever being screened for depression. The same courtroom fight played out twenty years ago when Andrea Yates drowned her five children. The same forensic psychiatrist, Phillip Resnick, testified for the defense in both cases. Survivor Meghan Cliffel lived through postpartum psychosis in 2015 and says the attention only arrives after a tragedy.

The prosecution says Lindsay Clancy chose the basement three times. The defense says her doctors piled on medications until her brain broke. The jury has five options for each child — prison, hospital, or freedom are all on the table. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries was inside the courtroom for the full trial. He joins Tony Brueski for the complete breakdown — prosecution, defense, the Patrick conspiracy, and what happens to Lindsay no matter what the jury decides.

Judge Hippler scheduled Bryan Kohberger's evidentiary hearing for June 17, 2027 after prosecutors asked for the post-conviction petition to be dismissed outright. The hearing is a procedural step — not a ruling, not a signal of merit — but the timeline it creates puts a new attorney ten months from a hearing where Kohberger's former lawyers could be forced to testify. Kohberger claims Taylor, Massoth, and Barlow coerced him into confessing, hid evidence, and lied about what prison and death row would look like. He signed a nine-page questionnaire under oath saying none of that happened. The legal standard he has to clear — manifest injustice — is designed to make post-sentencing plea withdrawals nearly impossible. His new attorney Greg Rauch hadn't read the petition, the case file, or spoken to Kohberger as of his August 2026 appointment. He needs to drive 300 miles south to Kuna just to visit his client at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution. And the expert his defense team hired to build his case is now working against him. Sy Ray told reporters that additional cellphone geolocation data places Kohberger near the house repeatedly before the murders. Ray's position is clear: bring back the death penalty and try this case again. LinksListen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

If the jury finds Lindsay Clancy not criminally responsible, she does not go home. Massachusetts law allows the state to commit her to a psychiatric facility — six months initially, renewable every year, no maximum sentence. Andrea Yates was found not guilty by reason of insanity in 2006. She is still committed twenty years later.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries joins Tony Brueski to break down the verdict options, the conspiracy theories blaming Patrick, and what the rest of Lindsay's life actually looks like.END LINKSListen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A Miller hearing is the only thing standing between Timothy Hudson and a life sentence. The 2012 Supreme Court ruling says a judge must examine a juvenile defendant's childhood — mental health, trauma, family environment, rehabilitation potential — before imposing life without parole. To build that examination, the defense needs parents, relatives, and anyone who witnessed the defendant's development. Records tell part of the story. Only a parent can tell the rest. Timothy Hudson's three public defenders have never handled a juvenile federal case. They told Judge Beth Bloom their access to "certain family members" has been blocked by a family dynamic they called "very unfortunate." The filing was deliberately vague. A custody fight between Timothy's biological parents — his mother is married to Anna Kepner's father, making her stepmother to the girl Timothy allegedly killed aboard the Carnival Horizon — exposes the fracture the defense was trying to keep off the page. Shauntel Hudson confirmed under oath that Timothy was taking ADHD and insomnia medication. She confirmed he'd skipped the insomnia meds the two nights on the cruise. FBI Agent del Valle testified that Anna's ex-boyfriend reported Timothy had tried to get into Anna's bed while she slept — months before the trip. Anna allegedly told the ex she was afraid and hesitant to tell her father. Shauntel's own stepmother went on CBS demanding charges against both parents for lack of supervision. The person whose testimony would anchor the Miller case is the same person who'd have to explain what she knew before that cruise and what she chose not to act on.

Patrick Clancy came home and found all three of his children in the basement with exercise bands still around their necks. The prosecution says Lindsay put them there deliberately. The defense says her brain was in psychosis and she could not have stopped herself. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries was inside the Plymouth courtroom. He joins Tony Brueski to break down how the prosecution's closing argument landed with the jury — the puppet analogy, the phone call, and whether the state proved Lindsay knew what she was doing.

Jared Bridegan's killer is going to prison. His wife's trial just got more complicated than anyone expected. Mario Fernandez was convicted of first-degree murder and solicitation for shooting Bridegan in a Jacksonville Beach street in 2021, staged to look like a carjacking. Jurors took less than four hours. He's facing life without parole. Then, one day after that verdict, prosecutors filed two brand-new felony charges against Fernandez — both involving children, unrelated to Bridegan's murder, one tied to a girl who was around eight when the alleged conduct began. Shanna Gardner's own trial was supposed to start days later. Instead, Judge London Kite granted a continuance to May 2027 so her defense can investigate whether the new charges reveal a motive of Fernandez's own — separate from, or tangled up with, hers. Fernandez had already told police the twins were "better off" with Bridegan "out of the picture," a comment that predates the new charges by years. None of that changes what prosecutors already have waiting for Gardner's jury: her own text messages, read by prosecutors as evidence of intent rather than frustration. A friend, Kim Jensen, texted someone about finding Gardner "a guy" who "performs permanent disappearing acts on certain people." A detective testified the plot goes back to 2015. Gardner still faces murder, conspiracy, solicitation, and a fourth charge connected to her twins. Her attorney, Jose Baez, already has Casey Anthony's acquittal on his résumé, and he's accusing the state of mischaracterizing evidence before a single juror is seated. The jury pool has been doubled to 500. May 2027 is a long way off, and the story keeps changing before it gets there.

There's no version of this verdict where Lindsay Clancy walks out of a courtroom and goes home. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis lays out exactly what waits for her down each of the two paths this jury can choose. Path one: not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility. Under Massachusetts law that doesn't mean release — it triggers up to forty days of court-ordered observation, after which the state can petition for civil commitment with no time limit written into the statute. Andrea Yates walked that same road in Texas after drowning her five children in 2001 and was found not guilty by reason of insanity in 2006. She remains committed to this day, declining her annual release hearing every single time it's offered. Path two: first-degree murder. Massachusetts has no sentencing hearing for that charge — the penalty is automatic life without parole, and the case is automatically appealed to the state's Supreme Judicial Court, which will review every piece of psychiatric evidence the jury just weighed and set aside. Faddis explains what makes a jury choose second-degree murder instead — the option that actually carries eventual parole eligibility — and why almost no one convicted of first-degree murder ever sees the outside of a facility again. Then there's the body this all has to move. Clancy is paralyzed from the waist down and has been under suicide watch since January 2023, housed at Tewksbury Hospital since that May. Conviction means transferring that care into a prison system that isn't built for it. Two verdicts. Two very different buildings. Neither one is a door marked exit.

Duane "Keffe D" Davis spent decades telling anyone who'd listen exactly what happened the night Tupac Shakur died. This week his own recorded words became the prosecution's closing argument. This recap covers Wednesday's and Thursday's testimony in the Keffe D murder trial in one pass — the case the defense says was never anything but a paid fiction, cooked up for a book deal. The state opened this stretch with retired Compton gang detective Robert Ladd, who spent years inside the department's two-man gang unit tracking the South Side Compton Crips. Ladd told the jury the specific rank Davis held in that gang, and why it matters — it's the difference between someone who follows an order and someone who hands one down. Tupac's childhood friend Malcolm Greenidge followed him to the stand, laying out where the shots actually came from that night and what Tupac had lined up before it all ended, from a new label to a sit-down already booked with Quincy Jones. Crime scene analysts then detailed what a 2023 raid on Davis's Henderson home turned up — including his own memoir and newspaper clippings about the murder that had apparently sat untouched in that house for years. By the close, prosecutors had called twenty-five witnesses over eight days, and they ended on jail calls: Davis complaining that his own statements were being used against him, Davis promoting his book on YouTube as "the real truth," and one call in particular where Davis's description of Tupac goes straight at motive. The defense opens its own case next with a detective and two police officers on the witness list. Closing arguments are scheduled for Monday, and by then Davis will have decided whether he testifies in his own defense.

Lindsay Clancy was sitting across from her psychiatrist on January 23, 2023, one day before she killed her three children. Jennifer Coffindaffer, 25 years in the FBI and no stranger to the guilty camp, joins Tony Brueski to hold every argument for Lindsay's guilt up against what actually made it into the record. The paper trail is the starting point. Beyond that psychiatrist visit, Lindsay had two nurse practitioners, a therapist, two December calls to a suicide hotline, and a five-day inpatient stay at McLean Hospital that ended nineteen days before the killings. The planning argument leans on errands, timing, and exercise bands as proof she knew what she was doing, but Dr. Phillip Resnick, who examined both Lindsay and Andrea Yates, told this jury she was following a command voice. The theory that a search about treating a sociopath proves she was faking runs into Resnick's own testimony that the Commonwealth's testing found no evidence of faking, and that she downplayed her symptoms rather than exaggerated them. The staged-jump theory doesn't hold up against a woman who cut her own wrists, cut her own neck, is paralyzed for life, and remains on suicide watch at Tewksbury Hospital. Prosecutors have countered with Dr. Avram Mack, who interviewed Lindsay in April 2026, testified she could tell right from wrong, and told the jury she said "go to God" to her children during the killings, a statement that sits uneasily next to what she told a hospital chaplain a week later and Dr. Resnick months after that. Closings are next. Lindsay's plea is not guilty on three counts of murder, on the ground that she lacked criminal responsibility. Coffindaffer and Brueski ask how sick someone has to be before a jury calls it not responsible.

State Police Sgt. Timothy Chiappini and Cellebrite examiner Ian Whiffin pulled two sets of messages off Lindsay Clancy's phone, one day apart, and prosecutors and defense attorneys are now building opposite cases out of the same device. On January 20, a message asks whether a sociopath can be treated. Prosecutors point to that line as evidence of a woman thinking strategically, not psychotically. The day before, on January 19, other messages describe hallucinations and symptoms of postpartum psychosis, and a second message on the 20th uses the word "intrusive." The defense says that's the real record of what was happening in her head. The digital evidence sits inside a bigger fight over who Lindsay Clancy told what, and when. The prosecution's own psychiatrist, Dr. Avram Mack, testified she described a male, laughing voice telling her it was her last chance, the same account she gave everyone else, including a hospital chaplain in the first week after her arrest, back in January 2023. Dr. Phillip Resnick and Dr. Paul Zeizel both separately diagnosed bipolar disorder with postpartum psychosis after spending hours and, in Zeizel's case, roughly sixty sessions with her. Mack disagrees and says he found no evidence of mania. Her family had already tried to intervene. She told them in December 2022 that she'd had thoughts of harming the kids, and they got her admitted to McLean Hospital, which sent her home as low risk nineteen days before the deaths. Her outpatient providers knew about those thoughts too, well before anyone examined a single text message. Closings are next. She's pleaded not guilty on three murder counts on the ground that she wasn't criminally responsible. Prosecutors allege planning and a faked suicide attempt. Tony Brueski walks through what the phone actually shows, and what it doesn't.

Public records place Patrick Clancy in Manhattan by May 2023, four months after burying his children, with a new sales job at Microsoft and, according to reporting, solo trips through Latin America and Europe not long after. To some corners of the internet, that timeline reads like guilt. To Lindsay's own defense attorney, who told the jury in opening that Patrick suffered one of the worst tragedies imaginable, it reads like a man trying to survive. The actual testimony sits between those two extremes. Weeks before the killings, nurse practitioner Rebecca Jollotta raised bipolar disorder with the couple directly, and Patrick responded in five words that have since been picked apart online by commenters, some of whom present themselves as former FBI profilers with no record of ever working there. He filed for divorce in February 2024, was already involved with Dr. Rachel Danis that month, and married her in Central Park this April, three years and three months after the day his children died. He was never a suspect. He was never charged. He testified for the prosecution across two days. Andrea Yates' husband Rusty, who lost five children the same way in 2001, reached out to Patrick during the trial with a message built from twenty-five years of living through the same public scrutiny, only louder now that social media exists to fuel it. Patrick's new wife has already received death threats tied to accusations his attorneys call defamatory, aimed at a man both sides of the courtroom agree did nothing but come home to catastrophe he never saw coming. Tony Brueski separates what the timeline actually proves from what the comment section has decided it means.

Two days of testimony, one recorded voice, and a story that keeps changing depending on who's listening. This recap combines Monday's and Tuesday's sessions — Day 5 and Day 6 — in the Duane "Keffe D" Davis murder trial, and the tapes jurors heard do a lot of the talking. On the 2009 recording, Davis tells detectives about the night Tupac Shakur was shot in Las Vegas: the drive from Club 662, a hidden Glock, his nephew Orlando Anderson as the shooter, and his own claim that the bullets were meant for Suge Knight, not Tupac. Jurors also heard from a BET director who testified Davis was paid to sit for documentary interviews, calling himself the last man alive who could tell the real story, built partly on a sealed police tape that made its way to production through consultants connected to the original case. Tuesday's tape, recorded for Death Row Chronicles in 2017, adds a name to the story: Sean "Puffy" Combs, who Davis says wanted Suge Knight "taken care of." Davis says he called Combs after the shooting. Combs never called back. The defense fought to keep the tape out, calling it prejudicial. The judge disagreed. And when Davis was finally asked, on record, whether he had anything to say to Tupac's family, what came out of his mouth wasn't an apology. Davis remains the only person ever charged in connection with Tupac's 1996 murder. Combs has denied any involvement in the case and has never been charged. Two days, two tapes, one man's own words working against him in real time.

Patrick Clancy took the stand for the prosecution in his own children's murder trial and called Lindsay a wonderful, loving mother. Her friends said the same thing. Her coworkers said the same thing. Every single prosecution witness who actually knew Lindsay personally testified to her character, which meant the defense never had to call a character witness of its own. That's the strange shape of a fourteen-day, seventy-witness case built on a fact nobody disputes. The defense told this jury before opening statements that Lindsay killed her three children. The only question left is whether she was criminally responsible. Dr. Paul Zeizel, the forensic psychologist who has met with her more than sixty times, testified a male voice ordered her to kill the children and herself, and that she had no appreciation for the wrongfulness of it. Prosecutors challenged him hard on cross, pointing out that the only time she ever described hearing that voice was when she talked about January 24th specifically. Her hospital records list her as "critically ill, postpartum psychosis." A hospital psychiatrist who saw her days later called her "calm and cooperative." Meanwhile, a piece of internet mythology about a rope tied to her bedroom door has spread far past what the record actually says. Patrick found the door locked when he got home and testified that was the moment he knew something was wrong. The prosecution's own rebuttal psychiatrist, Dr. Avram Mack, testified Lindsay told him she never locked it at all. The exercise bands investigators found were sitting in the basement next to a laptop, not anywhere near that door. Eric Faddis breaks down what a prosecution proves when even its own witnesses keep defending the woman on trial.

Lindsay Clancy's own defense doesn't dispute what happened to her three children. The trial is about what was happening inside her mind, and the prosecution just spent fourteen days at Plymouth Superior Court trying to convince a jury it was less than it looks. The prosecutor opened by calling Lindsay "controlling, meticulous, and manipulative" and told the jury she faked a suicide attempt. Lindsay is paralyzed from the waist down. She cut her own wrists and neck before jumping from a second-story window, and the jury has watched her sit in a wheelchair through every day of testimony since. On cross-examination, the prosecutor asked Lindsay's former mother-in-law, who called her a wonderful and nurturing mother, whether she knew murder was a mortal sin. The judge struck the question before it could sit with the jury. When Lindsay's own mother testified that her daughter had said the medication was destroying her mind, the prosecutor asked why she never had Lindsay committed. Then came the recess. During autopsy testimony for eight-month-old Callan, Lindsay sobbed hard enough that the judge stopped the proceedings. The next morning, defense attorney Kevin Reddington accused someone on the prosecution's side of being caught on a hot mic saying "shut her up." The DA's office insists the words were "shut it off." None of this changes what a not guilty by reason of insanity verdict would actually cost Lindsay. Massachusetts law allows the state to keep refiling commitment petitions every six months, indefinitely, and Andrea Yates, acquitted the same way back in 2006, is still institutionalized today. Eric Faddis and Shavaun Scott join Tony Brueski to weigh a prosecution strategy that could be alienating the jury it needs, against a verdict that might not free her at all.

Nolan Wells died on Horn Island, Mississippi on July 4, and the sheriff's office ruled out foul play within two days, before the state autopsy was finished, before anyone official had opened his phone. Seven weeks later, that phone still hasn't been forensically examined. The device left the island with Nolan's friends. His mother retrieved it from them in the first days and, before any forensic protocol existed, went through it herself with her sister. Both of his Snapchat accounts were completely empty. On July 15, the family's lawyers and District Attorney Angel Myers McIlrath agreed to a joint forensic exam at the Digital Forensics Lab at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, with both sides' experts and possibly the FBI in the room. No date was ever scheduled. Nearly a month passed before the DA's office sent a letter giving the family 48 hours to hand the phone over, while Nolan's parents were out of state. The three friends who were with Nolan that weekend handed their own phones directly to federal agents, no subpoena needed. The family still has Nolan's phone and says it's ready to go the moment there's a real chain-of-custody protocol in writing. Forensic examiners say deleted data can often be recovered from a device like this one, but platforms purge their own servers over time, and every week of delay narrows that window. No charges have been filed. The friends deny any tampering. The family has already subpoenaed Snapchat, Meta, TikTok, WhatsApp, and Life360 for the server-side records the phone itself can't hold. Tony Brueski breaks down how a sheriff's office reached a conclusion about Nolan Wells' death before the evidence that could confirm or contradict it was ever examined, and why that order of operations should bother everyone paying attention.

Three witnesses. Under two hours. The defense in the Keffe D murder trial rested on Day 9 — and the witness they built their case around may have done more for the prosecution than the defense. Dan Long, the retired detective who led the Tupac Shakur investigation for fifteen years, testified he couldn't verify key parts of Davis's story. But on cross-examination, he confirmed Davis identified the same four men the investigation had already developed as suspects. Then he told the jury he tried to seek a murder arrest warrant in 2009 because he believed there was probable cause — and prosecutors told him to stand down. Davis did not testify. Two former officers described seeing the Cadillac at Suge Knight's house and leaving in a convoy with Tupac's BMW. Closing arguments are Monday.

This jury has three options on the verdict slip. Guilty of first-degree murder — life without parole, automatic appeal, a transfer from a hospital to a prison. Guilty of second-degree murder — life with eventual parole eligibility. Not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility — commitment to a psychiatric facility with no time limit. Every path leads somewhere the audience does not expect. Eric Faddis walks through all three as a defense attorney and former prosecutor. He starts with the deliberation itself — how the burden of proof sits with the prosecution in Massachusetts, how the two-prong legal test works, and what the prosecution's own expert conceded when he acknowledged Clancy had a severe mental illness but drew the line at psychosis. The legal standard says mental disease or defect and does not specify a diagnosis. On the not-guilty path, Faddis explains the commitment process under MGL Chapter 123. The court can order 40 days of observation, then the state petitions for involuntary commitment. There is no cap. Andrea Yates has been committed for twenty years. Periodic review hearings give the state a chance to prove Clancy still meets the standard. Her attorney still has a role. On the guilty path, Clancy leaves Tewksbury Hospital — where she has been since May 2023, paralyzed and on suicide watch — and enters the corrections system. The automatic SJC appeal carries the full trial record, including every piece of mental health evidence the jury rejected. Faddis explains what that review examines and whether the rejected defense has a second life. The jury must be unanimous. If it deadlocks, the judge can issue a last-resort instruction. If that fails, the result is a mistrial. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

New felony charges against Fernandez were filed the day after his murder conviction. Both involve crimes against children. Gardner's trial, set to begin this week, has been pushed to May 2027 after an unopposed defense continuance. Gardner's defense indicated the new charges may give Fernandez an independent motive for Bridegan's murder. She married Fernandez in April 2018, months after he received an other-than-honorable discharge from the Army following allegations involving a recruit. Both told police they barely knew each other. Gardner called it a marriage of "convenience" tied to the custody arrangement. The prosecution's answer runs through the timeline. Gardner's messages go back to 2015 and 2016, years before the first child's allegations began in April 2020. A friend told investigators Gardner said Fernandez could "take care of" Bridegan. The state has proposed trying Gardner alongside alleged gunman Henry Tenon in May 2027.

Lindsay Clancy has been at Tewksbury Hospital for over three years. She is paralyzed from the waist down. She has been on 24-hour suicide watch since January 2023. If this jury convicts her of first-degree murder, she leaves that facility and enters the Massachusetts corrections system. The sentence is mandatory — life without parole. Eric Faddis breaks down what that transition looks like. The prison system must accommodate Clancy's physical condition — around-the-clock medical care for a paraplegic inmate — on top of her psychiatric needs. In a treatment facility, she is a patient. In prison, she is an inmate who happens to need care. The institutional mission changes, and with it the daily structure, the staffing, and the access to mental health treatment. Faddis covers what Reddington can do for Clancy once she is inside the system. Advocacy for an incarcerated client includes fighting for placement, conditions of confinement, medical care, and mental health treatment access. The attorney-client relationship does not end with the verdict. Every first-degree murder conviction in Massachusetts triggers an automatic appeal to the Supreme Judicial Court. The trial record — including all of the mental health testimony the jury heard — goes up for review. Faddis explains what the SJC looks for and whether the rejected insanity defense evidence has any life on appeal. The verdict slip gives this jury a second option. Second-degree murder carries a life sentence with parole eligibility after 15 years. How a jury reaches that verdict when the act itself is undisputed depends on how they weigh the mental health evidence without fully accepting the insanity defense. First-degree life without parole has two exits — commutation by the governor or a successful appeal. Both are rare.

Reddington held up a list of Lindsay Clancy's prescriptions and started reading. Lorazepam. Sertraline. Hydroxyzine. Lorazepam again. Buspirone. More lorazepam. Trazodone. "It goes on and on and on and on and on." She took them as she was told, Reddington said. The system gave her medication after medication and still couldn't catch what was happening. He called her a "darn good mother," held up a honeymoon wish jar filled with hopes for healthy children, and showed photos of Clancy smiling with her son Dawson. "They would have you think she killed him first, cruelly because she didn't like him," Reddington told the jury. "That is repulsive." The prosecution answered with a closing that conceded mental illness and reframed the case around a single question: did Clancy know right from wrong? ADA Sprague pointed to thoughts Clancy hid from every medical provider in December 2022 while disclosing them to her family — and called that concealment proof of rational thinking. The jury is now deliberating. Four options on the verdict slip. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Not guilty does not mean free. If this jury finds Lindsay Clancy not criminally responsible for the deaths of Cora, Dawson, and Callan, she enters a commitment process governed by Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 123. That process has no end date. Eric Faddis explains the legal mechanics. The court can order Clancy hospitalized for 40 days of observation and evaluation. After that window, the DA or hospital superintendent petitions for involuntary civil commitment. The commitment is reviewed periodically — the state must prove at each hearing that Clancy remains mentally ill and poses a danger. If the state fails to make that case, release is possible. If it succeeds, the commitment continues. Clancy is already at Tewksbury Hospital, where she has received court-ordered treatment since May 2023. She is paralyzed and on 24-hour suicide watch. A commitment facility would provide daily psychiatric care — therapy, medication oversight, structured evaluation. The environment is built around treatment in a way that prison is not. The question the audience keeps asking is whether Reddington still has work to do after an acquittal. Faddis explains why the answer is yes — the commitment hearings require legal representation, the conditions of confinement require advocacy, and the periodic reviews are adversarial proceedings where the state must carry its burden. Andrea Yates has been in a state psychiatric facility for twenty years after a not-guilty-by-reason-of-insanity verdict in the drowning deaths of her five children. She declines her annual release hearing every year. Faddis walks through whether that path is the most realistic comparison for Clancy's case — or whether Massachusetts law creates a different outcome.

Most people following the Lindsay Clancy trial assume the defense has to prove she was insane. Massachusetts law says the opposite. Once the defense raises mental illness, the prosecution has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Clancy was criminally responsible when she strangled Cora, Dawson, and Callan on January 24, 2023. That burden does not shift back. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis walks through the legal standard this jury was handed and why it matters. The McHoul test requires the Commonwealth to prove two things — that Clancy could appreciate the wrongfulness of her actions and that she could conform her conduct to the law. Fail on either, and she is not criminally responsible. The standard says mental disease or defect. It does not require a diagnosis of psychosis. Dr. Avram Mack, the prosecution's own rebuttal psychiatrist, told this jury Clancy had a severe depressive episode. He stopped short of psychosis. The legal question is whether that distinction matters under a test that never uses the word. Faddis also covers the mechanics of deliberation — how jurors choose a foreperson, how holdouts shape the conversation, and how long a judge allows a deadlocked jury to continue before stepping in. The Tuey-Rodriguez instruction is a last-resort tool Massachusetts judges use to push past an impasse. In the Karen Read case, it did not work. This jury heard from 84 witnesses across 21 days of testimony. What they do with it begins after closing arguments Thursday.

Twenty-five witnesses. Eight days. The prosecution in the Keffe D murder trial rested its case on Day 8 — and chose a recorded jail call as the last thing the jury would hear before the break. Duane "Keffe D" Davis was recorded on a Clark County Detention Center phone line saying something the fiction defense can't account for. In a separate call, he complained that authorities were using his statements against him. The prosecution also played a YouTube clip of Davis promoting his book as "the real truth." A separate video showed Davis explaining why his side had reason to retaliate after the MGM Grand brawl. The defense begins Thursday with a detective and two officers. Davis has to decide overnight whether to testify. Closing arguments are scheduled for Monday.

One trial, three reckonings. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott sits with Tony Brueski for the complete interview on what the verdict coverage leaves out: the prison that waits, the hospital that never lets go, and the husband strangers decided to put on trial themselves. The prison conversation confronts the physical truth first: a conviction sends a woman who cannot stand into a facility built on the assumption that inmates can. Shavaun, drawing on decades in forensic settings, describes the collision between mandatory life without parole and a defendant this dependent — and what becomes of a mind serving a sentence with no end date and no one left to visit. The hospital conversation flips the script on the insanity verdict. Renewable commitments, a release standard nearly impossible to meet with a permanent diagnosis, dueling experts whose conflicting testimony will shape her treatment for years — and the Andrea Yates precedent hanging over all of it like a forecast. The final conversation is Patrick's. The accusations his attorneys call patently false. The threats against his new wife. The testimony about a happy afternoon that ended in catastrophe. And the counsel of Rusty Yates, who has spent twenty-five years surviving what Patrick is just beginning. Three parts, one question underneath: when the crime is this entangled with illness, what does justice even mean? Shavaun's answer earns the full runtime.

The man the prosecution called the only link between Bridegan and the gunman was convicted in under four hours. Gardner's jury selection starts August 31 — and the evidence profile is a different case entirely. Against Fernandez, the prosecution had financial records and phone data but no evidence he ever expressed a desire to harm Bridegan. Against Gardner, prosecutors have her own texts to friends expressing exactly that. They have Jensen's messages about finding someone for Gardner. They have wiretaps from Gardner's phone and Apple Watch that survived a defense motion to suppress. But Gardner's connection to Henry Tenon runs through Fernandez. She never paid Tenon directly. Her case requires the prosecution to prove she directed the killing, not just that she wanted it. Jose Baez has been fighting pretrial harder than Fernandez's defense team did — accusing the state of withholding evidence, challenging the wiretaps, and arguing the texts are taken out of context. The conspiracy charge Fernandez didn't face at trial is still live against Gardner. Deliberations in Fernandez's case took four hours. Gardner's trial is scheduled for three weeks.

There is no support group for what happened to Patrick Clancy. The research on parents who survive what he survived barely exists, because so few ever have. But one man has — and his road map is at the center of this episode. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to examine the loneliest grief in true crime. Shavaun starts where the pain starts: a father who came home to find his three children gone, taken by the woman he loved and built a family with. She explains why this loss breaks the grief playbook therapists rely on. The perpetrator and the co-mourner are the same person, the anger and the love have the same address, and the standard stages of grief have no chapter for it. Then the pile-on. While Patrick relived that night on the witness stand, strangers online accused him of orchestrating it — allegations his attorneys have condemned as patently false, allegations that brought death threats to his new wife's door. Shavaun details what public blame does to private trauma, and why survivors of family tragedies so often become the internet's suspects. The episode closes with Rusty Yates — the father who lost five children to Andrea Yates' psychosis in 2001 — and the hard-won advice he offered Patrick. Tony asks whether wisdom like that can actually hold a person up. Shavaun's answer is the most honest thing you'll hear about grief this year.

Judge William Sullivan ruled on August 26 that Lindsay Clancy's jury can consider involuntary manslaughter as a lesser included offense — over the prosecution's objection. The Commonwealth charged Clancy with first-degree murder and fought to keep manslaughter off the verdict slip. Sullivan put it there anyway. The ruling came after the prosecution's final expert gave the Commonwealth the clinical testimony it needed — and then undercut the prosecution's own rhetoric under cross-examination. FBI psychiatrist Gregory Saathoff had told the jury Clancy was in control and her account of the voice was unconvincing. Reddington then read the prosecution's own opening statement aloud — the version that called Clancy's decision "the selfish choice." He asked the FBI psychiatrist if he agreed with the prosecution's words. Saathoff told the jury the characterization "really minimizes what she was going through." The Commonwealth's final witness rejected the Commonwealth's own rhetoric. The jury now has four possible verdicts: first-degree murder, second-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter, or not criminally responsible. Reddington also asked for a jury instruction on inadequate police investigation, arguing officers "didn't investigate anything" and didn't test blood at the scene. Sullivan declined that instruction. Closing arguments Thursday. END_LINKSListen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The state closed its case against Lindsay Clancy this week, and Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Sprague didn't waste time on subtlety. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is accused of strangling her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She's pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, and defense attorney Kevin Reddington has spent the trial arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis, compounded by psychiatric overmedication. Sprague's closing went straight at that argument's foundation. She reminded jurors that Clancy had 18 weeks of maternity leave, support from family on both sides, and access to mental health treatment most people never get close to. Yes, she was depressed — Sprague conceded that much. But she argued the providers treating Clancy weren't negligent; they worked with what they were told, and Clancy never told a single one of them she was having thoughts of hurting her children. Why not? Fear the state would take her kids away. Sprague turned that fear into her strongest weapon, calling it evidence of a woman who understood exactly how wrong her thoughts were. She also took aim at the overmedication theory directly, noting Clancy was on only two medications at the time and that no doctor ever flagged signs of psychosis. Her closing line to the jury: this wasn't psychosis, it was premeditation — Clancy killed her children first, then tried to kill herself. Clancy allegedly attempted suicide afterward by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. Deliberations are expected soon in Plymouth Superior Court.

An hour is a long time to spend telling a jury they've been played, but that's what Kevin Reddington did in closing arguments for Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother charged with strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. His pitch to jurors: the prosecution manufactured a heartless, controlling caricature of a woman who was, according to the defense, drowning in psychosis. Reddington took particular aim at how prosecutors framed Clancy's suicide attempt. She allegedly jumped from a second-story window after the killings and is now paralyzed from the waist down — and Reddington argued the state tried to cast even that as manipulation rather than the desperate act it appears to be. That's a hard sell in front of twelve people who've heard the medical details. Then came the expert witnesses, and Reddington didn't hold back. He claimed the state's own experts brought credentials from entirely different worlds — one with a background hunting terrorists, another focused on juvenile offenders, a third who allegedly conflated schizophrenia with psychosis. None of that, he argued, adds up to real expertise on postpartum mental illness. His closing message was simple: reasonable doubt doesn't require jurors to know what happened inside Clancy's mind that day. It just requires the state to have failed to rule out psychosis, and he says they did. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and is mounting an insanity defense built on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. The case is in Plymouth Superior Court, and the jury's next move decides everything.

Two mothers. Two psychotic episodes, according to their defenses. Two insanity verdicts — one already delivered, one hanging over a Plymouth County jury room. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to map the road Andrea Yates has traveled since 2006 and measure how much of it waits for Lindsay Clancy. Yates was acquitted by reason of insanity two decades ago. She has spent every year since inside a state facility, and the people closest to her case say she remains there because the system has no exit built for someone with her history. Shavaun explains the machinery that produces that result: commitment renewals with no limit, and a release standard that demands proof of safety from a person whose diagnosis is permanent. The doctors inherit total authority over a life the moment the verdict lands. For Clancy, one wrinkle makes it heavier. Her trial featured experts who couldn't agree on what she has — her defense described bipolar disorder with postpartum psychosis, while a prosecution expert testified he found evidence of neither. Shavaun unpacks who resolves that dispute once the jury goes home, and why the answer matters more than the verdict itself. Tony closes with the question every listener will be arguing about: whether the hospital is the compassionate outcome everyone assumes — or a quieter version of forever.

A guilty verdict in the Lindsay Clancy trial sends her somewhere no expert has fully described on camera — until now. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski for the prison episode: what life without parole actually means for a woman who cannot move her own body and whose mind is the entire reason this trial exists. The reputation problem comes first. Prisons run on hierarchy, and inmates convicted of harming children sit at the bottom of it. Clancy would enter as the most famous face in the facility, convicted of the act other incarcerated mothers consider unforgivable, unable to walk away from a single confrontation. Shavaun explains how a person survives that — or doesn't. Then the machinery. The Department of Justice found Massachusetts prisons answering psychiatric emergencies with isolation cells, holding dozens of people alone for a month or longer. Clancy has needed constant supervision since the night her children died. The tool the system reaches for and the condition she carries are a dangerous match, and Shavaun walks through exactly why. And underneath it all, the clock. She is thirty-six. There is no parole in a first-degree sentence, no date to count toward, and no family waiting — her children are gone and her husband ended the marriage. Shavaun addresses what hope does when it has nowhere to go, and Tony asks the question the audience keeps circling: punishment, or something we don't have a word for?

Day 7 ended Mario Fernandez's murder trial with closing arguments from both sides and a prosecution rebuttal. The defense had called just two witnesses — staff from the Discovery School who described Fernandez and Gardner as caring, involved parents — before resting its case. The prosecution's closing asked the jury to see the totality: the checks, the trust clause, the phone gaps, the January visit to the man who once owned the murder weapon type. Stifler told them Fernandez is the thread connecting every piece of evidence. Dreicer fired back, accusing the prosecution of misstating the financial evidence and presenting two theories about Fernandez that contradict each other. He reminded the jury that Henry Tenon is alive and could have testified but the prosecution chose not to put him on the stand. Mizrahi closed the day with the prosecution's final words: this defendant is not the unluckiest man alive, he's just guilty. Deliberations begin Wednesday.

Every segment of this episode has one comment that turned out to be true, and in each case it hurt the person who posted it. The Patrick-did-it crowd said a nurse would never search for the carotid artery. The search is on Lindsay Clancy's phone, and her own defense attorney displayed it during his cross of Sgt. Timothy Chiappini, because it supports his argument that she was researching her own death. Prosecutors had framed the same history as searching for ways to kill. Chiappini didn't recall the search at first, then agreed the device identifier matched her phone. The she's-a-sociopath crowd said she lied to her doctors and refused treatment. Nurse practitioner Rebecca Jollotta did testify Lindsay wanted to change or stop her medications almost daily, and that on Dec. 15, 2022 she chose the ER over admission. Jollotta also testified she was an honest, engaged patient who advocated for herself, and that the Rhode Island hospital recommended tapering Seroquel. On Jan. 1 she checked herself into McLean. The Patrick-failed-her crowd said he moved to New York four months after the funerals. Public records put the move in May 2023. Jollotta also testified that when she raised bipolar disorder with the couple, Patrick said his wife was not bipolar. Fifteen comments, three fights, every claim next to the testimony that answers it. The rope, the window, the knife, the mistress, the Europe trip. The on-off psychosis, the Andrea Yates conversation, the OCPD bet, the sent-him-to-the-store argument. The FBI profiler who never was, the thirteen drugs, and what each verdict does. Lindsay Clancy admits she killed her children. Everything after that sentence is either in the record or it isn't.

The prosecution spent Day 7 connecting a gang title to a murder charge. A retired Compton Police Department detective took the stand and told the jury exactly where Duane "Keffe D" Davis sat in the hierarchy of the South Side Compton Crips. Robert Ladd tracked Davis and the gang for years. He identified Davis by a specific title — and explained to the jury what that title means when the gang acts. Tupac's childhood friend Malcolm Greenidge, court-ordered to testify, told the jury the shots came from the back seat of the white Cadillac. Davis was in the front. Ladd's testimony explains why the front seat carries the charge. He also testified about witnessing Orlando Anderson's gang initiation and the code of respect that drives retaliation. Crime scene analysts showed the jury what police found in Davis's Henderson home during a September 2023 search — his own book about the shooting and newspaper clippings about the murder stored in bins for decades.

An FBI profiler thinks Lindsay Clancy is a psychopath who was sick of her kids. That's how one commenter puts it, citing Pat Brown, with Matt Walsh as a second vote. The commenter rejects both of them. She's closer to the record than the people she quoted. Pat Brown was never in the FBI. She's an independent, self-taught profiler with a criminal justice master's who has written that she felt too old to join the Bureau and built her own practice instead. She has posted videos arguing Lindsay fabricated her psychosis. Matt Walsh is a political commentator who wrote that the real source of Lindsay's depression was a selfish hatred of her children. Neither has examined her or testified. "Sick of her kids" isn't a fringe idea, though. It's the prosecution's theory in plainer words. Prosecutors told the jury Lindsay was controlling and killed the children because she was no longer satisfied with her life. That's a claim being weighed, and the jury hasn't ruled on it. "Psychopath" is something else entirely, and the difference is the whole trial. A psychopath knows exactly what's real and doesn't care. Psychosis means losing track of what's real. The defense experts diagnosed postpartum psychosis. The prosecution's experts rejected that and said major depression or bipolar II. No one who examined her, either side, said psychopath or personality disorder. This segment covers five comments about Patrick and the system. What he did in December 2022, dated by testimony. The five words he said when a nurse raised bipolar. The Manhattan move that happened exactly when the comment says it did. The thirteen medications, which are documented. And what happens to Lindsay under each verdict. Opinions about Patrick are fair. Credentials are checkable. Diagnoses come from the witness stand.

Dr. Gregory Saathoff, a forensic psychiatrist who works with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit, took the stand today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is running an insanity defense built on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Reddington spent cross-examination taking Saathoff's testimony apart piece by piece. Saathoff admitted that on the 911 call, he never actually heard Clancy say she tried to kill herself — just grunts. That detail came from Patrick Clancy's account instead. Same story with the pills: Saathoff said he got the information about Clancy allegedly crushing medication straight from Patrick — nothing was ever tested to confirm it. Reddington then asked the obvious follow-up nobody had an answer for: how did the empty pill bottles end up in a drawer? Saathoff also conceded that a person in psychosis can generate false memories and misremember events entirely — which doesn't exactly help a case built on secondhand recollection. He testified he never reached out to Clancy's mother himself, relying only on the DA's office telling him she wouldn't talk. Prosecutors argue Clancy understood what she was doing despite the mental-health claims. After the killings, she allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Husband Patrick Clancy, out running errands at the time, has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.Links Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Kirk Heilbrun told twelve jurors that Lindsay Clancy is still grieving her children. That she spent months trying to get help. That she is not self-centered. That she used the words "I have lost everything, and I don't want to be here." He said he would not consider her a beast. Then he told those same twelve people that she's criminally responsible for killing Cora, Dawson, and Callan — and that her moral awareness was "influenced" by suicidal despair but never extinguished. He was paid $54,000 by the Commonwealth to reach that conclusion. His last encounter with a postpartum psychosis patient was forty-four years ago. Reddington attacked his credentials, his compensation, and his lack of published work on postpartum conditions. The prosecution's final witness, FBI psychiatrist Gregory Saathoff, took a different approach — comparing Clancy's accounts across multiple interviews and finding discrepancies the defense will have to answer in closing. Clancy gave different timelines for when the voice started, and a detail about what the children were doing in the kitchen doesn't match the crime scene evidence. Closings expected Thursday.

Lindsay Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is standing trial for the murders of her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months — allegedly strangled with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her defense, led by Kevin Reddington, is built around an insanity claim: severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Cross-examination is where the prosecution's expert stopped having it easy. Dr. Gregory Saathoff, the FBI-affiliated forensic psychiatrist who diagnosed Clancy with bipolar II and testified she was criminally responsible, admitted under Reddington's questioning that he wasn't brought onto this case until January or February of 2026 — well after the killings — and that he didn't even know how much his own university employer got paid for his testimony. Reddington didn't let that sit quietly, either, pressing the point that Saathoff's expert work runs almost exclusively for prosecutors, prisons, and the institutions that write his paychecks. It got more pointed from there. Saathoff confirmed Clancy did tell her husband and mother about homicidal ideation — but when Reddington asked whether she'd complained to doctors, friends, and family about dark, intrusive thoughts of suicide and homicidal ideation more broadly, Saathoff wouldn't concede the homicidal piece. He did admit she kept reaching out for help, and that she told her doctors about dark thoughts and suicidal ideation. What never got asked, notably: whether those thoughts were just thoughts, or whether she experienced them as voices. Saathoff also testified he treated women with postpartum depression back in the 1980s and '90s, background the defense clearly wants jurors weighing against his conclusions today. Clancy is now paralyzed from the waist down after allegedly jumping from a second-story window. Husband Patrick Clancy has relocated to Manhattan.

Lindsay Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is on trial for the murders of her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — allegedly strangled with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her defense, led by attorney Kevin Reddington, is arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication when it happened. Today the prosecution's expert took the stand, and he didn't hedge. Dr. Gregory Saathoff, a forensic psychiatrist with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit, testified that whatever voice Clancy said she heard never told her how to kill her children or where to do it — a detail the prosecution wants the jury sitting with. He described Clancy as gripped by a sense of "burdensomeness," convinced she couldn't return to work and that the family couldn't survive financially with her in it. He called her suicide attempt "very, very serious," pointing to the fact that she tried multiple methods as proof she meant it. Saathoff landed on a diagnosis — bipolar II — and said Clancy was suffering from a genuine mental disease at the time. But he drew a hard line after that: disease or not, he testified she understood right from wrong, and she was criminally responsible for what happened. That's the needle prosecutors are threading — real illness, real tragedy, but not legal insanity. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Husband Patrick Clancy was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan.

Lindsay Clancy is right-handed, Patrick Clancy is left-handed, and the knife on the nightstand was set down by a lefty. That's a real comment on this channel, and it's the kind of detail that sounds like evidence until you check whether anyone testified to it. No one did. State Police analyst Sherri Crook told the jury the knife had been moved about an inch on the nightstand, leaving an outline in blood, and that she couldn't say where it sat before that. Investigators recovered no usable fingerprints from it. No witness in this trial has said a word about which hand either Clancy favors. The same commenter says a nurse would never search for the carotid artery. Lindsay did. "Where is the carotid artery" is in her phone extraction, next to a search about how to end her life. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington put those searches on poster boards during his cross of Sgt. Timothy Chiappini, because they support his argument that she was planning her own death rather than researching harm to her children. Prosecutors had characterized the same history as searches for ways to kill. Chiappini initially didn't recall the carotid search, then agreed the device identifier matched her phone. That's the pattern across this whole segment. The theory reaches for a detail, the record has the detail, and the detail cuts the other way. Five comments, each one taken seriously and checked against testimony: the rope, the knife, the window, the psychosis admission, and the claim that Patrick fled the country. What Lindsay Clancy did is admitted by her own attorney. What her illness means is for the jury. Everything else in those comments is answerable, and I answer it.

Day 6 of the Fernandez trial ended with the prosecution resting and the defense asking Judge London Kite to throw the case out. The motion argued what the defense has pressed all trial: the solicitation charge requires evidence of a communicative act, and six days of testimony produced nothing showing Fernandez asked Tenon to kill Bridegan. No message, no witness, no recording. The prosecution's answer was the boldest legal theory of the trial. An "earnest ask" isn't needed, they told the judge, because the murder is the proof. Fernandez is the only connection between the alleged gunman and the victim. The checks, the trust clause, the phone data gap during the hour of the shooting, and a January visit to the man who once owned a 10mm Glock matching the shell casings form the web. That web, prosecutors argued, is the communicative act. Judge Kite denied the motion. Before the jury entered the courtroom that morning, prosecutors had tried one more thing. Kim Jensen, a friend of Gardner's, testified under immunity about Fernandez allegedly asking his wife if there was anything "he wanted her to take care of." Marital privilege blocked most of her statements. The jury never heard her. Defense closes Wednesday morning. Deliberations could follow that afternoon.

The Commonwealth called Dr. Avram Mack to prove Lindsay Clancy was responsible and got a witness who repeated her account of the voice. Jackson County's DA promised a grand jury every piece of evidence her office collected and never collected Nolan Wells' phone. Jennifer Coffindaffer, retired from the Bureau after 25 years, joins Tony Brueski for the full interview on both. Clancy's side rested August 21, 2026. The closer was Resnick, the psychiatrist from the Andrea Yates acquittal, who told jurors she was psychotic and obeying a command voice on January 24, 2023. Coffindaffer has been on the guilt side since day one. Each of her arguments meets the record. Yates planned too. Testing done for the state found no faking. The paper trail includes a psychiatrist session the day before. The window left her paralyzed and on suicide watch. The credibility war follows. Resnick is 88 and evaluated her at four months; Mack evaluated her at three years. The chaplain who heard about the voice in their earliest meetings has visited about two hundred times; the malpractice suit came three years later. Her family got her a bed at McLean, and McLean sent her home as low risk nineteen days before the children died. Nolan Wells was found dead on Horn Island two days after a July 4 boat trip. His phone rode home with his friends, his mother recovered it within days, and she says the July 4 texts and pictures were gone. The friends say nobody touched it. Seven weeks later, no forensic exam. A July 15 agreement with no date. A two-day ultimatum from the DA in mid-August. A four-day counteroffer from the family. Silence since. Clancy's not guilty plea rests on lack of criminal responsibility, and the Wells case has produced no charges. Two offices, two rooms full of citizens waiting, and two pieces of evidence the state would rather not explain.

Eleven hours. That's how long forensic psychiatrist Dr. Gregory Saathoff, who's worked with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit, spent interviewing Lindsay Clancy over Zoom across May and June 2026 — and today he told a Plymouth Superior Court jury what came out of it. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is accused of strangling her three children — Cora (5), Dawson (3), and Callan (7 months) — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorney Kevin Reddington is arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Saathoff isn't a stranger to this specific horror — he testified he's diagnosed and treated five to seven women in the prison system who killed their children, and co-authored a 1980s paper on postpartum psychosis with four colleagues. He explained to jurors that psychosis itself isn't a disease but a symptom, and distinguished Serious Mental Illness like schizophrenia and bipolar I from the broader Any Mental Illness category that covers things like anxiety disorder and PTSD. Then came the substance: Saathoff testified Clancy described an external voice that started while she was making the kids' dinner, right after a call with Patrick Clancy — telling her this was her last chance, that she had to kill the children and then herself. The voice, he said, stopped after she strangled Callan, her youngest — though it had already gone silent before her own suicide attempt. He called it unusual that this was the first time she'd ever heard it. He also noted inconsistencies between Clancy's account and collateral witness statements, pointing specifically to the Three V takeout order and Clancy allegedly asking her husband to run an errand to a particular drugstore.

Day 6 of the Keffe D murder trial brought the 2017 Death Row Chronicles recording into the courtroom — and one exchange between the interviewer and Duane Davis landed harder than any confession the jury has heard so far. Davis described the night Tupac Shakur was shot, named his nephew as the gunman, and discussed Sean Combs and money. He said Combs wanted Suge Knight "taken care of" and then ghosted him when the situation got hot. The defense fought to keep the recording out, arguing it contained references to other crimes. The judge admitted it with limiting instructions — every version of Davis telling this story chips away at the fiction defense. Prosecution witness Michael Dorsey, the filmmaker behind Murder Rap, testified about recording the interview on his own phone and later alerting Las Vegas police. His phone recording captured audio the official production recorder missed. Combs has denied any involvement and has never been charged in connection with the case.

Dr. Gregory Saathoff, a forensic psychiatrist who's consulted with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit, spent today explaining what he found when he sat down with Lindsay Clancy — the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children, 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan, with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her attorney Kevin Reddington is building an insanity defense around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Saathoff isn't new to this territory — he told the court he's evaluated and treated five to seven women in the prison system who killed their children, and co-authored a paper on postpartum psychosis back in the 1980s. He drew a line for jurors between psychosis, which he called a symptom rather than a standalone illness, and the diagnoses that can produce it. He also walked through the difference between Serious Mental Illness — schizophrenia, bipolar I — and Any Mental Illness, the broader category that includes things like anxiety and PTSD. The heart of his testimony: after interviewing Clancy over Zoom for roughly 11 hours across May and June 2026, Saathoff said she described an external voice that surfaced while making dinner, right after hanging up with Patrick Clancy — telling her this was her last chance, that she had to kill the kids and then herself. He testified the voice stopped once she strangled Callan, her youngest, but had already gone quiet before she attempted suicide. He flagged that as unusual, along with inconsistencies between her account and what collateral witnesses told him — including the decision to order Three V takeout, and Clancy allegedly steering her husband toward a specific drugstore to keep him out of the house longer.

Seven weeks. Nolan Wells died on Horn Island, Mississippi over the July 4 weekend, and the phone his family says was wiped has never been opened by a forensic examiner. Not by the sheriff, the DA, or the FBI. Jennifer Coffindaffer, who retired from the FBI after 25 years, sits down with Tony Brueski on why the single test that ends the argument still hasn't happened. The timeline is short and ugly. The friends brought the phone back to the mainland. Nolan's mother collected it from them in the first days and says the July 4 messages and photos were gone. The friends say they never touched it. On July 15, District Attorney Angel Myers McIlrath and the family's lawyers agreed to examine it together at a community college digital lab. No date followed. Then a 48-hour ultimatum from the DA on August 12, sent while the parents were away. Then a four-day offer from the family on August 17. Nothing has been announced. The DA's only statement since didn't say the word "phone" but promised the grand jury all the evidence collected. The phone was never collected. Coffindaffer's FBI career is the lens. The sheriff's no-foul-play call came two days after Nolan disappeared and before any autopsy, while the phone sat with the family and no one in law enforcement asked for it. A congressional caucus requested a DOJ review, the NAACP came aboard the family's legal team, and Sharpton called the phone erased. All of it before one extraction. The three friends turned their own devices over to federal agents voluntarily. The family has served subpoenas on five tech companies for server records. Those companies keep logs a phone doesn't. Nobody has been charged. The friends deny tampering. The question for the people in charge is simple: does anyone actually want to know what's on it?

The prosecution's rebuttal case in the Lindsay Clancy trial took an unexpected turn when its second expert witness handed the jury a motive rooted in love instead of premeditation. Kirk Heilbrun, a forensic psychologist who examined Clancy at Tewksbury Hospital over three days, testified that her account of hearing a commanding voice on the night of the killings is clinically inconsistent. The voice appeared for eighteen minutes and never returned. She reported no accompanying delusions and made no attempt to resist it. He called the psychosis theory "a convenient way of lessening your own culpability." His alternative: Clancy was suicidal and took her children with her because she couldn't stand the idea of them suffering without her. He used the forensic term "altruistic filicide" — killing your children out of love. The first words Clancy spoke to Patrick when he walked through the door were about her own death, not the voice. Then a prosecution witness mentioned Catholic doctrine and the word "mortal sin" from the stand — the second time in eight days the prosecution injected faith into the trial. Judge Sullivan denied a defense mistrial motion, struck the testimony, and sent the jury home. Closing arguments expected Wednesday.

Dr. Kirk Heilbrun, a forensic psychologist called as a prosecution rebuttal witness, spent another day on the stand in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication at the time of the killings. Cross-examination resumed after a morning recess, and Reddington kept working the same angle he's been on for days — how severe was this, really, and why hasn't Heilbrun published on postpartum psychosis specifically. He walked through a list of symptoms and got Heilbrun to agree they line up with postpartum depression, all of which Clancy reported having. On redirect, Heilbrun pushed back on the framing: those same symptoms, he said, also track with major depressive disorder, general depression, and bipolar II — and he testified he's had more case material here than in any matter he's ever handled. He clarified Clancy wasn't experiencing thought broadcasting; she believed her own intrusive, unwelcome thoughts were somehow audible to others. The prosecution then had him confirm the harder fact: Clancy never told a single healthcare provider she wanted to hurt her children, repeatedly denied suicidal ideation, and showed no observed or reported signs of psychosis before that day. On re-cross, Heilbrun held the line — no lying, no faking, no malingering, on any of it. Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out of the home running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial, underway in Plymouth Superior Court, is expected to last several weeks.

Lindsay Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is on trial in Plymouth Superior Court on three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, accused of killing her children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She's pleaded not guilty, and attorney Kevin Reddington is running an insanity defense built on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. If direct examination was about Dr. Kirk Heilbrun's conclusions, cross was about his credentials — and Reddington went at them hard. He got Heilbrun to admit his evaluation of Clancy happened roughly three years after the killings, and got him to concede on the record that earlier is better when it comes to assessing someone's mental state after an offense. Not exactly a ringing endorsement of his own methodology. Heilbrun also testified he'd treated four or five women who'd killed their children — about 44 years ago. Reddington didn't let that sit quietly either. Then came the CV. Reddington walked through roughly 70 pages of it and pointed out what wasn't there: no articles on pregnancy or postpartum depression, no postpartum psychosis research — just juveniles, prisoner reintegration, and sexual abuse work, plus a career mostly spent consulting for prosecutors and corrections. Heilbrun admitted he's coached both prosecutors and defense attorneys on presenting expert witnesses, but Reddington made sure jurors knew which side he's usually on. He also confirmed he'd never met co-evaluator Avram Mack in person until Tewksbury Hospital, and that his total time with Clancy came to 10.5 hours across three days. Clancy allegedly attempted suicide afterward by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Husband Patrick Clancy, running errands at the time, has since relocated to Manhattan.

Lindsay Clancy, the 34-year-old Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, is back in Plymouth Superior Court, and this week the prosecution brought out its heaviest hitter yet. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and defense attorney Kevin Reddington is running an insanity defense built on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Monday got messy before the end. Reddington moved for a mistrial after "mortal sin" came up for the second time from the prosecution's side. Judge William Sullivan said no, but told jurors to strike anything about sin or religiosity from Dr. Kirk Heilbrun's testimony — and made it clear the prosecution needed to keep their own witness on a shorter leash. When Heilbrun, a forensic psychologist, came back Tuesday, he laid out a different diagnosis than the defense wants jurors thinking about: bipolar II, yes, but what happened that day looks like a serious suicide attempt paired with altruistic filicide — not psychosis. He testified Clancy understood the legality of what she was doing and could have stopped herself. His opinion: criminally responsible. He also flagged something jurors probably won't forget — Clancy calling her husband back mid-crisis — and said that doesn't read as self-centered, it reads as a mother already grieving. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Husband Patrick Clancy was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan.

To the prosecution's psychiatrist. The Commonwealth put Dr. Avram Mack on the stand in the Lindsay Clancy trial to say she was responsible for her actions. Under oath, he repeated what she'd told him: a man's voice, laughing, saying this was her last chance. Jennifer Coffindaffer, retired from the Bureau, argues the guilt side of the credibility war with Tony Brueski. Attacking witnesses is the whole second half of this trial. Resnick is too old and got to her too late, at four months. Mack got to her at three years. The chaplain isn't a clinician, and her notes never mention a voice. She also told jurors Clancy raised the voice with her in their earliest hospital visits, and she's made roughly two hundred visits since. The malpractice suit the voice was supposedly built for was filed in January 2026. The chaplain's account dates the voice to January 2023. Face-readers say Clancy smirks in court. Zeizel, sixty meetings in, said her children are on her mind every day. Mack said she cried in front of him and doesn't want to live. Mack also testified he found no evidence of mania and that Clancy herself doubts the bipolar label. Zeizel and Resnick each diagnosed bipolar disorder with postpartum psychosis. Denying the illness is a symptom of the illness. Blame has landed on the family for hearing harm thoughts in December 2022 and not taking the children. What they did was get her a bed at McLean. A psychiatrist there found no safety concerns and released her. The children died nineteen days later, and her outside providers had the same warning in their files. Clancy's not guilty plea rests on lack of criminal responsibility; prosecutors allege planning and a staged suicide attempt. A calculating killer doesn't warn her own mother. If the warnings were obvious, she was obviously sick. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A commenter who studied psychology at the university level has two objections to the Lindsay Clancy defense. Psychosis doesn't surface one second and vanish the next. And a truly psychotic woman wouldn't ask for a lawyer the moment she came out of a coma. Both are in the record, and both got an answer from witnesses the prosecution called. Dr. Sejal Shah, testifying for the Commonwealth, agreed on cross that a person can be in psychosis and still communicate and make plans. Defense psychologist Paul Zeizel told the jury hallucinations come and go like waves at the beach. No expert on either side described psychosis as a steady state. The lawyer question is true. Dr. Jhilam Biswas testified that on Jan. 26, 2023, still intubated, Lindsay wrote on paper that she felt horrified, asked whether she had an attorney, asked where her family was, and asked whether her body was broken. What that shows about her mind two days earlier is for the jury. The commenter's strongest point is also in the record. Zeizel conceded that none of Lindsay's treatment records from September 2022 to Jan. 23, 2023 document a voice telling her to kill. He also testified she hasn't heard voices since 2023. The defense's answer is three years of medication and one-to-one supervision at Tewksbury. Both sides own that fact. This segment runs five comments through the testimony. The on-off psychosis argument. The Andrea Yates search that has no record, and the conversation about Yates that does. The OCPD diagnosis no expert made. The "she sent him to the store" argument. And the prosecution's case, stated as fact by people who should know it's a claim. The illness is the trial. The comments have it decided. The witnesses don't.

Lindsay Clancy's final psychiatric appointment was January 23, 2023. The killings were January 24. That single date is where the Lindsay Clancy trial's guilt arguments start to wobble, and Jennifer Coffindaffer, retired from the FBI after 25 years, is here to defend them anyway. The defense rested on August 21, 2026, after Dr. Phillip Resnick testified by video that Clancy was psychotic the day she killed Cora, Dawson, and Callan. Resnick helped acquit Andrea Yates in 2006. He told this jury the command voice ran for some time before January 24 and that Clancy felt she had to obey it. Coffindaffer argues planning proves awareness. Tony puts Yates next to Clancy: both waited for a husband to leave, both acted methodically, one was found not guilty by reason of insanity. Coffindaffer argues the paper trail is thin. The record shows a psychiatrist, two nurse practitioners, a therapist, suicide hotline calls in December 2022, and a five-day stay at McLean Hospital that discharged her as low risk nineteen days before the deaths. The sociopath theory gets tested against the Commonwealth's own psychological testing, which Resnick said showed no faking and a tendency to minimize. The staged-jump theory gets tested against a neck wound, slashed wrists, paralysis from the waist down, and an ongoing suicide watch at Tewksbury Hospital. Prosecutors opened their rebuttal with Dr. Avram Mack, who met Clancy in April 2026 and testified she knew what she did was wrong. Mack is the source for the jury hearing that she told the children to "go to God." The chaplain who saw her on January 31, 2023, testified the first thing Clancy said was that she was glad her children were safe. Clancy's not guilty plea rests on a claim of no criminal responsibility. Closings are next. Does a guilty person spend three years saying she saved them?

Two phones defined August 21 in the Jared Bridegan murder case, and the court could only reach one of them. The first belongs to Kirsten Bridegan. A judge halted Mario Fernandez's trial mid-testimony because Kirsten defied an order to surrender that phone for extraction on behalf of Shanna Gardner's lawyers. Gardner's attorneys say the material includes Kirsten's messages with the two children Gardner shares with Jared, both listed as witnesses, and argue the phone may show whether testimony was influenced. The show-cause order that followed put Jared's widow one hearing away from a contempt finding, until an appeals court stepped in hours later and gave her three business days to fight.The second phone belonged to Fernandez, and according to a Jacksonville Sheriff's Office detective, it was factory reset on August 26, 2022, six months after the killing and the same day as a T-Mobile store purchase. Prosecutors say Fernandez kept right on using the wiped device, logged back into 35 accounts, and never exchanged another message with Henry Tenon, the man accused of pulling the trigger. Before the wipe, the state's chart shows their contact collapsing from dozens of monthly exchanges around the murder down to nothing. What survived came from other devices: Tenon's old LG still held a January 4, 2022 text from Fernandez reading "I'm here brother," sent on the very date prosecutors say the conspiracy began.Fernandez's attorneys spent cross-examination cutting it down. Resets happen around upgrades, landlords call tenants, and the state's own analyst admitted she cannot connect a single deletion to Jared's death. Then, with the jurors gone, prosecutors previewed an inmate who claims Fernandez took credit for the plan. The judge hasn't decided whether a jury will ever hear him.

Nolan Wells’ DA and the family agreed to a joint forensic examination of the phone that left Horn Island with his friends. A month passed. The DA sent a 48-hour letter. The deal collapsed. That phone has been sitting in a drawer for six weeks while Snapchat and WhatsApp servers purge data.Lindsay Clancy’s prosecution spent three weeks proving premeditation against a defendant who had already admitted to the killings. Their own witnesses called her a wonderful mother. Their own psychiatrist never met her in person. They asked her mother-in-law about mortal sin. They told the jury she faked a suicide attempt while she sat in front of them in a wheelchair.Two cases where the prosecution’s own conduct may be doing more harm to their case than anything the defense has put on. Eric Faddis, defense attorney and former prosecutor, breaks down the mistakes and where both cases go from here.

Day 5 of the Duane "Keffe D" Davis trial belonged to a question detectives asked him in 2009: what went through your head when Tupac Shakur died? His recorded answer opens this episode, and everything that follows tracks who profited from the story he's told for years. The retired detective who took his 2008 confession put it in a book. Two consultants from that world helped build a BET docuseries — one of them wrote the interview questions and recorded the session on his phone. The director admitted cutting sealed police audio into the show and paying Davis to sit for it. Prosecutors say all that talking is precisely why the confession can now be used to convict him. The episode also covers Leonard Jefferson, whose photo of Tupac and Suge Knight at a stoplight became the last image of the rapper alive, and whose release from the scene a detective later called a mistake. On tape, Davis insists the shooting grew out of a beating at the MGM Grand, that the crew hunted Suge Knight first, and that his nephew fired the shots. Sean Combs surfaces in Davis's account as well — Combs denies everything, was never a suspect, and has never been charged. It closes with Davis confronting the prosecutor in open court. One man told this story to everyone who'd pay. Now twelve jurors get it for free. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The prosecution rested after fourteen days and more than seventy witnesses. Before trial, the defense conceded that Lindsay Clancy killed her children. The prosecution’s job was to prove she was sane and acting with premeditation when she did it. After three weeks, what they may have proven instead is how badly her medical providers failed her.Patrick Clancy, their first witness, testified he was never told not to leave Lindsay alone with the children and that he didn’t know what psychosis was until after January 24th. The prosecution’s own psychiatrist admitted under cross that she never met Lindsay in person across fourteen appointments.The defense psychologist has met with Lindsay more than sixty times and diagnosed her with bipolar disorder with postpartum psychosis. He testified she had no appreciation for the wrongfulness of her act. Lindsay’s mother and mother-in-law both took the stand and described a woman begging for help that never came in the form she needed.Eric Faddis, defense attorney and former prosecutor, evaluates whether the prosecution accomplished what it needed to and where this jury is likely to land.

Dr. Kirk Heilbrun, a forensic psychologist called by the prosecution, took the stand today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her attorney Kevin Reddington is building an insanity defense around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Heilbrun evaluated Clancy three years after the killings, and testified she tended to underreport or minimize her own symptoms — which, coming from a rebuttal witness, is not a throwaway line. He didn't dispute that her suicide attempt was serious; he said the opposite, noting she remains on one-to-one suicide precautions at Tewksbury and is still considered at risk. What he disputed is the cause of the children's deaths. Heilbrun testified he doesn't believe psychosis was behind it — he believes Clancy killed her children to spare them from suffering after she died. He said the symptoms only showed up during the offense itself, with no related delusions, and that the voice telling her "this is your last chance" reads to him as intrusive thoughts, not a command hallucination. He also pointed to her first words to her husband after the attempt: "I tried to kill myself" — not that she'd followed a voice's instructions. Prosecutors are expected to lean on that distinction hard. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court, where Judge William F. Sullivan is presiding over what's shaping up to be a battle of competing psychiatric narratives, not competing facts.

Dr. Kirk Heilbrun, a forensic psychologist called as a prosecution rebuttal witness, spent hours on the stand laying out a timeline that doesn't do the prosecution any favors in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy — the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children, 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan, with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and is mounting an insanity defense centered on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Heilbrun opened by explaining retention bias — the tendency to lean toward whichever side hired you for the evaluation — before detailing his own work: roughly 180 hours reviewing police records, medical records, court documents, and surveillance footage, plus 10.5 hours testing and interviewing Clancy and 1.5 hours in collateral interviews. He testified that before September 2022, Clancy's medical history was limited, mostly some anxiety. After October 2022, that anxiety and depression worsened, and by December 2022 she was experiencing intrusive, unwanted thoughts about harming herself and, occasionally, the children — thoughts he was careful to distinguish from auditory hallucinations. On the diagnostic question, Heilbrun said he found no record of mania or hypomania that would point to bipolar disorder, despite Tewksbury Hospital's chart carrying that diagnosis for three and a half years. His own diagnosis: bipolar II. He also walked the jury through the legal standard for criminal responsibility — mental disease or defect, capacity to know the conduct was wrong, and ability to conform behavior to the law. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.

Lindsay Clancy's murder trial now turns on a sentence she said in her basement on January 24, 2023. The Plymouth County DA's psychiatric expert, Dr. Avram Mack, testified she told him she said "go to God" as she strangled each child, and he told the jury that proves she understood her actions were wrong. Hours earlier, defense psychiatrist Dr. Phillip Resnick told the same jury she was frankly psychotic that day, heard a command, felt her body controlled by an outside force like a puppet, and believed sending her children to heaven was the right thing to do. He examined her four months after the deaths. Mack first met her more than three years later. Mack conceded a severe major depressive episode but found no psychosis and no mania in the months before the killings. He testified that psychosis on its own doesn't prevent someone from knowing right from wrong. Tony Brueski argues that line does as much damage to the prosecution as to the defense, because the state spent eighteen days proving Clancy wasn't psychotic and the jury will be instructed that capacity, not diagnosis, is the question. Reddington's cross-examination challenged Mack's background, his claim that Clancy resisted medication, and whether postpartum psychosis belongs in the DSM. Resnick faced his own cross, acknowledging Clancy never told providers about the impulse to harm her children. Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder. Prosecutors allege she planned the killings. The Commonwealth carries the burden of proving she was criminally responsible. Two more prosecution experts remain before closings.

Redirect testimony from Dr. Avram Mack turned into a battle over diagnostic fine print Monday in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her defense is built on a claim of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication led by attorney Kevin Reddington. After Reddington spent his cross picking at Mack's credentials and motives, prosecutors used redirect to reframe the whole diagnostic argument. They had Mack explain that while postpartum psychosis isn't its own DSM diagnosis, "postpartum onset" is a recognized specifier that can attach to conditions like bipolar disorder and depression — meaning the clinical reality the defense is describing has a home in the manual, just not under the name they're using. From there, testimony settled into the unglamorous stuff that actually decides whether jurors trust an expert: precise definitions of what counts as "postpartum," another pass through Mack's qualifications, and other procedural detail work. Reddington kept pushing to keep the credibility damage on the record; the prosecution kept working to shore it up. No new revelations, but plenty riding on it — this is the tug-of-war over whether the jury walks away trusting Mack's opinion or writing it off entirely. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.

Monday's session in the Lindsay Clancy trial belonged to the defense, as attorney Kevin Reddington took apart prosecution rebuttal witness Dr. Avram Mack piece by piece. Clancy, the 34-year-old Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her defense rests on an insanity argument built around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Reddington's cross covered a lot of ground fast. He brought up past cases where Mack was found not credentialed enough to testify, then asked about money — Mack said expert testimony nets him several hundred thousand dollars a year. Reddington had him define confirmatory bias, then asked if he'd exhibited it evaluating Clancy; Mack said no. Mack testified his own evaluation didn't happen until 2026, three years after the incident, and that he came in already holding defense records, DCF files, and medical history. The actual sit-downs with Clancy ran about eight hours combined across two doctors, plus a separate day of psychological testing. He also laid out the diagnostic disagreement at the heart of this case: Drs. Heilbrun, Resnick, and Zeizel diagnosed bipolar 2, a different doctor diagnosed bipolar 1, and Mack pointed out postpartum psychosis doesn't even appear in the DSM as a standalone diagnosis. Prosecutors still intend to argue Clancy knew what she was doing at the time. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.

The Lindsay Clancy murder trial hit a rough patch Monday for the prosecution, as its own rebuttal witness, psychiatrist Dr. Avram Mack, spent hours under cross-examination from defense attorney Kevin Reddington. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorneys are pursuing an insanity defense centered on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Reddington didn't ease in. He started with prior cases where courts had ruled Mack unqualified to testify, then moved to money — Mack testified he pulls in several hundred thousand dollars a year doing expert witness work. Asked to define confirmatory bias and then asked point-blank if he'd shown it evaluating Clancy, Mack said no. He testified he met with Clancy in 2026, three years removed from the killings, having already reviewed defense records, DCF documentation, and medical history — the evaluation itself ran roughly eight hours across two doctors and multiple days, including a full day of testing. He also acknowledged the diagnostic split in the case: Drs. Heilbrun, Resnick, and Zeizel diagnosed bipolar 2, another doctor diagnosed bipolar 1, and postpartum psychosis, he noted, isn't a recognized DSM diagnosis at all. Despite the rough cross, prosecutors are still expected to argue Clancy understood what she was doing regardless of her mental state. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.

The prosecution has rested its case against Lindsay Clancy. After three weeks and more than seventy witnesses, some of the prosecution’s most damaging moments came from their own conduct in the courtroom.On cross-examination of Lindsay’s former mother-in-law, the prosecutor asked whether she was an active Catholic, then asked if she was aware that murder is considered a mortal sin. The judge called a sidebar and instructed the jury to disregard the question. Lindsay’s mother took the stand and testified that her daughter said the medication was destroying her mind. The prosecution’s cross: why didn’t you have her committed? During autopsy testimony, Lindsay sobbed until the judge halted proceedings. The next morning brought a hot-mic dispute — the defense alleging someone said “shut her up,” the DA’s office claiming the words were “shut it off.”The prosecution opened the trial by calling a paralyzed woman’s jump from a second-story window a faked suicide attempt. Their own psychiatrist treated Lindsay exclusively by telehealth and admitted she never met her patient face to face.Eric Faddis, defense attorney and former prosecutor, breaks down the prosecution’s courtroom conduct and how a jury processes these moments.

The family agreed. The DA agreed. A joint forensic examination of Nolan Wells’ phone at the Digital Forensics Lab at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College. Both sides’ experts in the room, possibly the FBI. Then a month went by without a date being set, and the DA sent a letter: hand over the phone in 48 hours.The phone had already been through civilian hands. Nolan’s mother and her sister opened both Snapchat accounts before any forensic protocol existed and found them empty. Meanwhile, the three friends who were with Nolan on Horn Island turned over their own devices to the FBI without being asked twice.Forensic experts say the longer that phone sits unexamined, the more data Snapchat and WhatsApp purge from their servers. The state autopsy is sealed. A grand jury is supposedly reviewing the case. And the phone that might answer what happened on July 4 has not been touched by a single forensic tool.Eric Faddis, a defense attorney and former prosecutor, breaks down who is responsible for the collapsed deal and whether the evidence can still be recovered.

Lindsay Clancy sat through fourteen telehealth sessions with her psychiatrist in the weeks before her three children died in their Duxbury home, and that doctor told the jury she never appeared psychotic. Then came the hospital chaplain — the person who has spent more hours with Clancy than nearly anyone alive, roughly two hundred visits across three years at Tewksbury Hospital. She testified that Clancy described a male voice commanding her to kill her children and then herself, or none of them would be safe. On cross-examination, the prosecutor got her to admit something the defense didn't want said out loud: in two hundred visits, she never wrote that voice down. That gap now sits at the center of the Lindsay Clancy murder trial. Once an insanity defense is raised under Massachusetts law, the burden shifts — prosecutors must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Clancy was criminally responsible when she used exercise bands on her three children. To carry that burden, the state needs jurors to conclude the chaplain either missed the most important thing Clancy ever told her, or that Clancy invented it after she survived her own suicide attempt. Phone forensics don't make the answer easier — Clancy had searched "symptoms of postpartum psychosis," timed her husband's errand, and ordered the takeout that cleared him out of the house. The defense calls it a woman failed by a medical system that kept adjusting her prescriptions without hearing her. The prosecution calls it premeditation with a convenient excuse attached. Tony Brueski lays out both sides of a case that keeps getting harder to call, with closing arguments expected the week of August 24.

A psychiatrist who prescribed twelve of Lindsay Clancy's thirty medications in four months sat on the stand at Plymouth Superior Court and couldn't defend her own paperwork. Dr. Jennifer Tufts treated Lindsay exclusively over telehealth, never meeting her face to face, and never pulled records from another clinic treating her at the same time. When defense attorney Kevin Reddington asked if she had, she said no. "Seriously?" he replied. Then he confronted her with her own chart notes documenting pressured speech — a potential mania symptom — and she told the jury the notes didn't reflect what she meant. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta and retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke were both in the room for it, and Tony Brueski combines their breakdowns of a prosecution witness who may have done more for the defense than the defense did for itself. Nurse practitioners also testified, describing Lindsay pleading to change medications that were making her worse, while one nurse told the prosecution directly she saw no signs of postpartum psychosis. Patrick Clancy opened for the prosecution, describing his wife's "best day" hours before their children died, followed by months of intrusive thoughts and a growing list of prescriptions. After fourteen days and more than seventy witnesses, this episode asks the question the jury is now sitting with: did the Commonwealth's own case just make the defense's argument for them?

A South Carolina county of 37,000 people, where the Murdaugh family ran the local prosecutor's office for three generations, will not be hosting Alex Murdaugh's retrial. Judge Debra McCaslin pulled the case entirely outside the 14th Judicial Circuit at an August 14 pretrial hearing, and Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer break down everything else that happened in that courtroom. Murdaugh's defense told the court that weapons from a recent Allendale County homicide may be ballistically linked to the Moselle murder weapons — information prosecutor Creighton Waters said he'd never heard, despite daily contact with SLED. McCaslin ordered independent lab testing on unidentified male DNA recovered from under Maggie Murdaugh's fingernails, siding with the defense's argument that SLED's own retesting process risked destroying the sample. She ruled Murdaugh's 2023 sworn testimony — including his admission that he lied about being at the kennels the night his wife and son died — can be replayed for the new jury. She's also now personally managing jury summons after questions arose about whether court official Becky Hill's interference in the original trial began earlier than previously understood. Murdaugh's team separately wants the murder charges voided outright, alleging a SLED agent fabricated evidence presented to the grand jury; that motion has not been ruled on. The next hearing lands November 14, with the retrial set for April 5, 2027.

Nobody disputes what happened to Lindsay Clancy's three children. Not the prosecution. Not her own defense attorney, who told the jury in opening statements that she did it. Patrick Clancy testified about finding Cora, Dawson, and Callan in their Duxbury home. Surveillance footage, phone records, and the 911 call all corroborate the same account. And still, a massive online audience has decided the entire case is a cover-up. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Nightbird, joins Tony Brueski for a two-part conversation on why agreement from both sides of a courtroom isn't enough to satisfy people who've already made up their minds. She breaks down why a tragedy this size creates a psychological need for a villain worse than a mother suffering catastrophic psychosis — and why every fact introduced to correct the record just adds fuel instead of putting it out. Then the conversation turns to the people doing the posting themselves. They report real physical symptoms — shaking hands, sleepless nights, rage over strangers they will never meet. Scott explains how the case has become an outlet for something that has nothing to do with Duxbury, and what it's costing the people it's aimed at. Patrick Clancy is now receiving death threats over a version of events even Lindsay's own lawyer has never argued. Scott closes with what she'd say to someone who is completely certain of a story the evidence doesn't support.

A man who already confessed to killing Jared Bridegan stood up in a Jacksonville Beach courtroom in February 2026 and asked for a trial. Henry Tenon had pleaded to second-degree murder, agreed to fifteen years minimum, and signed on to testify against the two people prosecutors say paid him to do it. Then he changed his mind — and turned his own confession into something the state now has to prove without his cooperation. The man on trial in his place, for now, is Mario Fernandez, Tenon's former landlord, charged with first-degree murder and solicitation to commit a capital felony. An FBI agent walked jurors through Tenon's phone on a Saturday eighteen days before the murder — a drive from Fernandez's rental property toward Bridegan's neighborhood and his kids' gymnastics facility, then back. Prosecutors call it a rehearsal. The defense calls it a renovation errand and points to video of Fernandez meeting contractors at the property that same window. No DNA, fingerprints, or surveillance ties Fernandez to the truck linked to the ambush, and the lead detective has already conceded there's no physical evidence tying him to the gun. Three checks from Fernandez to Tenon, ten thousand dollars total, are dated weeks after Bridegan was killed — memo lines reading "landscaping" and "Kickstarter Good Luck!!" And a prosecutor let slip that a second person was there the night Bridegan died, someone still uncharged. Bridegan was thirty-three, a father of four, killed after stopping on a dark road to move a tire while his two-year-old rode in the back seat. Gardner's trial starts in September. Tenon's comes in 2027. His widow is watching all three unfold.

None of the four providers treating Lindsay Clancy in the months before her children died ever spoke to one another. Her nurse practitioner didn't know she'd seen her psychiatrist fourteen times in four months. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer and retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke join Tony Brueski to break down what that disconnect — and what came after it — mean for the jury at Plymouth Superior Court. Clancy searched "hallucinations" on her phone five days before the killings. A postpartum program turned her away for being overmedicated. After the deaths she jumped from a second-story window, breaking her spine and leaving her permanently paralyzed; she also slashed her neck and wrists and went into cardiac arrest in the ICU. The Commonwealth rested its case after fourteen days and more than seventy witnesses, and the defense started that same afternoon with three: Lindsay's mother, her sister, and a former coworker. Her mother testified about a daughter who texted that something was wrong. Patrick told the jury Lindsay described hearing a man's voice telling her to act — prosecutors have never disputed that she heard it, only argued she could have resisted. None of the prosecution's own psychiatrists or nurse practitioners had ever treated a patient with postpartum psychosis before this case. This episode traces the missed coordination, the witness gap, and what the jury is now weighing.

Every other person who was in that white Cadillac the night Tupac Shakur died is dead. Duane "Keffe D" Davis is the only one left to tell it — and the Tupac Shakur murder trial in Las Vegas is now entirely about whether his version can be trusted. Davis says he rode in the front passenger seat on September 7, 1996, watched Shakur pull up in a black BMW driven by Marion "Suge" Knight, and passed a handgun into the back seat. He says his nephew, Orlando Anderson, took it and opened fire. Shakur died six days later at 25. Anderson was never charged; he was killed in an unrelated shooting years ago. Knight isn't cooperating. The driver of the Cadillac is gone too. That leaves one voice, and it belongs to the man prosecutors say organized the whole thing. Davis told this story to a detective in 2008 who promised him immunity from anything he said in that room. He told it again in a BET documentary, in a 2019 memoir, and in paid interviews — after a retired detective published details first in a 2011 book. He was indicted in September 2023 and has pleaded not guilty, facing life in prison. His attorneys call the state's case fiction dressed up as fact, and they point out that with everyone else gone, there's no one left to check his story against. That's the problem sitting at the center of this trial. A story with no living witness to contradict it isn't the same as a proven story — but juries convict on testimony like this all the time. Hidden Killers lays out what Davis said, when he said it, and why being the last man standing might be the most dangerous position he's ever been in.

Nobody in the Lindsay Clancy courtroom has accused Patrick Clancy of anything. Online, it's a different story entirely. Retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott join Tony Brueski to unpack how a man who testified about burying his own three children became a target for two opposite theories running at the same time. On TikTok, a blood-stain expert's testimony about the windowsill turned into a fully built scenario overnight: Patrick shoving Lindsay through the glass. Photos of his new wife got placed next to old photos of Lindsay, hair and build matched up, and a wedding three years after his children's deaths became evidence of a plan. On a separate front, the case has split almost cleanly by gender. Men on X want maximum punishment for Lindsay and no engagement with the psychosis defense or the thirteen medications from five prescribers. Women online have taken the opposite position, casting Patrick as a narcissist and invoking Chris Watts by name. Patrick told the jury directly that he wasn't married to a monster. Lindsay's own attorney has told the jury she killed her children. Dreeke and Scott trace how a medical symptom got recast as a motive, why remarriage reads as guilt to both camps for opposite reasons, and what it costs a father to be tried by an audience that was never in the courtroom.

Brian Thompson's widow sat in the front row of a federal courtroom and cried while the man who killed her husband described the killing without a flicker of remorse. Luigi Mangione pleaded guilty to two counts of stalking in Thompson's death — no deal, no negotiation, nothing traded away. In his own statement to the judge, Mangione admitted he stalked the UnitedHealthcare CEO to an investor conference, posed as an investor overseeing tens of billions of dollars to learn exactly where and when Thompson would be, 3D-printed the gun, and traveled to New York intending to kill him. He referenced a broken back. He referenced the health insurance system. He never once mentioned Brian Thompson as a husband, a father, a person Paulette Thompson loved. Within hours of the plea, his defense team filed to dismiss the separate state murder case on double jeopardy grounds — the same case where jury selection had been set for September 8. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer sits down with Tony Brueski to unpack a defendant who has now beaten a terrorism charge, beaten the federal death penalty, and may be about to beat a state murder trial too. Federal sentencing is set for December 18; the guidelines suggest twenty-four to thirty years, but prosecutors outside the courthouse said they're pushing for life. Mangione is twenty-eight years old. This episode covers the confession, the legal maneuvering nobody saw coming until it happened, and what a stalking conviction actually means for a man who admitted to murder on the record.

There's a moment in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial that's harder to sit with than the autopsy testimony — and that's saying something. Jurors wept when the medical examiner described injuries consistent with asphyxia in two of Clancy's three children. Clancy sobbed at the defense table and said she couldn't go through it. The judge called multiple recesses. Her attorney, who'd torn into her psychiatrist for three straight hours days before, sat silent through the medical examiner's testimony. But it's her husband's words that this episode keeps circling back to. Patrick Clancy took the stand and described the day their three children died in a way the courtroom did not expect. Clancy has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, at the family's Duxbury home. Her defense rests on undiagnosed postpartum psychosis, built on a paper trail that's hard to look away from: thirteen psychiatric medications from five prescribers in four months, none of them coordinating, one hospital that allegedly turned her away for being overmedicated, a nurse practitioner who called her symptoms "quite common." Her journal entries, read into the trial record, chart a woman losing her grip on her own mind days before it happened. Bob Motta was in that courtroom watching the jury process all of it in real time. This episode walks through what jurors saw, what the medical record documents, and why a husband's single description of that morning is the detail nobody's stopped talking about.

Two timelines now sit in front of the jury deciding Mario Fernandez's fate in the Jared Bridegan murder-for-hire trial. Before the killing: January 29, 2022, when FBI records show Henry Tenon's phone leaving Fernandez's Potomac Avenue rental and tracing Bridegan's world — his neighborhood, his kids' gym, Jacksonville Beach — while Fernandez's phone pinged around the property. After the killing: three checks from Fernandez to Tenon, $2,000 and $3,000 dated March 28, 2022, and $5,000 dated April 4, with "landscaping" and "Kickstarter Good Luck!!" on the memo lines. Prosecutors read those two timelines as a rehearsal and a payoff. The defense reads them as a renovation day and a bill for property work — one memo, it argues, may actually say "roofing." Day 4 also produced the trial's sharpest concessions. Lead Detective Chris Johns agreed no DNA, prints, or footage put Fernandez in the blue F-150. ATF Agent Mike Stengel agreed investigators never searched the home where the truck turned up — and then told the jury investigators were informed in 2023 that the gun was destroyed shortly after the shooting. The defense disputes that account. Fernandez is charged as the orchestrator: first-degree murder and solicitation to commit a capital felony, for allegedly hiring his former tenant to kill his wife's ex-husband. Tony Brueski walks through why evidence that would sink a gunman means little against this charge, why the quiet cellphone testimony bears on it directly, and what it means that all three defendants — Fernandez, Shanna Gardner, and Henry Tenon — will face juries in the span of months. The verdict watch starts when testimony ends August 28. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In Massachusetts, a psychiatrist testified that she treated Lindsay Clancy fourteen times over four months and never detected psychosis. The last session was the day before Clancy allegedly killed her three children. In Las Vegas, Keffe D's defense attorney opened the Tupac Shakur murder trial by telling the jury that his client's two decades of confessions — to the FBI, on television, and in a published memoir — were fiction designed to sell copies. In Florida, Henry Tenon withdrew the guilty plea he entered after confessing to shooting Jared Bridegan on a dark road while a two-year-old daughter sat in the car. He told the judge his cooperation testimony was false and demanded his own trial. Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke work through the listener questions connecting these three active cases. Each trial has a moment where someone's story stopped adding up. A doctor who says she saw no signs. A defendant who told the same story for twenty years and now says he made it up. A confessed gunman who changed his mind about confessing. The listener questions in this episode land where the stories break — and where the juries have to decide what's real.

The Lindsay Clancy murder trial resumed Friday with Dr. Avram Mack, a psychiatrist called by the prosecution, continuing his rebuttal testimony after the lunch break. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and attorney Kevin Reddington is arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Mack testified that Clancy told him she heard a command voice tell her this was her "last chance" — that she had to kill her children before killing herself. He diagnosed her with major depressive disorder, which he agreed qualifies as a Mental Disease or Defect. His conclusion, though, was that she retained the capacity to know her actions were wrong, and therefore retained criminal responsibility. Reddington used cross-examination to chip away at Mack's credibility. Mack confirmed he's being compensated by the district attorney's office, that Park Dietz & Associates brought him in, and that he'd met with Clancy alongside a second forensic psychiatrist from that same firm — declining, notably, to discuss "the contact" between the two of them. He also testified Clancy had a "lifelong history" of medication resistance, then acknowledged that claim isn't documented anywhere in his own notes. What he did document: she avoided medication specifically because she was breastfeeding. The trial continues at Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to run several more weeks.Links Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Tupac Shakur's family sat in a Las Vegas courtroom and listened to Duane "Keffe D" Davis describe the night of September 7, 1996 in his own voice. The recording came from a 2008 police interview that opened with a promise: nothing Davis said could be used against him, and nothing would leave the room. The Tupac Shakur murder trial has now put every word in front of a jury. Davis, charged with murder with a deadly weapon and a gang enhancement, has pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors never claim he fired a shot. Their case is that he planned the retaliation after his nephew was beaten at the MGM Grand hours earlier, obtained the gun, and handed it toward the back seat of the white Cadillac, where Orlando Anderson allegedly used it. On the tape, Davis says the angle decided everything, and that Shakur's side of the street was the only thing that kept him from firing personally. The interview happened because a task force was chasing the killing of the Notorious B.I.G. Detectives testified they asked Davis nothing about Tupac and he raised it himself, contradicting denials he had given the FBI a decade earlier. No gun was ever recovered and the Cadillac was never found, and the other three men from the car are dead. What the state holds is Davis's recorded account, his memoir, his documentary appearances, and its argument that going public destroyed the confidentiality he was promised. The defense calls all of it fiction sold for money. The tape is in evidence now, and the promise protects nobody. This episode covers what jurors heard and what it costs both sides.

Dr. Avram Mack, a psychiatrist testifying for the prosecution, returned to the stand Friday afternoon in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is mounting an insanity defense built on claims of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Mack told the jury that Clancy described hearing a command voice tell her this was her "last chance" — that she needed to kill her kids before she could kill herself. In Mack's opinion, Clancy was suffering from major depressive disorder, which he classified as a Mental Disease or Defect. But he drew a hard line there: he says she still knew right from wrong, and still bore criminal responsibility. Cross-examination got interesting. Mack admitted the DA's office is paying him, that Park Dietz & Associates brought him onto the case, and that he'd met with Clancy alongside another forensic psychiatrist from that same firm — though he wouldn't discuss "the contact" between them. He also claimed Clancy had a "lifelong history" of resisting medication, then had to concede under questioning that this detail isn't actually in his notes. What is in his notes: she didn't want to take medication because she was breastfeeding. That's a meaningful gap between what he said on direct and what he can actually back up. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to run several weeks.Links Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The prosecution told the jury that the only connection between Jared Bridegan and the man accused of shooting him is Mario Fernandez. Fernandez allegedly wrote three checks totaling ten thousand dollars to Henry Tenon in the weeks after the killing. The defense says those checks were for legitimate property work — tile, tree removal, landscaping — and showed video of Tenon doing exactly that. Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke work through the listener questions hitting hardest on this case. A prosecutor revealed in a pretrial filing that Tenon was not alone the night Bridegan was killed. Someone fled on foot and someone else drove a truck from the scene. If a fourth person was involved and hasn't been charged, what does that do to the entire theory of the case? Tenon confessed, took a plea deal, and then withdrew it — telling the judge he wanted a trial and that his prior testimony was false. He won't be tried until 2027. Gardner starts in September. Fernandez is on trial now. Jared was a thirty-three-year-old Microsoft employee, a father of four, and a man killed with his two-year-old daughter ten feet away. Kirsten Bridegan is about to sit through three trials to find out who is telling the truth.

Lindsay Clancy, the 34-year-old Duxbury, Massachusetts mother charged with murdering her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — is standing trial in Plymouth Superior Court. Prosecutors allege she strangled the children with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, then attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. She's pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington is arguing insanity — severe postpartum psychosis compounded by psychiatric overmedication. Today the prosecution called in a rebuttal witness with a very different read. Dr. Avram Mack, a psychiatrist who reviewed Clancy's records and met with her in April 2026, testified that evaluating someone's mental state means looking at who they were at the moment of the act — not building a narrative around it. He described a woman uninterested in her own hygiene, indifferent to hospital food, and largely withdrawn from other patients, though she did accept visitors at times. He noted she's on numerous psychiatric medications, but at low doses. Mack's conclusion cuts against the defense's central theory on two fronts. He believes Clancy experienced a major depressive episode as part of major depressive disorder — not postpartum psychosis, and not bipolar disorder, since he says he found no evidence of mania or hypomania anywhere in her records. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands when it happened and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial is expected to run several more weeks.

Lindsay Clancy's murder trial is nearly over, and Day 17 belonged to one witness: Sheila Cavanaugh, the Brigham and Women's chaplain who sat with Clancy the day her breathing tube came out. Clancy's first words that morning are the most haunting piece of testimony this trial has produced, and this episode opens with them. Cavanaugh described about fourteen hospital visits, then roughly two hundred more at Tewksbury Hospital over three years. Across those visits, she testified, Clancy kept returning to a male voice that commanded her to kill her children and herself. Prosecutor Jennifer Sprague's cross-examination landed hard: none of Cavanaugh's notes mention any voice. But the burden in this courtroom runs one way — the Commonwealth must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Clancy was criminally responsible when she strangled her three children, acts no one disputes. Defense psychologist Paul Zeizel spent over thirty-five hours with Clancy and testified he found no evidence of malingering. And the phone forensics the state used to argue planning also captured Clancy searching about insomnia, bipolar disorder, and the symptoms of postpartum psychosis in the days and weeks before January 24, 2023. With closing arguments expected the week of August 24, Tony lays out the choice in front of the jury: distrust a chaplain with no stake in the case, believe a three-year lie no witness supported, or accept that the voice was real.

Dr. Phillip Resnick, a forensic psychiatrist and one of the country's leading experts on filicide — cases where a parent kills their own children — testified via Zoom today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children, 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan, with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her defense, led by attorney Kevin Reddington, is arguing severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Resnick evaluated Clancy in person about four months after the killings — over three and a half hours with her, another hour and a half with her parents. He described her as heavily medicated, matter-of-fact, blunted. Worth noting: the prosecution's own doctors didn't examine her until three years after the crime. Resnick, like the other evaluators, found no evidence she was faking or minimizing for sympathy — if anything, she downplayed her own symptoms. His diagnosis: Bipolar II with severe depression, postpartum anxiety that worsened with each pregnancy, and on the day of the killings, full postpartum psychosis — command hallucinations, a sense that her own body wasn't hers to control. His conclusion was blunt: she was unable to conform her conduct to the requirements of the law. Prosecutors pushed back hard on cross, leaning on how rare this kind of filicide actually is. After Resnick stepped down, the defense rested. Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out of the home running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial, underway in Plymouth Superior Court, is expected to last several weeks.

For nearly thirty years, Keffe D described the night Tupac Shakur was shot in Las Vegas. He detailed the beating of his nephew Orlando Anderson at the MGM Grand, the retaliation plan, the white Cadillac, and the shooting at a red light. He told law enforcement. He appeared on camera. He co-authored a book. Prosecutors opened by calling his own words the evidence — a pattern of admissions nobody asked him to make. His defense attorney told the jury to separate fact from fiction. Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke work through the listener questions landing hardest in this audience. The three other people in the car are dead. The prosecution's key evidence — the book — comes with a built-in defense argument that it was exaggerated to sell copies. The investigation has gaps, missing reports, and decades of agency distrust. Tupac's family sat in the courtroom as autopsy photos were displayed. One relative said thirty years of unfinished grief led him to stay in the room and look. Whether a conviction gives that family closure or just reopens everything is one of the questions this conversation refuses to leave alone.

Fourteen telehealth sessions. Four months of treatment. A last appointment the day before three children died in a Duxbury home. Lindsay Clancy's psychiatrist told the jury she never appeared psychotic. Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke dig into the listener questions this audience cannot stop arguing about. The prosecution says Clancy was lucid enough to plan an errand run, search Apple Maps, and time everything around her husband's absence. The defense says the medical system pumped her full of prescriptions and missed the crisis building inside her. After fourteen days of testimony, the prosecution has rested. The defense is calling witnesses who describe a mother begging doctors to hear her. Patrick Clancy testified over two days, told the jury he never saw her harm the children, and publicly forgave her. He is suing her medical providers. The jury has walked through the house on Summer Street and heard the 911 call where he screamed that she killed their children. Every fact in this trial serves both sides, and the listener questions in this episode land on the fractures the jury has to resolve.

"We did the other one." Five words Keffe D Davis offered voluntarily to an LAPD detective who was investigating a completely different murder. Daryn Dupree was working the Biggie Smalls homicide case when Davis told him that remark. Dupree testified on Day 3 of the murder trial that "the only other one was Tupac." Nobody asked Davis about Tupac. He brought it up himself. Before Dupree took the stand, the jury heard from Wade Lee, a former FBI agent who investigated Davis for drug trafficking in the late 1990s. Lee conducted a proffer interview with Davis in 1998, just two years after Tupac Shakur was shot and killed on the Las Vegas Strip. Davis was identified as a person of interest in the murder. The prosecution clarified a critical distinction on Day 3: Davis's proffer carried no immunity. Nothing he said in that room with federal agents was legally protected. Lee testified there was no proof Davis ordered a hit and that the FBI never independently verified Davis was in Las Vegas the night Tupac was shot. The jury submitted questions about what the FBI did with Davis's statements and why the case took twenty-seven years to reach a courtroom. Davis had served prison time on drug charges. Two law enforcement officers, from two separate agencies, heard Davis discuss Tupac's murder across different decades. Cross-examination of Dupree began at 3:43 p.m. and will continue when court resumes.

Taylor Kutis testified via Zoom on Day 3 of the Jared Bridegan murder trial and described conversations with Mario Fernandez that preceded the killing. Fernandez told Kutis he had "a special set of skills" from his time in the Army and mentioned "a contract with Gardner's family." After Bridegan was shot and killed on February 16, 2022, Fernandez described the murder to Kutis as "a hit-and-run." Kutis never called law enforcement. She heard what amounted to advance knowledge of a killing and a reframing of the murder afterward, and she never reported any of it. ATF agent Glenn Fahrig testified about DNA recovered from shell casings found at the murder scene. The DNA on the casings matched Jared Bridegan — not Mario Fernandez, not Shanna Gardner-Fernandez. Detective Johns faced cross-examination that targeted the prosecution's physical evidence. No cell phone data places Fernandez with Henry Tenon during the alleged rehearsal drive or on the day Bridegan was killed. No Fernandez DNA was recovered from the truck used in the ambush. Tenon originally pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and agreed to cooperate but later withdrew the plea and faces his own trial in 2027. The prosecution's "dry run" theory took direct fire, with Johns conceding gaps under questioning. Three Glock 10mm handguns were sold at Beaches Pawn Shop one month after the murder. Bridegan was killed with a 10mm round, but no forensic link to the murder weapon has been established. Victor Quiroz testified he met Fernandez a month after the killing with no discussion of the murder. Custody documents and family group chats framed Fernandez as an involved stepfather. The jury will not be sequestered. The trial continues with the prosecution's words set against a physical evidence trail full of gaps.

Three weeks into testimony at Plymouth Superior Court, the Lindsay Clancy trial produced something nobody anticipated. Both sides in the courtroom agree on the central fact — Lindsay killed her three children. The only question is criminal responsibility. Outside the courtroom, the internet turned the case into the most vicious gender war in true crime history. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Nightbird, joins Tony Brueski for the full three-part conversation on the psychology driving the divide. She covers the malfunction first. Why the brain demands a conspiracy proportional to the tragedy. Why debunking makes belief stronger. Why comment sections are full of people describing physical distress over a case with no connection to their lives. She moves into the gender split. Men on X are demanding punishment. Women on Threads and Instagram have constructed an alternate version of events where Patrick is a narcissist. Shavaun identifies what each side is actually fighting about — narcissistic-abuse survivors projecting their own experience onto Patrick, men channeling unrelated rage into a target that feels justified. The conversation closes on the audience itself. Where engagement becomes clinical. What death threats do to a man carrying Patrick's grief. Whether a woman locked into the conspiracy and sitting across from Shavaun could actually hear what she'd say. Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott discuss the complete psychology of the Lindsay Clancy culture war.

There's a version of this conversation where somebody says it's just the internet and none of it matters. Patrick Clancy would disagree. He's getting death threats from strangers who've never been inside Plymouth Superior Court. Creators with audiences in the hundreds of thousands are calling him a child killer. A Boston University researcher told the press that the social media response to this trial represents a failure of public discourse. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski for the final part of their conversation about the Lindsay Clancy culture war — and this one is about the audience. Not the case. Not the conspiracy theories. The people consuming the case and what it's doing to them. Shavaun explains how the Clancy case gives people something most daily life doesn't — permission to feel absolute moral certainty. The fury feels righteous. The engagement feels like justice work. The two-in-the-morning posting feels productive. She identifies this pattern as displacement aggression — rage that belongs elsewhere in your life finding a target that feels noble. The person doing it can rarely see it. She covers the moment when healthy engagement with a case tips into something a clinician would recognize. She addresses what sustained online hatred does to someone carrying the kind of grief Patrick carries. And she answers whether someone locked in can come back. Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Nightbird, discuss what the Lindsay Clancy trial exposed about the people watching it.

Warren Hudson, Jax Pitalo, and Morgan Seymour say they last saw Nolan Wells alive on the afternoon of July 4 on Horn Island. They say he chose to stay after meeting an unknown woman. They say his phone stayed on the boat, which is how it made it back to the mainland without him. Since those statements, all three have faced death threats and online harassment. Some have been forced to leave school or their homes. Their attorneys describe their lives as upended. They've hired a defamation lawyer connected to Trump's legal team to pursue claims against people spreading accusations. The accusations trace back to Nolan's mother, who says she opened the phone and found two empty Snapchat accounts on a device that belonged to a teenager who was constantly on social media. She believed someone tampered with it. That claim went national before any forensic expert touched the device. Six weeks later, the phone still hasn't been examined. The family has had it the entire time. They have forensic experts on retainer who they describe as being on standby. A single extraction could show whether data was deleted or whether Horn Island's lack of cell service explains the empty accounts. That extraction could clear three young men or build a case. Instead, the phone sits in Ocean Springs while attorneys on all sides argue about the terms of looking at it.

Lindsay Clancy, the 34-year-old Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, is now facing testimony from the person who sat with her in the days after. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is building an insanity defense around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Today it was Shelia Cavanaugh, a chaplain at Brigham and Women's Hospital, on the stand. Cavanaugh testified she first met with Clancy the morning after the killings, January 25, while Clancy was still intubated and surrounded by police and security. A week later, holding Clancy's hands, she heard her say, "I'm so glad my children are safe" — then, later in that same conversation, describe a male voice that had allegedly told her the children would never be safe unless she killed them and herself. Cavanaugh kept visiting weekly after Clancy's transfer to Tewksbury State Hospital, and says the grief hasn't faded. On cross, prosecutors got her to admit she never wrote a word about "hearing voices" in her Brigham notes — even though she documented plenty else, including Clancy's hopes for physical recovery. Clancy allegedly attempted suicide after the killings by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.

Men on X are posting that Lindsay Clancy should be tortured. Women on Threads have built a theory that Patrick Clancy is a covert narcissist who convinced Lindsay she was mentally ill. Both the prosecution and the defense say Lindsay killed Cora, Dawson, and Callan. Neither online camp has engaged with that. The men skip past the illness entirely. Thirteen medications, a Seroquel spiral, providers who allegedly never coordinated care — none of it registers. The women skip past the act. Command hallucinations, a defense concession, Patrick's own testimony describing a wife who got sick — none of it fits the narrative they've built. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to explain why each side lands where it does. She identifies a pattern among the women defending Lindsay — a significant number identify as survivors of narcissistic relationships, and they've mapped their own experience onto Patrick and Lindsay. Fighting for Lindsay feels like the fight they never had. Shavaun explains what happens when your own wound becomes the lens you see every story through, and whether you can tell the difference between projection and perception once the pattern locks in. She also covers why the men's punishment impulse bypasses evidence by design — because engaging with the complexity would collapse the certainty that makes the rage feel good. Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Nightbird, discuss why men and women are experiencing two completely different Lindsay Clancy trials.

There are two Lindsay Clancy trials happening at the same time. One is inside Plymouth Superior Court, where the prosecution and defense agree she killed Cora, Dawson, and Callan and are fighting over whether postpartum psychosis made her not criminally responsible. The other is on TikTok, where creators have decided Patrick Clancy is the real killer. The second trial has no rules of evidence, no cross-examination, and no judge. It has millions of viewers, and the people inside it describe physical symptoms — shaking, insomnia, rage that keeps them posting at two in the morning about a family they have never met. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski for the first of three conversations about what's happening to the people watching this case. She explains why the brain can't accept a story without a clear villain, why more evidence makes conspiracy believers dig deeper instead of backing off, and why the physical stress response people describe in the comment sections is real. This isn't performance. Their bodies are responding to the trial as if the threat is in their living room. Shavaun has spent three decades studying threat response and belief formation. Every mechanism she identifies in the Clancy audience maps to patterns she's seen in clinical work with cult survivors, political extremists, and people processing acute trauma. Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Nightbird, discuss why the Lindsay Clancy trial is doing something to the people watching it.

The jury in the Jared Bridegan murder trial watched a fifty-minute police interview with Mario Fernandez Saldana on Tuesday. He called the murdered father a keyboard warrior and speculated about the killing like a man discussing a stranger's misfortune. The interview was recorded before Fernandez became a suspect. He sat in a chair wearing an orange shirt and talked about Bridegan with casual contempt, the kind that only makes sense if he believed nobody would ever connect him to what happened on that Jacksonville Beach road. Day 2 in the Duval County courtroom opened with physical evidence from the murder scene. Crime scene detective Shane Jarman played his walkthrough video showing a tire placed in the road to force Bridegan out of his vehicle, shell casings on the pavement, and his body next to his SUV. DNA collected from that tire matched Henry Tenon. Surveillance footage tracked a blue Ford F-150 through Jacksonville Beach to the exact stretch where Bridegan was killed on February 16, 2022. Twenty seconds separated the truck and Bridegan's SUV in the same camera frame. Eight minutes after the shooting, the truck backed into a dead-end and a figure climbed out on foot. Defense attorney Jesse Dreicer drove a thirty-two-minute gap in the surveillance where no camera captured the truck. Lead detective Chris Johns answered with a gait comparison matching Tenon's walk to the figure on the murder scene footage. Business check stubs inside the F-150 showed ten thousand dollars paid to Tenon six weeks after the killing. The memo lines read landscaping, roof upkeep, and Kickstarter Good Luck. The money came from a company funded through the Gardner family trust, the same trust prosecutors say was the motive for murder. Tenon has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and is expected to testify later in the trial.

The Lindsay Clancy murder trial is being argued in Plymouth Superior Court and rebuilt on TikTok at the same time. Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke, a retired FBI special agent who ran the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, walk through both.The prosecution rested after calling more than seventy witnesses over fourteen days. Patrick Clancy described Lindsay's best day and her worst months. The 911 call stopped the courtroom. Medical witnesses admitted they never coordinated Lindsay's psychiatric care. The defense team used cross-examination to turn each provider into evidence that the system failed her.The defense started the same afternoon. Lindsay's mother testified about a daughter who said the medications were destroying her mind. The psychiatric experts are coming next. The jury has to decide whether Lindsay could understand what she was doing — and whether they trust the doctors who treated her or the ones who will evaluate her.Then the parallel trial. TikTok creators are comparing photos of Patrick's new wife to Lindsay. They took a blood stain expert's testimony and built a theory that he pushed her from the window. They've turned a command hallucination into his voice on the phone. No investigator supports any of it.

Some of Tupac Shakur's family members walked out of the Clark County courtroom on Tuesday before autopsy photographs appeared on screen. His cousin Zayd Akinyela stayed in his seat and watched photographs of a body that had been dead for six days when they were taken. Day 2 of the Duane "Keffe D" Davis murder trial put the physical record of Shakur's death in front of a jury for the first time since 1996. The prosecution called six witnesses. None were present at the shooting. Clark County medical examiner Dr. Lisa Gavin described three bullet wounds from Polaroid photographs taken during the original autopsy in September 1996. One round collapsed a lung. Shakur survived six days in a hospital before dying at twenty-five years old. The examiner who performed the original autopsy has since died. An MGM investigator authenticated casino surveillance footage from the night of a Mike Tyson heavyweight fight that ended in a ninety-second knockout. The footage survived on VHS tape because nobody bothered to erase it. It showed Shakur and Death Row Records associates attacking Davis's nephew Orlando Anderson in the casino lobby. Two and a half hours later, Shakur was shot four times from a white Cadillac on Flamingo Road. Former sergeant Kenneth Rios testified he made contact with Anderson after the beating. Anderson declined to press charges. No report was ever filed. Anderson later became the primary suspect in the murder and was killed in Compton in 1998. He was never charged. No murder weapon has been recovered in thirty years. The white Cadillac has never been found. All three other men believed to have been in the Cadillac are dead. The trial resumes Wednesday with additional prosecution witnesses. END LINKSListen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

TikTok creators are putting photos of Rachel Danis next to photos of Lindsay Clancy. Same hair, same build. They're calling it a replacement and treating it as proof that Patrick Clancy planned the deaths of his three children to start a new life. Tony Brueski and retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke examine the specific claims.The original conspiracy theory said Patrick killed the children and framed Lindsay. The version circulating during the trial adds a new claim — that he pushed her out the second-story window. That theory came from social media users who watched a forensic expert testify about blood stains and built a scene no one in Plymouth Superior Court has described.Lindsay told Patrick she heard a voice telling her to act. The conspiracy crowd has decided the voice was Patrick. The prosecution spent fourteen days arguing that Lindsay planned the killings and sent Patrick to the pharmacy. The defense argues Lindsay was psychotic. Neither legal team has ever suggested Patrick was involved in the children's deaths.Dreeke reads the claims, the specific trial footage being weaponized, and what happens to a private citizen when millions of people decide he's guilty based on livestream clips.

The defense in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial called its first four witnesses on Tuesday in Plymouth Superior Court. After the prosecution rested with seventy-two witnesses across fourteen days, the defense began building its insanity case in a single afternoon. Lindsay Clancy is charged with three counts of murder for the deaths of her three children on January 24, 2023. She has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. Susan Clancy, Lindsay's mother-in-law and a labor-and-delivery nurse practitioner for thirty-eight years, told the jury Lindsay was a wonderful mother who was begging for help. On cross-examination, the prosecutor revealed that Lindsay told her therapists she was not close with her in-laws and did not generally allow them to watch the children. Forensic psychiatrist Donald Condie testified that Lindsay went through more than thirteen medication changes in four months after her youngest son was born. He called her medical records somewhat sparse and said one doctor who cleared her for outpatient treatment twenty-three days before the deaths had never treated a single patient with postpartum psychosis. Psychologist Paul Zeizel has visited Lindsay forty-five times at the hospital where she remains paralyzed from a fall through a second-story window. He testified that Lindsay told her husband Patrick she heard a male voice telling her she had no choice. If the jury believes the voice was real, the insanity defense stands. The prosecution asked whether Zeizel suggested she fabricate the claim. The prosecutor held up an exercise band in front of the jury to demonstrate the force required in the deaths of the three children. Court resumes Wednesday with the cross-examination of Paul Zeizel. Over two hundred witnesses are expected before the trial concludes. END LINKSListen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy, 34, is on trial in Plymouth Superior Court on three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation for the January 24, 2023, deaths of her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months — allegedly strangled with exercise resistance bands in the family's Duxbury home. She has pleaded not guilty; defense attorney Kevin Reddington is arguing an insanity defense built on postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. The prosecution's cross of defense psychologist Dr. Paul Zeizel this week wasn't subtle, and it wasn't meant to be. They opened by questioning whether his prior forensic evaluations were done on behalf of the Commonwealth or the defense, then put a dollar figure on the table — about $300,000 a year in fees for his consulting work — the kind of number that's hard to un-hear. From there, the prosecution walked through a detail that lands harder than it sounds: Zeizel let Clancy use his phone early in their work together to call her husband, and when she got him on the line, she didn't ask about her kids. They also pressed on the voices Clancy reportedly told her husband, family, and a hospital chaplain she was hearing — voices that, according to the prosecution, never came up with any of her other psychological providers. Then came the paper trail. Prosecutors read from Tewksbury Hospital records documenting her presentation on some of the hardest days imaginable — her children's birthdays, the anniversary of their deaths — describing her as pleasant, engaged in activities, compliant with medication, and showing no self-injurious behavior. The cross ended with the prosecution accusing Zeizel of bias, calling Clancy "his patient" rather than a forensic subject. Patrick Clancy was out running errands when it happened and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues for several more weeks.Links Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is standing trial in Plymouth Superior Court for the deaths of her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan. Prosecutors allege she strangled them with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, then allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is mounting an insanity defense built on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Wednesday's testimony picked up right where the defense wanted it to. Clinical psychologist Dr. Paul Zeizel, called by Reddington, told jurors Clancy was gripped by intrusive thoughts so persistent she believed people could hear them — and that if they did, her children would be taken from her. She called a suicide hotline twice in December and was turned away because she didn't have a plan, which apparently was the bar. Zeizel didn't sugarcoat what these thoughts do to a person: they don't ease up, they don't take breaks, and by January, his testimony went, they'd escalated into her mind telling her to kill herself. He also made a point jurors will have to sit with — that someone can be in psychosis and still function well enough to get through a day. After extensive testing, Zeizel says he found no psychopathy, but did find bipolar disorder with postpartum psychosis, and no indication she understood the wrongness of what she was doing. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands when it happened and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial is expected to run several weeks.Links Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The prosecution rested in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial after fourteen days. The defense called three witnesses that same afternoon. Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke, a retired FBI special agent who ran the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, examine what comes next.Paula Musgrove testified that Lindsay texted her in October 2022 saying she was sick and something was wrong. She drove from Connecticut to Duxbury and kept returning for months. She told the jury Lindsay was afraid to drive, afraid the school would notice, and convinced the medications were destroying her mind.The prosecution's medical witnesses all said they never saw signs of psychosis. Under cross, none had treated postpartum psychosis before. The defense's psychiatric experts are coming next — the ones who will tell the jury whether Lindsay could understand what she was doing or control her actions.Dreeke examines the jury's state after absorbing the prosecution's case, whether three afternoon witnesses can shift the frame, and what happens when the experts on both sides give the jury contradictory opinions about the same woman's mind.

Fourteen days of prosecution testimony in the Lindsay Clancy trial at Plymouth Superior Court produced more than seventy witnesses. Tony Brueski and retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke examine the prosecution's case and what the jury is likely carrying after hearing it.The prosecution led with Patrick Clancy, the children's father. He described a confusing picture — a wife who was having her best day and a wife who had told him about intrusive thoughts about harming the children. Prosecutors played the 911 call. The courtroom stopped functioning. Then the stipulation took the question of who off the table entirely.The medical witnesses became the trial's pivot point. Dr. Jennifer Tufts, a psychiatrist who issued twelve of Lindsay's thirty prescriptions in four months, never met her patient face to face. Rebecca Jollotta, a psychiatric nurse practitioner, never consulted records from another clinic treating Lindsay at the same time. Neither one knew the full medical picture. Reddington's cross-examination made that undeniable.Dreeke reads the behavioral signals from a jury that heard the worst night of a family's life and a healthcare system that may have made it inevitable.

Bryan Kohberger's unsealed neuropsychological evaluation is the most revealing document in the case, and it has nothing to do with the legal fight. Dr. Rachel Lawson Orr spent six sessions over three months documenting behavioral patterns that Kohberger's own family confirmed had been present for years. Restricted facial expression. Absent social smiling. Conversations refocused back onto himself. Impulsive tendencies. Jokes carried past the point of engagement. Orr diagnosed him with eight conditions, including four previously undisclosed: developmental coordination disorder, depression, anorexia nervosa, and opioid use disorder from a teenage heroin addiction. She noted that Kohberger has met the criteria for autism spectrum disorder since childhood. His parents and sisters told Orr they had tried extensive social coaching for years. It hadn't worked. Forum posts attributed to Kohberger at sixteen describe the same pattern in his own words: no emotion, depersonalization, disconnection from his family, and a belief that the condition made him smarter. Orr's central finding ties the portrait together: "overall poor" insight. The clinical term for a man who can't see himself the way everyone else sees him.

Lindsay Clancy's providers never talked to each other. Luigi Mangione confessed to murder and was convicted of stalking. Alex Murdaugh's prosecutor found out about evidence in his own case from the opposing counsel. Jennifer Coffindaffer, a retired FBI Special Agent, joins Tony Brueski to cover all three cases in a single conversation. The Clancy trial at Plymouth Superior Court has entered its third week. The testimony has shown four providers prescribing thirteen medications without any coordination. Clancy searched "hallucinations" and "intrusive" on her phone in the days before the killings. She jumped from a window afterward and is permanently paralyzed. The clinical research puts the infanticide rate for postpartum psychosis at four percent. Coffindaffer examines whether planning and psychosis can coexist and what the provider failures tell an investigator. Mangione pleaded guilty in federal court to two stalking counts after telling the judge he killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. He posed as a billion-dollar investor to locate the conference. His defense filed a double jeopardy motion within hours to block the state murder case. Since December 2024, he has avoided terrorism charges, a federal murder conviction, and the death penalty. Coffindaffer covers what the timeline of dropped charges looks like from an investigative standpoint. At Murdaugh's pretrial hearing, the defense raised a potential Allendale County weapons connection the prosecution had never heard of. The judge ordered independent DNA testing on Maggie Murdaugh's fingernail evidence and moved the retrial out of the Colleton County circuit entirely. Coffindaffer covers what the hearing says about SLED. Lindsay Clancy and Alex Murdaugh have pleaded not guilty. All individuals are presumed innocent.

Dr. Paul Zeizel, Lindsay Clancy's longtime clinical psychologist, took the stand today in the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother's murder trial — and gave jurors the closest thing yet to Clancy's own account of what happened inside that Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy is accused of strangling her three children, 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan, with exercise resistance bands. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorney Kevin Reddington is mounting an insanity defense built on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Zeizel testified he'd seen Clancy more than 40 times before that day. He wasn't allowed near her in the surgical ICU until a court order got him in at 12:30 p.m. on February 4 — by then she was handcuffed to the bed, two state troopers posted outside the door. He said she didn't know where she was or what day it was, but she knew her own name, and she remembered the killings, faintly, like something seen through fog. He let her use his phone to call her husband Patrick — twice, the first time going unanswered — and she told Patrick she loved him, then said a male voice had ordered her to kill their children and then herself. Zeizel didn't think she was lying. He also testified that roughly 80% of people experiencing psychosis report hearing voices. Clancy allegedly attempted suicide afterward by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Patrick Clancy has since relocated to Manhattan. Zeizel's testimony resumes Wednesday. Trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court before Judge William F. Sullivan.

Luigi Mangione told a federal judge he shot Brian Thompson in Manhattan and Thompson died. He said he knew it was illegal. He described stalking the UnitedHealthcare CEO to an investor conference, printing a weapon, and traveling across state lines to carry out the killing. There was no plea agreement. Within hours, his defense team filed a motion that could end the state murder case entirely. New York's double jeopardy law says a defendant can't be prosecuted twice for the same conduct. Mangione's lawyers argue the federal guilty plea now blocks the September 8 state trial on second-degree murder charges. The Manhattan DA's office is prepared to fight the motion. Justice Gregory Carro will decide whether the state case moves forward. The federal sentencing guidelines suggest 24 to 30 years, but the judge isn't bound by them. Prosecutors are seeking life. Sentencing is December 18. This episode traces the full arc: Mangione's weeks of planning, his arrest at a McDonald's in Pennsylvania, the terrorism charges thrown out in September 2025, the death penalty dismissed in January 2026, and the open plea that landed with no deal attached. It also examines UnitedHealthcare's claim denial rates, the AI algorithm that replaced clinical judgment, the voluntary industry pledges that produced no measurable reform, and the defamation law firm the company hired to manage the fallout. Thompson was 50 years old, a father of two, and was walking to work when Mangione shot him from behind. His family called the plea an important step toward justice and asked the court to make the sentence match the crime.

The first witness the jury heard in the Jared Bridegan murder trial wasn't a detective. It was a woman named Jonelle Cruz who found Bridegan's two-year-old daughter Bexley alone in a car seat on a dark Jacksonville Beach road, shaking and asking about her dad. Prosecutors opened Monday in a Duval County courtroom by calling the killing a targeted ambush. Mario Fernandez Saldana, a former Army drill sergeant who married Bridegan's ex-wife Shanna Gardner, is the first of three defendants to face a jury. He sat listening to the evidence without visible expression. Assistant State Attorney Christina Simak Stifler told the jury Fernandez recruited a man named Henry Tenon for the job. GPS data from a vehicle linked to Tenon showed two trips along Bridegan's exact route before the murder on February 16, 2022. A dark blue Ford F-150 with a tire in its bed was seen near the road an hour before the shooting. Stifler explained the motive: a family trust. Gardner's parents founded Stampin' Up!, a company generating hundreds of millions in annual revenue. An irrevocable trust blocked Gardner from becoming trustee while she had legal entanglements with Bridegan. As long as he was alive fighting for custody of their twins, she couldn't touch the money. After Bridegan was dead, ten thousand dollars in checks from a company funded through the trust were deposited into accounts linked to Tenon. Phone records show thirty-five calls between Fernandez and Tenon in February 2022 alone. Defense attorney James Hill pushed back. No eyewitness places Fernandez at the scene. No DNA ties him to the road. Checks the prosecution calls payment for murder carry memo lines reading landscaping and roof upkeep. Bridegan's wife Kirsten took the stand and told the jury she knew who was responsible before police named a suspect. Bexley described the shooting in her own words: Boom, Boom, Boom, Daddy on the ground. Three defendants face separate trials for one murder. Gardner's trial starts in September with Jose Baez as her attorney. What happens in this courtroom reshapes both cases that follow.

Alex Murdaugh's pretrial hearing on August 14 produced a moment prosecutors did not expect. The defense told Judge Debra McCaslin that weapons from a recent Allendale County murder may be connected to the Murdaugh murder weapons. Creighton Waters, the lead prosecutor, said in open court he had never heard of it — despite speaking with SLED on a daily basis. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski to analyze what happened in the Lexington County courtroom and what it says about the integrity of the case SLED built. McCaslin ordered that fingernail DNA from Maggie Murdaugh be released to the defense for independent testing. The existing SLED analysis identified an unknown male profile under her fingernails but could not establish whose it was. The defense had fought for months against SLED conducting its own retesting, arguing the process would consume the remaining sample. The venue has been moved out of the entire judicial circuit that includes Colleton County, where the Murdaugh family held the local prosecutor's seat for three generations. McCaslin will oversee jury selection directly — a decision the defense pushed for after the first trial was overturned due to jury tampering by the clerk of court. Murdaugh's sworn testimony from 2023 will be played for the new jury. That includes his admission that he lied about being at the kennels. The prosecution lost twelve and a half hours of financial crimes evidence the Supreme Court said should not have been allowed. Coffindaffer examines what the Allendale weapons revelation tells an investigator and how much of the prosecution's current position traces back to how SLED built this case. Alex Murdaugh has pleaded not guilty. He is presumed innocent. Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer.

Dr. Elizabeth Laposata, a forensic pathologist testifying via Zoom for the defense, walked jurors through some of the most graphic evidence yet today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Laposata testified she reviewed police reports, grand jury minutes, and medical records from that night. She described knife wounds on Clancy's wrists and neck marked by numerous hesitation cuts — a pattern she said is common in suicide attempts. She also detailed a Jefferson fracture to Clancy's neck and vertebrae, an injury typically caused by a direct hit to the head in a fall or a dive into shallow water, along with spinal cord damage, broken ribs, and injury to the voice box and thyroid. That spinal injury, Laposata testified, also compromised Clancy's ability to regulate her own body temperature. On cross-examination, prosecutors raised lab violations from 20 years ago, which Laposata dismissed as minor — comparing them to something as trivial as a burnt-out light bulb. They also pressed her on a prior case where she'd testified that consciousness is lost within 5 to 10 seconds of strangulation, but that continuous pressure is required for death. On redirect, Laposata drew a distinction: manual strangulation involves varying pressure, but ligature strangulation — the method alleged here — doesn't, and she noted the exercise bands used would have applied constant force.

Duane "Keffe D" Davis walked into a Clark County courtroom Monday in a blue suit and tie, scanned the audience, and sat down next to his attorney. Thirty years after the most famous unsolved murder in American music, someone was finally sitting in front of a jury. One juror told the court during selection that she'd never heard of Tupac Shakur. Davis is the first person ever charged in the killing of Tupac Shakur. The case had been cold for nearly three decades before Davis's own memoir provided the probable cause for his arrest in September 2023. The charges are murder with a deadly weapon and a gang enhancement. Chief Deputy District Attorney Binu Palal opened Monday by showing the jury security camera footage from the MGM Grand on September 7, 1996. Shakur and several Death Row Records associates attacked Davis's nephew Orlando Anderson in the casino lobby after a Mike Tyson fight. Two and a half hours later, Shakur was shot four times from a white Cadillac at a stoplight on Flamingo Road. He died six days later at twenty-five years old. The prosecution's case rests on Davis's own words. He described the shooting in a 2008 police interview under immunity. He appeared in a BET documentary. He described it on podcasts and in magazine interviews. Then he published a memoir called Compton Street Legend, put his name on the cover, and identified himself as the shot caller. Defense attorney Michael Sanft told the jury Davis wrote the book for one reason: money. The story would sell whether it was true or not. In March 2025, from a jail cell, Davis told reporters he was innocent and wasn't even in Las Vegas that night. No murder weapon was recovered. The white Cadillac was never found. All three other men from that car are dead. Davis is sixty-three and faces mandatory life without parole. The prosecution asks a jury to convict on a man's own words. The defense asks that same jury to believe he lied for thirty years because it paid.

After fourteen days and more than seventy witnesses, the prosecution rested Monday in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial in Plymouth Superior Court. The same afternoon, the defense called its first witness. It was Lindsay's mother. Lindsay Clancy is charged with three counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of her three children on January 24, 2023. Cora was five. Dawson was three. Callan was eight months old. The defense entered an insanity plea. Despite months of escalating symptoms, Lindsay was never formally diagnosed with postpartum psychosis. That diagnosis is now the center of the defense's case. The prosecution spent two weeks building its case through first responders, medical examiners, and a digital forensics expert. Apple Watch data recorded Lindsay's heart rate and physical activity the afternoon of January 24. Four days earlier, her phone showed a search for how to treat a sociopath. Prosecutors argued the data proved a woman functional enough to form intent. Prosecutors showed the jury family photographs of the children building a snowman, taken hours before they died. A seven-minute 911 recording played without interruption. Patrick Clancy's voice filled the courtroom. Paula Musgrove took the defense stand and described what the prosecution's seventy witnesses hadn't. Lindsay told her family in December 2022 she was having thoughts of harming the children. Musgrove moved in because Lindsay was afraid to be alone with them. She watched her daughter deteriorate week by week while more than thirteen medications changed without resolving the symptoms. Lindsay told her mother the medications were destroying her mind and the person taking those pills wasn't her. Lindsay's sister testified she reported suicidal ideation every day for a month. A coworker testified Lindsay asked about the Andrea Yates case: how could a mother hurt her children. Under cross-examination, a doctor who cleared Lindsay for outpatient treatment twenty-three days before the deaths admitted she had never treated a single patient with postpartum psychosis. She had no clinical experience with the condition the defense says destroyed Lindsay's mind. Over two hundred witnesses are expected before the trial concludes. Psychiatric forensic specialists are next. The jury will decide whether Lindsay Clancy planned a crime or whether her brain was failing while every provider she saw missed what her family could see.

Dr. Donald Condie, a clinical and forensic psychiatrist specializing in psychopharmacology, testified today for the defense in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Condie told jurors he reviewed Clancy's full medical file from Dr. Tufts and found it thin — sparse enough to raise questions about what was actually being tracked. He testified that psychosis patients typically report auditory hallucinations, and that Clancy did describe hearing voices and intrusive thoughts. In his assessment, she exhibited the full symptom profile that precedes postpartum psychosis. He also noted a basic gap in her care: thyroid issues can trigger postpartum complications, yet neither Dr. Tufts nor NP Jollotta ever ordered the blood test that would have ruled it out. When Clancy called the Aspire hotline for help, Condie testified she was told that without a specific suicide plan, her level of care couldn't be increased. Despite medication and repeated attempts to get help, he said, her symptoms never let up. On cross-examination, prosecutors pointed out that Condie's CV lists no direct postpartum experience and pressed him on whether he'd reviewed police reports. They also got him to confirm Clancy never told her own providers she was hearing voices — a point the defense addressed on redirect, when Condie testified she may have stayed quiet out of fear of losing her nursing license or her children. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Susan Clancy, Patrick Clancy's mother, took the stand today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication at the time of the killings. Susan Clancy testified that her daughter-in-law came to her struggling with anxiety, depression, and sleeplessness, and asked for help finding a doctor — not the picture of a woman hiding what was happening to her. She described Lindsay as a mother who loved and adored her kids. Under cross-examination, prosecutors pressed on an ER visit for anxiety and insomnia, and on medications Susan Clancy admitted even she found confusing to manage. Then came a question that never should have made it out of the prosecutor's mouth — asking whether Susan Clancy knew murder is considered a mortal sin under Catholic doctrine. Judge William Sullivan called an immediate sidebar and struck it from the record. On redirect, jurors heard that Lindsay had been turned away from a treatment program for being overmedicated, and that she'd called a suicide hotline twice before January 24. Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. She allegedly attempted suicide afterward by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.

Luigi Mangione told a federal judge on August 14 that he killed Brian Thompson. He said he shot the UnitedHealthcare CEO in Manhattan and knew it was illegal. The conviction that followed was for stalking — not murder. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski to cover the plea and the strategy it appears to be built on. The federal murder charge was dismissed months before the hearing. Terrorism charges were thrown out when a judge found the evidence legally insufficient. What remained were two stalking counts carrying a maximum sentence of life in prison. Mangione pleaded guilty to both without a deal. He described for the court how he identified the location of the UnitedHealthcare investor conference by posing as a financial manager overseeing more than fifty billion dollars. The company gave him the address within an hour of his email. He traveled to New York, arrived ahead of Thompson, and waited. Mangione's defense team filed a double jeopardy motion to block the state murder case before he was back in his cell. The state trial had been scheduled for September jury selection. His attorneys asked for this federal hearing three days before it. Sentencing is set for December 18. The guidelines recommend twenty-four to thirty years. Mangione is twenty-eight, which means the low end would put his release in his early fifties. Prosecutors have publicly stated they are seeking life. Coffindaffer breaks down what the timing reveals about legal strategy, what the level of preoperational planning says to an investigator, and whether this sequence of dropped and reduced charges amounts to a system being outmaneuvered.

Lindsay Clancy's nurse practitioner did not know her patient had seen a psychiatrist fourteen times in four months. The psychiatrist did not know Clancy had checked herself into a locked psychiatric ward on New Year's Eve. No one provider had a complete picture of how fast she was deteriorating. Jennifer Coffindaffer, a retired FBI Special Agent, joins Tony Brueski to cover testimony from three weeks of trial at Plymouth Superior Court. The evidence has revealed what the medical system around Lindsay Clancy looked like before she killed Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan on January 24, 2023. Clancy told providers she was experiencing intrusive thoughts she had never had before. She described herself as completely hopeless. She searched her phone for information about hallucinations and the word "intrusive" in the days before the killings. The postpartum treatment program she tried to enter refused her because she was already on too many medications. The prosecution alleges Clancy acted deliberately and rationally. The defense argues she was suffering from postpartum psychosis — a condition occurring in roughly one of every thousand births that carries a documented four percent rate of infanticide. Her suicide attempt left her permanently paralyzed from the waist down. Coffindaffer covers whether the provider coordination failures matter in a case where three children are dead and what the clinical research says about psychosis and planning coexisting. She examines how the jury weighs a system that let a mother fall through every available safety net. Lindsay Clancy has pleaded not guilty. She is presumed innocent.

Mica Miller's husband was a Myrtle Beach pastor who stood in front of his congregation the morning after she died and preached a full service before acknowledging her death at all. When he finally addressed it, he used three words that would make him one of the most scrutinized men in the country: he called her death "self-induced." He told the church not to discuss it. A body language expert later told NewsNation there were no visible signs of grief. John-Paul Miller's pattern didn't start with Mica. His father Reginald Miller was convicted on federal charges after forcing foreign students at his Bible college into labor. Two 2025 lawsuits accuse both men of using their family's churches and schools to target minors. John-Paul has denied every allegation. His first wife's sworn affidavit states he confessed a prostitution addiction to his church before he ever met Mica. Federal prosecutors indicted Miller in December 2025 on cyberstalking and false statements, alleging he spent seventeen months tracking Mica with devices on her vehicle, distributing an intimate photo without consent, contacting her more than fifty times in one day, and systematically interfering with her finances. She went to the Myrtle Beach police eight times. He held healthcare power of attorney over her while she was accusing him of controlling her life. Four days after Mica's death, Miller was seen at a bar with Suzie Skinner, a congregant whose paralyzed husband had drowned after confronting Miller. He married Skinner thirteen months later with armed guards. His federal trial has been pushed to October 2026. Netflix's three-part documentary "Death of the Pastor's Wife" premieres August 26.

Three things happened inside Plymouth Superior Court during the third week of the Lindsay Clancy murder trial. The prosecution's own psychiatric witnesses described a woman desperate for help she never received. The autopsy testimony reduced jurors and the defendant to tears. And every piece of evidence presented continued to contradict the conspiracy theory millions of people are spreading on social media. Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months. She admits killing her children. Her defense argues postpartum psychosis and overmedication. Prosecutors allege deliberate, rational action. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries was in the courtroom for all of it. He takes on the prosecution's growing witness problem and what it was like being in the room when Lindsay collapsed during testimony about her daughter's autopsy. He also addresses why the TikTok theory that Patrick Clancy framed his wife dies on contact with the trial record.

Alex Murdaugh walked into a Lexington courtroom on August 14 wearing a dark blue suit and striped tie. It was the first time he appeared in civilian clothes since being sentenced for stealing twelve million dollars in November 2023. Judge McCaslin had ordered the change days earlier, ruling that showing a defendant in prison clothes and shackles for convictions not before her court risks prejudicing potential jurors. Murdaugh has pleaded not guilty to the murders of his wife Maggie and their son Paul.His defense team then won on nearly every front. McCaslin granted a venue change out of the 14th Judicial Circuit, where the Murdaugh family's ancestors served as chief prosecutors for most of the last century. She allowed independent testing of unknown male DNA found under Maggie Murdaugh's fingernails and placed conditions on how prosecutors can use Murdaugh's sworn testimony from 2023, limiting it to testimony about the killings.McCaslin personally assumed control of jury selection after Dick Harpootlian raised concerns about when former clerk Becky Hill's interference with the original jury started. Hill pleaded guilty to perjury and obstruction after the South Carolina Supreme Court overturned Murdaugh's conviction.Near the end of the hearing, the defense claimed weapons from a recent Allendale County homicide may be connected to the Murdaugh murder case. Lead prosecutor Creighton Waters said he had never heard of it. A motion to throw out the murder indictments over alleged evidence fabrication by SLED's lead case agent is still pending. Next hearing: November 14. Retrial: April 5, 2027. Links:Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Dr. Michael Vulfovich, an ER physician called as an expert witness for the defense, took the stand today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication at the time of the killings. Vulfovich testified that after reviewing Clancy's medical records, her injuries were consistent with a suicide attempt — not staged, not ambiguous, just consistent with someone who went out a second-story window intending not to come back. He also walked jurors through how bad it got afterward: at one point during treatment, Clancy coded and needed a blood transfusion just to stay alive. That's not a detail the defense needed to embellish. The medical record did the work. Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window after the killings, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out of the home running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial, underway in Plymouth Superior Court, is expected to last several weeks.Links Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Patrick Clancy sat on the witness stand at Plymouth Superior Court and described finding the bodies of his three children. He testified for two days. Both the prosecution and defense questioned him. Neither accused him of anything. Both treated him as a father who lost everything. On TikTok, millions of people believe he orchestrated the entire thing. The evidence they cite is a pair of boots. Lindsay Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months. She admits she killed them. Her attorney Kevin Reddington admits it. The trial is not about who killed those children. It is about whether Lindsay was criminally responsible. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries was in the courtroom for Patrick's testimony and has been present throughout the trial. He examines what the evidence actually proves about Patrick Clancy, why the conspiracy persists despite unanimous agreement in the courtroom, and whether a jury in 2026 can remain sealed off from the theories flooding their social media feeds.

Lindsay Clancy's own mother took the stand this week, and what she admitted under oath is going to sit with people. Paula Musgrove told the court that back in early-to-mid December 2022 — weeks before three-year-old Dawson, five-year-old Cora, and seven-month-old Callan were allegedly strangled with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Duxbury home — Lindsay told her, and told Patrick, that she was having thoughts of harming her children. That's not a vague warning sign in hindsight. That's Lindsay Clancy, by her mother's own account, saying the words out loud. And here's the part that's going to generate debate: Musgrove testified she never tried to get Lindsay committed, and never called 911. Not once. Instead, the prosecution walked the jury through a string of text messages between mother and daughter — check-ins about sleep, about mood, about how Lindsay was holding up day to day. Musgrove said on the stand that she kept those messages encouraging on purpose. She didn't raise the red flags she was seeing because she didn't want to pile more weight onto a daughter already buckling under it. Clancy, 34, faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty. Her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is building an insanity defense around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication — and testimony like this, showing warning signs the people closest to her chose not to escalate, is exactly the kind of thing both sides will spin in opposite directions. After the killings, Clancy allegedly jumped from a second-story window in an attempted suicide; she's now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.

Lindsay Clancy messaged her psychiatric nurse practitioner in early December 2022 and said she "really needs help," would "try anything," and was having "intrusive thoughts I never had before." The NP, Rebecca Jollotta, testified at trial that she told Lindsay those symptoms were "quite common" in women with postpartum depression and anxiety. She adjusted the medication. Lindsay's condition kept deteriorating. Her journal entries, read aloud in Plymouth Superior Court, show a woman whose guilt over breastfeeding and sleep training had become consuming, whose brain fog left her unable to plan past the next nap time, and who wrote the words "I want to die" to her husband. She'd been prescribed thirteen medications across four months by five providers. A Rhode Island hospital allegedly turned her away, saying she'd been overmedicated. Days before January 24, 2023, she searched online for whether she was a psychopath. Patrick Clancy testified his wife was having "one of her best days" on the day prosecutors say three children died. Lindsay Clancy has pleaded not guilty. Her defense alleges undiagnosed postpartum psychosis.

Lindsay Clancy, the 34-year-old Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, had her defense's turn on the stand today. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and attorney Kevin Reddington is building an insanity defense around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Three women who knew her best took the stand. Margaret Hamp, a labor and delivery nurse who worked alongside Clancy, described her as empathetic, caring, the kind of coworker who asked for parenting tips. Hamp also recalled an anxiety episode — Clancy watching a baby monitor, Cora crying, Patrick not picking up, and Clancy calling police for a wellness check because she couldn't reach him. Then Clancy's sister, Allison Ozga, testified that Lindsay changed dramatically around Thanksgiving — deepening depression, suicidal thoughts. On cross, prosecutors got Ozga to admit that as a mandated reporter, she never once felt Clancy was a danger to herself or the kids. Finally, Clancy's mother, Paula Musgrove, painted the fuller picture: a daughter who was scared, sleepless, afraid to drive, afraid to be alone — and who told both her and Patrick that she'd had thoughts of harming the children. That last detail is the one the defense needs jurors to sit with, and the one prosecutors will spend the rest of the trial trying to reframe. Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window after the killings and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.

Lindsay Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is standing trial on three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation after prosecutors allege she killed her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She's pleaded not guilty. Her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is mounting an insanity defense, arguing severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Today the jury didn't hear from a witness who was in the house. They heard from her phone. Digital evidence examiner Ian Whiffin walked the court through what he pulled from Clancy's iPhone and Apple Watch — tools he built himself, because apparently off-the-shelf software doesn't cut it when a device update can quietly change what's recoverable. The data shows her heart rate swinging between 50 and 122 beats per minute on the day her children died, before the devices stopped logging her vitals at 5:23 p.m. Prosecutors also walked him through "flight climb" data — recorded on both devices with mismatched timestamps — and search history that included postpartum psychosis symptoms and depression medications. On cross, Whiffin conceded Apple Health isn't gospel — it misfires sometimes — and confirmed the trail goes dark after 5:38 p.m. Reddington then zeroed in on something harder to explain: device activity logged for January 25th, while Clancy was unconscious in a hospital bed. Whiffin's answer, on redirect, was procedural — the phone syncs with the watch, he can't pull data from the watch directly, and if police handled either device, the phone would record that too. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands when it happened and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.Links Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy's father sat in the gallery at Plymouth Superior Court and watched the medical examiner begin testimony about his granddaughter's autopsy. He started crying. His daughter was sobbing at the defense table, telling the room she couldn't do it. The judge called a recess and had Clancy wheeled out of the courtroom. Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months. She admits killing her children but argues postpartum psychosis and overmedication caused a psychotic break. Prosecutors allege she planned the killings. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries was in the courtroom during the autopsy testimony and throughout Week 3. He walks through what the jury is seeing that the livestream cannot capture — the reactions, the body language, and what Lindsay Clancy actually looks like after twenty-one days in that chair. He also examines whether jurors can follow the judge's instruction to set their emotions aside after seeing those photographs.

Lindsay Clancy called a suicide hotline twice before her three children died. The psychiatrist treating her at the time had no idea. That psychiatrist, Dr. Jennifer Tufts, took the witness stand this week as a prosecution witness at Plymouth Superior Court — and defense attorney Kevin Reddington spent three hours pulling her treatment decisions apart. Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months. The defense argues she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and was overmedicated by the providers now testifying against her. Tufts treated Lindsay for four months through telehealth. She never met her patient in person. She did not request records from another clinic. When Reddington confronted her with her own medical notes, she told the courtroom her written documentation did not reflect what she meant. Criminal defense trial attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries has been in the courtroom watching the prosecution's witness parade all week. Five mental health professionals took the stand, and every one of them described a woman who was cycling through medications, losing sleep, and asking for help she wasn't getting. Motta breaks down what he saw, what the jury is absorbing, and whether the prosecution's case is surviving its own witnesses.

Lindsay Clancy's treatment plan barely moved after a nurse practitioner flagged bipolar disorder in 2022 — and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott explains why that matters, while defense attorney Eric Faddis tackles an entirely different fight brewing online. Lindsay has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder after the deaths of five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson, and eight-month-old Callan. Her defense concedes she killed them and argues postpartum illness left her not criminally responsible. Prosecutors argue she knew what she was doing. Months before the killings, nurse practitioner Rebecca Jollotta told Lindsay and her husband she might have bipolar disorder, based partly on a forty-eight-hour stretch without sleep after starting an antidepressant. She added an antipsychotic used for bipolar disorder and insomnia, but the antidepressant kept going. Dr. Jennifer Tufts testified she considered bipolar disorder that December and ruled it out for lack of mania — euphoria, high energy, grandiosity. McLean Hospital staff discussed sleep loss tipping someone hypomanic before discharging Lindsay with a diagnosis of major depressive disorder. Shavaun walks through how long a bipolar diagnosis typically takes to land, why depression gets diagnosed first almost every time, and whether the standard clinical checklist was ever built with a mother of three small children in mind. From there, Faddis shifts to Patrick Clancy, who's now being accused on TikTok of murdering his own children — compared to Chris Watts, blamed for pushing Lindsay from a window — despite Lindsay's own defense team conceding in open court that she did it. Faddis explains what legal options actually exist against creators reaching millions of people, and why "theory" framing doesn't always hold up.

Henry Tenon confessed to killing Jared Bridegan, took a plea deal, and agreed to testify against the two people prosecutors say hired him. Then, four years and one day after the shooting, he stood in front of a judge and asked for a trial instead — and prosecutors let him. That reversal opened the Bridegan murder-for-hire trial in Jacksonville, a case already missing pieces prosecutors haven't explained. A grand jury charged Mario Fernandez on four counts, one of them tied directly to the fact that Bridegan's two-year-old daughter was in the car when he was shot. Prosecutors dropped that count two weeks before jury selection and gave the court no reason. Bank records tell their own story. Tenon had 52 cents to his name in January 2022. Within weeks of the killing, $10,000 in checks from a rental company owned by Fernandez and Shanna Gardner landed in his account — memo lines reading "landscaping and cleaning" and "keeping up with the roof." A later $5,000 check allegedly carried the memo "Kickstarter" and "Good luck!" Fernandez's defense says the payments covered real property work and that nothing was paid before Bridegan died. Prosecutors point to more than three dozen calls between Fernandez and Tenon during the month of the shooting, an unidentified second person who drove away from the scene in a pickup truck, and a jailhouse informant who claims Fernandez described the conspiracy from behind bars and tried to pin it on Jared's widow, Kirsten. Fernandez has pleaded not guilty. His trial runs August 17 through 28. Gardner's trial follows, and Tenon now waits for a March 2027 date of his own.

Fourteen telehealth appointments. Not one of them in person. Lindsay Clancy's psychiatrist treated her for months without ever sitting in the same room as her — and defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to explain why that detail became one of the more damaging moments of the trial so far. Dr. Jennifer Tufts told the jury Lindsay showed no signs of psychosis. Under cross-examination from Kevin Reddington, she acknowledged she didn't have Lindsay's complete medical record, didn't know about two prior calls Lindsay made to a suicide hotline, and had become board-certified the same day Lindsay's intake paperwork was filled out. Faddis breaks down why the prosecution called her at all, and how that testimony was received once Reddington finished with her on the stand. Faddis unpacks what the prosecution needs from a witness like this — proof that Lindsay understood what she was doing — and how three hours of cross-examination complicated that. The state is also leaning on what Lindsay did the morning her children died: sending her husband out, timing the errand, and a phrase she typed into her phone that prosecutors consider central to their case. Meanwhile, the defense has spent weeks documenting thirteen psychiatric medications, near-daily messages begging providers for changes, and journal entries describing intrusive thoughts and brain fog. No provider diagnosed postpartum psychosis before that day — the diagnosis came afterward, from a forensic psychiatrist the defense brought in. Faddis lays out where each side stands and what Massachusetts prosecutors still have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. The providers who treated Lindsay before her children died are turning out to be as central to this trial as anything said in the courtroom since.

A psychiatrist signed off on Lindsay Clancy's release from McLean Hospital. On cross-examination, she was asked a simple question — how many cases like this had she actually seen. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to unpack what that answer means for a case built on whether Clancy's illness was real enough to excuse what happened. Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder after her children died at home in Duxbury in January 2023. Neither side disputes that she caused their deaths. Her defense argues postpartum psychosis and bipolar disorder left her not criminally responsible. Prosecutors argue she knew exactly what she was doing. Shavaun, a licensed psychotherapist with more than thirty years in trauma and the psychology of violence, walks through what postpartum psychosis looks like from the inside — the difference between an intrusive thought and a command voice, and why a person can seem composed while still being seriously ill. Research estimates the condition affects roughly one or two births per thousand, usually surfacing within weeks of delivery. Then the episode turns to Clancy's outpatient psychiatrist, who treated her by video through fourteen appointments in the months before the killings. Those sessions were scheduled for thirty minutes. What actually happened inside them is a separate question — one Clancy's own civil suit answers differently than her provider's records do. Shavaun also addresses something easy to miss: Clancy spent her career as a labor and delivery nurse, which may have shaped how seriously her own reports were taken by the people responsible for her care. Clancy attempted suicide the same day her children died and now appears at trial in a wheelchair. What her providers did — and didn't — do in the weeks before is now part of the record a jury has to weigh.

For about eighteen months, Alex Murdaugh told investigators he was never at the kennels the night Maggie and Paul were killed. He later admitted, under oath, that wasn't true. Prosecutors now want a brand new jury to hear that admission directly from his own 2023 testimony. Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke break down what the state's filing is actually asking for. Alongside the testimony, prosecutors are renewing two pretrial wins from the first trial: keeping third-party guilt evidence from the jury, and barring any mention of a polygraph, a rule that matters because Murdaugh's own attorneys once told a court Curtis Eddie Smith failed one when asked about the murders. Prosecutors are also seeking a fresh review of digital evidence and fighting the defense's request for independent DNA testing. The defense has its own move on the table. A supplemental Brady and Giglio motion demands prosecutors search again for favorable evidence and witness credibility material generated since the first trial, and certify in writing within thirty days that the search was thorough. Ten categories are listed, from plea deals to personnel files to testing methodology, and the motion names no specific witness or missing document. A sanctions motion from the first trial remains unresolved, and prosecutors haven't responded. Judge Debra McCaslin has tentatively set the retrial for April 5, 2027. Alex Murdaugh is presumed innocent, has denied the killings since 2021, and remains imprisoned on unrelated financial crimes.

Dr. Sejal Shah took the stand as a prosecution witness in the Lindsay Clancy trial, evaluated Clancy days after her children died, and then said something on cross-examination that cuts straight into the defense's argument. Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke break down what Shah conceded, and why it matters. Shah agreed that a person can communicate and make plans while in a state of psychosis, and described Clancy as an honest patient. That admission lands alongside testimony from two other doctors who treated Clancy directly. Dr. Jennifer Tufts and Dr. Alia Goodheart both testified they observed no signs of psychosis and both said they never knew Clancy had called a crisis line twice, calls documented in Clancy's own civil filings. Goodheart also acknowledged she doesn't believe she's ever treated a patient with postpartum psychosis and couldn't say how many postpartum depression patients she'd seen in twenty years of practice. The episode also covers Day 10 of the trial, when defense attorney Kevin Reddington cross-examined Tufts for hours. He established that all fourteen of her appointments with Clancy happened over video, that she never asked Clancy to sign a release for records from a separate clinic, and that she hadn't read a 2021 study linking thyroid function to postpartum psychosis. The prosecution's cross drew out that Clancy booked her own appointments and drove herself to an emergency room. Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder. Dreeke weighs what all of this adds up to. Support is available around the clock at 988.

Buried inside Patrick Clancy's wrongful death lawsuit is a detail that reframes the entire medical timeline: a routine lab test that would have shown whether Lindsay's body was actually processing the psychiatric medications she'd been prescribed was never ordered. Tony Brueski opens the filing and walks through what it alleges, and how it lines up against eight days of criminal trial testimony already on the record. The civil suit, filed in January 2026, claims providers misprescribed a stack of powerful medications and layered on new drugs without a coordinated plan. The filings count nine medications in Lindsay's final months, eight of them inside the last three weeks, while her criminal defense counts thirteen. Her final psychiatric appointment landed on January 23, 2023, the day before Cora, Dawson, and Callan died. The complaint states that with adequate care, it's more likely than not the children would still be alive, the direct opposite of what prosecutors are arguing across the county line in Plymouth Superior Court. Meanwhile in the criminal trial, prosecution witnesses, including friends, the nanny, and Patrick's own family, keep telling the jury what a devoted mother Lindsay was. Tony answers listener questions on the takeout order and errand splitting the audience, the pill bottles prosecutors emptied out to argue she skipped her medication, the psychiatric hospital that sent her home nineteen days before her children died, and the sobbing that stopped testimony during the medical examiner's account. Two courtrooms, two versions of the same family's catastrophe, and a lab test that was never run standing in the middle of both.

David Owen led the SLED investigation that put Alex Murdaugh behind bars. Years earlier he led another murder investigation that a judge later threw out entirely, and on the stand in that case, Owen denied something a grieving mother says she told him directly. Tony Brueski lays out what that denial was and why it's surfacing again now. In June 2025, a South Carolina judge quashed the indictment in State v. Colucci after ruling the state sat on favorable evidence for nearly a decade. The victim's mother testified she told Owen in 2015 that her daughter had spoken about ending her own life, testimony directly relevant to the case and something Owen said under oath never happened. That history now sits at the center of a Brady motion Murdaugh's defense filed on August 5, 2026, demanding prosecutors search every file, agency, and personnel record tied to the case and confirm in writing that nothing favorable to Murdaugh remains hidden. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer weighs whether the motion is a fishing expedition or something this investigation has genuinely earned. She also addresses agent Ryan Kelly, who told Murdaugh's jury nothing connected alternate suspect Eddie Smith to the murders and was fired from an unrelated Charleston County job in June 2026. The episode also covers the physical evidence fight over the shirt Murdaugh wore the night Maggie and Paul were killed, tested negative for blood and then rendered permanently untestable, and the recent dismissal of Murdaugh's lawsuit against Becky Hill, the clerk whose jury tampering overturned his original convictions. Judge Debra McCaslin hears arguments on the motion August 14, 2026. Murdaugh is presumed innocent ahead of his 2027 retrial.

Lindsay Clancy's own defense attorney stood up in Plymouth Superior Court and said something about Patrick Clancy's remarriage that cuts directly against the theory that he's secretly guilty. Tony Brueski breaks down what actually got said, and why it matters. The backdrop: online accounts pulling hundreds of thousands of views are working through a full list of claims against Patrick — that he drugged his wife for months, that he held the restraints, that he staged the bedroom window, that the locked door was his doing, and that the remarriage itself is proof of motive. Tony takes the list item by item against courtroom testimony, including NMS Laboratories toxicologist Justin Brower's account of four medications found in Lindsay's blood and the direction an interior bedroom lock actually operates. Retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke joins to unpack why an internet crowd defaults to suspecting the husband almost on instinct, regardless of what the paper trail shows, and what would genuinely change their minds. His answer is more interesting than a simple 'nothing ever will.' Patrick's timeline is backed by CVS surveillance footage and phone records. The Plymouth County District Attorney has charged one person. State Police investigated and arrived at the same name. Nobody with subpoena power has pointed at Patrick. Three of the providers who treated Lindsay have now testified, and civil filings name all three as defendants — the same lawsuit some corners of the internet are calling a cover story. This episode pulls both threads together: the behavioral science of why the theory took hold, and the specific claims driving it, checked line by line against what witnesses actually said under oath.

Search teams have gone back into the brush behind Nancy Guthrie's own home since the monsoons passed through Tucson, and Tony Brueski and retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke dig into what that choice might actually mean six months into this investigation. It comes alongside a financial trail that doesn't line up with what the public has been told. The ransom demand was four million dollars in Bitcoin. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer's trace shows the only funds that ever reached the alleged kidnapper's wallet were roughly three hundred dollars, sent by the FBI itself on February 10, and never touched since. No ransom was ever paid, which sits directly against Savannah Guthrie's own statement that the family did their part. Messages written straight to that wallet include the exact words Savannah said on camera, meaning a direct line to whoever holds it has existed the whole time and gone unanswered. Then there are the two ransom notes, released by Pima County on July 31. One opens with 'Hello Savannah,' demands four million, and knows details only someone inside the house would know, including a white smart watch on the floor and a destroyed flood light. The other asks for nothing, claims Nancy died shortly after she was taken, and says she's buried in nature. Dreeke and Coffindaffer both question whether one writer produced both. Sheriff Nanos calls his relationship with the FBI great while thousands of hours of video remain unreviewed. This episode traces the money, the messages, and now the renewed search, all at once.

Mario Fernandez's defense team in the Jared Bridegan murder case has been winning before the trial started — charges dropped, death penalty gone, a key witness blocked from the stand, and the state's cooperating gunman withdrawing his plea deal entirely. Then prosecutors pulled the financial records. Three handwritten checks from Fernandez's company to the alleged triggerman Henry Tenon total $10,000 and arrived after the murder. Two were issued on the same day in March 2022. The third, dated April 4, allegedly carried the memo "Kickstarter" and "Good luck!" on a $5,000 payment written seven weeks after Bridegan was ambushed on Sanctuary Boulevard. Fernandez's attorneys say those checks paid for landscaping and roof repairs on a rental property and that no money changed hands before the crime. Phone records showing 35 calls between Fernandez and Tenon in February 2022, 30 in March, and continued contact into June form another pillar of the state's case. At a late-July hearing, prosecutor Alan Mizrahi disclosed that two people left the crime scene the night Bridegan was killed. One fled on foot, one drove a pickup truck. Tenon's DNA was on the tire. He was not driving. A fellow inmate also alleges Fernandez described the conspiracy from inside the Duval County jail, identified his own role, named Gardner as the planner, and asked for help framing Kirsten Bridegan through letters mailed to reporters and law enforcement after release. Fernandez has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and solicitation. Jury selection began August 10 and trial is set to begin August 17. Gardner's trial follows at month's end. Tenon faces his own trial in March 2027. END_LINKSListen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The prosecution in the Lindsay Clancy trial set out to prove she was sane and acted deliberately. Three weeks in, its own witnesses have told the jury she was a wonderful mother who was deteriorating while the medical system watched. Patrick Clancy described a Seroquel spiral. The nanny saw a devoted parent. The psychiatrist admitted she never met Lindsay in person. The defense conceded Lindsay killed her children and is arguing she was consumed by postpartum psychosis. Kevin Reddington has used the prosecution's witnesses to build his own case — exposing telehealth-only treatment, incomplete records, and a prescribing pattern he's called horrific. He told the jury Lindsay heard voices. The psychosis diagnosis didn't come until after the crime. And on TikTok, creators are accusing Patrick Clancy of being the real killer. They're comparing him to Chris Watts and scrutinizing his remarriage while both sides in the courtroom agree Lindsay did it. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis covers all three angles — the prosecution's problems, the defense's strategy and risks, and the legal question of what Patrick can do about conspiracy theories targeting him during the trial.

Rob and Michele Reiner spent years trying to help the son who prosecutors now allege planned their murders. Nick Reiner co-wrote a film with his father about his own addiction struggles. His parents paid for treatment at a seventy-thousand-dollar-a-month facility. They kept him on their property in a guest house in Brentwood. A grand jury indictment unsealed on August 12 alleges he repaid all of it by concealing his purpose, waiting for his opportunity, and attacking them inside their bedroom. The lying-in-wait allegation is new — it was not part of the original charges filed in December 2025. It's a second special circumstance under California law, and it carries a specific legal standard: prosecutors must prove concealment, surveillance, surprise, and intent to kill. Nick had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder years before the killings. In 2020, a court placed him under a conservatorship for grave disability. His medication was reportedly changed in the weeks before December 14, and sources said the switch made him more erratic. The grand jury returned the indictment on July 20, and it sat sealed for over three weeks. It replaces the original case and sends the prosecution straight to pretrial, which is scheduled for September 15. The preliminary hearing Nick's defense had been expecting is now off the table. Tony walks through the full indictment, what it alleges about the night of December 13 and the early hours of December 14, and what prosecutors just committed to proving against a defendant whose own medical record may be his strongest defense. Nick Reiner denied the charges and remains in custody on no bail. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Patrick Clancy lost three children on January 24, 2023. Now TikTok creators are accusing him of killing them. They're comparing him to Chris Watts. They're posting theories that Lindsay didn't jump from the window — he pushed her. They're dissecting his remarriage and his testimony for signs of guilt. Lindsay Clancy's own defense team has told the jury she killed the children. The defense isn't arguing innocence — it's arguing she was not criminally responsible due to postpartum psychosis. The conspiracy theories on social media contradict the position of both the prosecution and the defense. The scrutiny has intensified during the trial. Newsweek published an analysis of the "TikTok jury" phenomenon forming around this case. The Boston Globe ran an opinion piece calling the social media coverage an indictment of public discourse. Creators are examining Patrick's remarriage to Dr. Rachel Danis, comparing his new wife to Lindsay, and framing the speed of his remarriage as suspicious. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down whether Patrick Clancy has legal options against creators who are accusing him of murder online. The difference between a protected opinion and an actionable defamation claim. Whether Patrick qualifies as a public or private figure. What the Alex Jones and Sandy Hook precedent established. And the practical reality of pursuing lawsuits against creators who are anonymous, scattered across multiple states, and unlikely to have assets worth collecting.

The prosecution had 180,000 pages of data extracted from Lindsay Clancy's iPhone. On Day 13 at Plymouth Superior Court, they chose to present one Google search to the jury: "Can you treat a sociopath?" from January 20, 2023. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington's cross-examination revealed what else the phone's browser history contained. Four weeks of searches, date by date: bipolar disorder, McLean Hospital, Trazodone, Zoloft, insomnia, schizophrenia, Wellbutrin, Lamictal, benzodiazepine withdrawal, Ativan, psychosis. On January 23, the day before the killings — intrusive thoughts and hallucinations. Every medication Lindsay had been prescribed appeared in her search history. The prosecution also flagged photos of the Clancy children as "modified" on the evening of January 23. Reddington established on cross that the modification was a standard iPhone function — converting a live burst photo to a single image. The forensic analyst confirmed he didn't know there were framed photos of the children throughout the Clancy home. Prosecutors presented a Surface Pro laptop visit to a website about methods of ending one's life from August 2022. Reddington traced the browsing chain to a Spotify music search and a Wikipedia hyperlink. The examiner couldn't confirm who was using the computer. A cellphone note modified the night before the killings described a woman who wanted a fourth child and was terrified of messing up her kids. Lindsay Clancy has pleaded not guilty and contends she was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time. Prosecutors allege she planned the killings deliberately.

"This is your last chance." That's what the defense says Lindsay Clancy heard on January 24, 2023 — voices telling her to act. She had been on thirteen psychiatric medications. She had been messaging her providers almost daily begging to change them. Her journal described intrusive thoughts, insomnia, and a desperation that built for months. No clinician diagnosed postpartum psychosis before that night. Every provider documented anxiety and depression. The psychosis diagnosis came after, from a forensic psychiatrist retained by the defense. Kevin Reddington's case doesn't dispute that Lindsay killed her children. It argues she was incapable of understanding what she was doing. He's spent three weeks dismantling the providers who treated her — exposing telehealth-only sessions, incomplete records, missed warning signs, and a prescribing pattern he's called "horrific." The judge barred him from calling other mothers who've experienced postpartum psychosis. He's now fighting to add a former McLean Hospital employee to the witness list through a TikTok video. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down whether the defense's strategy is working, where its risks are, and what happens when a case built on a diagnosis that didn't exist until after the crime reaches a jury that has to look at three dead children and decide whether their mother was too sick to be punished.

Fourteen appointments. Every one by telehealth. Lindsay Clancy's psychiatrist, Dr. Jennifer Tufts, told the jury she never saw signs of psychosis and that Lindsay denied wanting to hurt herself or anyone else. Then the defense got three hours to cross-examine her. Tufts admitted she didn't have Lindsay's complete medical record. She never requested hospital records. She didn't use the Edinburgh scale. She had no idea Lindsay had called a suicide hotline twice. She got her board certification the same day Lindsay filled out intake forms. The prosecution put Tufts on the stand to prove Lindsay was mentally sound. The cross-examination turned that testimony into an argument about a system that treated a deteriorating mother through a screen. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down where the prosecution's case stands three weeks into the Lindsay Clancy trial. The state argues Lindsay sent Patrick out for takeout, timed the errand, and searched "ways to kill" before her children died. But the prosecution's own witnesses — the nanny, the pediatrician, the ex-husband — have told the jury she was a wonderful mother who couldn't get help. In Massachusetts, the state carries the burden of proving she was criminally responsible. The question is whether the prosecution's witnesses have been proving the opposite.

Henry Tenon had a deal. Plead guilty to second-degree murder, testify truthfully against Shanna Gardner and Mario Fernandez Saldana, and face a sentencing range that started at 15 years. He signed it in March 2023. He walked away from it in February 2026 and is now charged with first-degree murder. Four years on, Tenon has never been sentenced for anything. Jared Bridegan was a 33-year-old Microsoft employee and a father of four. He was killed on a Jacksonville Beach street on February 16, 2022, minutes after dropping his twins at his ex-wife's house. A tire had been placed in the road to make him stop. His 2-year-old was behind him in a car seat. We walk the bank records: 52 cents in Tenon's account in January 2022, three checks totaling $10,000 from a company owned by Fernandez and Gardner in the weeks after, and a detective's testimony that the promised figure was $150,000, structured as an investment in a pallet business. Defense attorneys say the checks paid for landscaping and roof work. Mario Fernandez Saldana's jury was picked in August. Shanna Gardner's follows days after his verdict is read aloud. Each of the three defendants has pleaded not guilty, and each is presumed innocent.

In November 2022, a psychiatric nurse practitioner screened Lindsay Clancy with a ten-question tool built to detect postpartum mood disorders. Twenty-three out of thirty was the number. Extreme anxiety showed up on the same screen. Weeks later she was admitted to McLean Hospital, where that screening was never administered. Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three first-degree murder counts arising from the deaths of her children at their Duxbury home. Her defense does not dispute the killings themselves. The defense argues her illness put her beyond criminal responsibility. The state's case is that she acted knowingly and swiftly. This is the complete conversation with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, all three parts in one. The first covers the condition. A 2017 review in BMC Psychiatry puts postpartum psychosis at roughly one or two births in a thousand, and it typically arrives within days or weeks of delivery. Eight months was Callan's age. The second covers the clinicians. Dr. Jennifer Tufts saw Clancy across fourteen video sessions and never in person, and testified she never obtained records from other providers or had Clancy sign the releases. Dr. Alia Goodheart testified no patient with that condition had ever come to her, and that McLean obtained none of Clancy's prior records. The third covers bipolar disorder. A nurse practitioner told Clancy and her husband about it in 2022. A psychiatrist dismissed it on the absence of mania. McLean discharged her with major depressive disorder, severe, without psychotic features. She authored the memoir Nightbird. Both named doctors deny the allegations against them. Clancy's five-day stay at McLean ran from January 1 to January 5, 2023. Her lawsuit says a Columbia psychiatrist evaluated her for eight hours after the deaths and diagnosed bipolar disorder with psychosis and anxious distress with postpartum onset.

A former Stillwater High School student walked out of a Payne County courtroom on August 3, 2026 with no record he has to explain to anyone. Jesse Mack Butler turned nineteen the following day. The math is the story. Prosecutors charged him as an adult in March 2025 with eleven felony counts and exposure to 78 years. He finished the case with 150 hours of community service, about $3,300, and not one night behind a locked door. Oklahoma's Youthful Offender Act put him in a supervised program instead of a cell and gave the court authority that expired on his nineteenth birthday. Everyone who signed the July 2025 agreement knew that date. Special Judge Susan Worthington granted the youthful offender status. District Attorney Laura Austin Thomas, who has since left office, said filing in adult court was deliberate because juvenile cases in Oklahoma stay confidential. That public record is the one Butler's attorney now wants sealed. Two girls came forward. Both were sixteen. Neither ever took a witness stand, because the plea was reached before the preliminary hearing where they would have testified. At the final hearing, defense attorney Derek Chance told the court his client was innocent and that one girl's account was false. The convictions were minutes from erasure. The new district attorney stood up from the gallery and said afterward that nothing had ever made his blood boil more. What remains is a federal referral nobody has attached a charge to, a civil suit naming Butler, his parents, and the school district, and an insurance company asking a federal judge to let it walk away. One mother predicted all of it in open court in December 2025.

Massachusetts State Police case officer Joshua McKelligan took the stand today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication at the time of the killings. McKelligan testified that he entered the Clancy home in the early morning hours of January 25 to record video of the master bedroom, footage that was shown to jurors today. The video focused on blood spatters and smears, a knife, and the second-story window Clancy allegedly jumped from after the killings. McKelligan noted a detail that's going to sit with jurors: the blood was on the floors, not the walls. He also testified to a bloody handprint found outside that window — and to being handed pill bottles directly by Patrick Clancy. Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from that second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out of the home running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial, underway in Plymouth Superior Court, is expected to last several weeks.Links Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A psychiatric nurse practitioner named the condition out loud in 2022. Rebecca Jollotta testified she told Lindsay Clancy and her husband that Clancy might have an underlying bipolar disorder, and she prescribed an antipsychotic used to treat it. The antidepressants were not stopped. Three first-degree murder counts, three not guilty pleas. All three died at the family home on January 24, 2023. Reddington has argued postpartum psychosis and bipolar disorder leave her not criminally responsible. Prosecutors say she moved deliberately and understood the consequences. Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott close the three-part series on the diagnosis itself. What pushed Jollotta toward bipolar disorder was partly Clancy's report of going forty-eight hours without sleep after starting an antidepressant. Dr. Jennifer Tufts testified she considered the same diagnosis in December 2022 and dismissed it on the absence of mania, describing the criteria as euphoria, very high energy, and grandiosity. At McLean, staff testified they observed symptoms that could indicate bipolar disorder and discussed sleep deprivation leading to a hypomanic episode. She rejected that conclusion. She left with paperwork reading major depressive disorder, severe, without psychotic features. On antidepressants and bipolar patients, the research does not agree with itself, and Shavaun says so. Jurors heard a toxicology witness describe low drug levels. Nightbird is among her published work. At McLean, Goodheart testified sleep deprivation can contribute to a manic episode and that she wanted to keep observing Clancy's sleep after discharge. Jollotta also testified Clancy's thinking stayed linear and goal-directed at every appointment, and that Clancy never indicated a plan to harm anyone. Shavaun explains why linear thinking and serious illness are not opposites.

A Massachusetts State Police detective specializing in cell phone forensics spent today's session in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial reconstructing exactly what was on her phone in the days and hours before her three children died. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, is charged with murdering 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan by strangling them with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She's pleaded not guilty and is pursuing an insanity defense — attorney Kevin Reddington arguing severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication left her not criminally responsible. Detective Timothy Chiappini read a journal entry pulled from the phone in which Clancy described resentment toward her older kids, saying they were getting in the way of her bonding with Callan. He testified about her struggles with sleep training Callan and stopping breastfeeding, and her stated desire to parent each child like a first child. Chiappini also flagged photos edited on the phone on January 23 — one day before the killings — and mapped out the calls, texts, and location data from that final night. Reddington used cross-examination to redirect attention to a different category of searches on the same device, and to a series of texts between Clancy and her mother, laying groundwork for the defense's psychosis argument. Prosecutors maintain Clancy knew exactly what she was doing. After the killings, she allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Husband Patrick Clancy was running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to run several weeks.Links Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Sgt. Daniel Lawlor sat in the hallway outside Lindsay Clancy's hospital room while a psychologist spoke with her behind a closed door. He did not hear what was said. He later learned Clancy called her husband from the psychologist's phone and told him she had experienced voices the night her children died.The Commonwealth alleges Clancy murdered Cora, Dawson, and Callan at the family's Duxbury home on January 24, 2023. She has acknowledged killing them. Her defense asserts she was in a psychotic state driven by postpartum illness. The prosecution argues she acted with rational intent.On Day 12 of the trial, Reddington asked Lawlor whether investigators theorized the psychologist encouraged the call. The judge cleared the courtroom and questioned Lawlor without jurors present. Lawlor confirmed the speculation originated with lead detective McKelligan, not with the DA's office.Once jurors returned, Lawlor confirmed the theory had no evidence behind it. Buckingham established that Lawlor never discussed the matter with prosecutors and that investigative theories evolve.That afternoon, two medical examiners presented findings on the children's injuries. Clancy sobbed and told the court she could not continue. Judge Sullivan halted proceedings repeatedly. Reddington let both doctors leave the stand without a single question. Counselor Latiesha Dukes had testified earlier that she treated Clancy four times and never observed psychosis or mania.

Detective Timothy Chiappini of the Massachusetts State Police, a specialist in cell phone forensics, took the stand today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication at the time of the killings. Chiappini walked jurors through the digital trail pulled straight from Clancy's phone — starting with a journal entry in which she wrote about resenting her older children, feeling they were standing between her and bonding with Callan, and struggling with sleep training and weaning him off breastfeeding. He testified she wanted to parent each child "as her first." He also detailed photos on the phone that were edited on January 23, 2023 — the day before the killings — and laid out the calls, texts, and map searches from that night. On cross, Reddington steered jurors toward a different set of searches on that same phone, and toward messages between Clancy and her mother — material the defense will lean on to argue psychosis, not clarity. Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out of the home running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan.

Kyle Pavao took the stand today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication at the time of the killings. Pavao, a digital forensics examiner with the Massachusetts State Police cyber crime unit, walked the jury through what he found on the family's Surface Pro. He testified to a search history that included the phrase "how to commit suicide," along with searches referencing country singer Tom T. Hall's suicide and Wikipedia's page on suicide methods. It's the kind of search history that sounds damning right up until cross-examination changes the picture. And it did. Under questioning from Reddington, Pavao acknowledged the "suicide" search was logged on Patrick Clancy's computer back in August 2022 — five months before the killings — and admitted he has no way of determining who was actually behind the keyboard. He also confirmed the device carried a long list of other searches: medications, side effects, bipolar disorder. A digital trail with more than one possible story to tell. Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out of the home running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan.

Lindsay Clancy walked out of McLean Hospital in January 2023. The psychiatrist who oversaw that discharge, Dr. Alia Goodheart, later testified no patient with that condition had ever come to her, and that she could not say how many postpartum depression patients she had seen in twenty years. Her three children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan, died on January 24, 2023 in Duxbury. Her plea on all three counts is not guilty. Her attorney's position is that she was psychotic and not criminally responsible. The Commonwealth argues she understood what she was doing. Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott spend part two on the clinicians and the record they left behind. Goodheart testified she had no concerns about Clancy's safety or anyone else's, and that she had no reason to believe Clancy was not a reliable reporter. McLean obtained none of Clancy's prior psychiatric records. Her outpatient psychiatrist, Dr. Jennifer Tufts, testified to the same gap from the other direction. She did not request records from Clancy's other providers and did not have her sign the releases that would have opened them. She testified she relied on Clancy to disclose what mattered. Fourteen appointments, all by video, none in person. Shavaun addresses the detail that changes how all of this reads. Her career was spent in labor and delivery. She spoke the language, and it made her easier to believe. The conversation also credits the care that worked. One psychiatric nurse practitioner gave Clancy her personal cell number and called her on a day off, and Clancy's own defense lawyer said she had done a good job. Both named physicians deny liability. Tufts completed her psychiatric residency in July 2022 and joined the practice the month before Clancy became her patient. Clancy located her online. Goodheart testified McLean staff contacted Patrick Clancy to corroborate his wife's reports, and that she knows patients sometimes minimize symptoms.

Everything Kevin Reddington is arguing in Plymouth Superior Court comes back to a single claim: that by January 2023, Lindsay Clancy was hearing a voice instructing her to kill her three children and then herself. Three counts of first-degree murder are on the indictment, and Clancy has pleaded not guilty. The Duxbury deaths occurred on January 24, 2023. That she killed them is not contested. Prosecutors say she acted with intent and full awareness. Tony Brueski sits down with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott for part one of three, and this conversation is about the condition rather than the courtroom. Shavaun has been in practice more than thirty years, treating anxiety, depression, and the psychology of violence. Published prevalence figures sit near one or two births in every thousand. Researchers describe it as a condition that shifts — a woman can be disoriented in one hour and entirely clear in the next. Understanding that pattern is the difference between following this trial and misreading it. The conversation handles the hardest fact for the defense. This illness usually arrives within days or weeks of delivery. The baby, Callan, was eight months. Shavaun separates psychosis from psychopathy for an audience that hears the two words as one thing. She explains where an intrusive thought ends and a command voice begins. She takes on why Clancy told her providers she had no thoughts of harming her children while her husband testified she told him otherwise. And she answers whether this illness reaches the part of a person that knows right from wrong. Shavaun Scott's book is Nightbird. Parts two and three follow. Judge William Sullivan is presiding in Plymouth Superior Court. Shavaun also addresses what the jury has already heard from four clinicians who described clear, linear thinking and no psychosis, and why that testimony does not settle the question the way it appears to.

Anyone following the Lindsay Clancy murder trial has watched a second case get built in public against her husband. Patrick Clancy has never been charged, never been named by a detective, and never been accused by her own defense team. He is being convicted anyway, daily, by strangers. The loudest item on the list is the lawsuit. He sued four of her providers on behalf of his three children's estates, and a great many people read that as a man constructing himself a story. Lindsay sued eleven, seven of them individual providers, plus McLean Hospital and Women & Infants Hospital of Rhode Island. Both filings argue the same thing about the care she got. Tony Brueski works through what the accusation needs to be true and what the record actually holds. Where the errand originates. What the toxicology came back as. What two strangers on a phone line heard from her minutes before. Dr. Jennifer Tufts, a defendant in those suits, has been on the stand defending the care she gave, with Julie Paul called after her. And there is one thing he did a year after losing them that the people prosecuting him online have never had to account for. He made that same argument first, days after the funerals, when he asked strangers on a fundraising page to forgive her the way he had. He told police the medications had given her the worst side effects possible. He said he was not married to a monster. Eighteen jurors have now heard every fact this accusation rests on, under oath, and not one of them has been asked to consider him. Come for the list. Stay for the item nobody on either side argues with him about.

Set the Lindsay Clancy trial beside the Alex Murdaugh retrial and the witness lists start to rhyme. Tony Brueski takes the mail across all three segments with Robin Dreeke, a retired FBI Special Agent who spent his career in behavioral analysis. Clancy's psychiatrists testified for the prosecution that they saw no signs of psychosis. One of them, Dr. Jennifer Tufts, told jurors she did not have or seek Clancy's records from other providers and relied on her patient to disclose what mattered. The other, Dr. Alia Goodheart of McLean Hospital, testified the hospital did not obtain those records either. Neither knew about the two crisis line calls Clancy's civil suit describes. In South Carolina, Murdaugh's defense is demanding updated personnel files, disciplinary records and internal affairs materials on the investigators and forensic analysts who built the case. The state is moving the other way, seeking to admit Murdaugh's 2023 testimony and to keep third-party guilt away from the jury. One structure, two jurisdictions. A record assembled by people who were not looking for the thing the defense now says was sitting there. Prosecutors in Massachusetts argue Clancy's providers are not to blame and that she acted intentionally. Prosecutors in South Carolina argue the evidence against Murdaugh is overwhelming and that speculation about other suspects is not evidence. Clancy's trial is expected to run six to eight weeks with more than a hundred and eighty witnesses. Murdaugh's retrial is tentatively set for April 5, 2027. Lindsay Clancy has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent. Alex Murdaugh awaits retrial after his convictions were overturned and is presumed innocent. Robin Dreeke handles all of it, including what a witness leaves out and how you hear it. 988 is answered around the clock.

Christian Obumseli recorded what was happening to him. On this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski tells the story of the Courtney Clenney case through the evidence Christian left behind, and the six-year sentence a Miami judge accepted on August 10, 2026. The clips came off his phone after his death, recovered by homicide investigators. In them, Clenney screams at him, calls him a racial slur, demands he let her slap him. In one exchange he tells her plainly that what she said was a threat, that he apologized, and that she hit him anyway. Her attorneys argue those moments lack context and insist she was the one being abused. His family's attorney says the recordings show exactly who the aggressor was. Four years after his death, none of it went before a jury. Clenney pleaded guilty to manslaughter with a deadly weapon and received six years, most of it already behind her through time served. Five years of probation, evaluations, and a batterers' intervention program follow. The life sentence she once faced disappeared with the amended charge. Tony traces how a prosecution that publicly branded her the aggressor arrived at this outcome, what role her battered-partner claim played, and why the family signed off despite rejecting her self-defense account from the start. He also gets into the remarkable thing her lawyers preserved at the sentencing hearing itself, a move involving her ability to earn from this case, and the pledge prosecutors made in response. Toby was twenty-seven, a son and a brother his family refuses to let be reduced to a court file. His voice is still in the record. This episode makes sure it gets heard.

Lindsay Clancy, the 34-year-old Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, sat in court today for some of the most difficult testimony of the trial so far. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is mounting an insanity defense built on claims of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Today the courtroom heard from three witnesses. Nichole Bradley, Assistant Deputy Superintendent with the Plymouth County Sheriff's Department, testified about providing security watch at Clancy's hospital room following her alleged suicide attempt. Then came the harder part. Renee Stonebridge, neuropathology-trained and with the Chief Medical Examiner's Office, testified that all three children died of asphyxia, with significant brain swelling caused by lack of oxygen and blood flow. Dr. Barbara Olson, who performed the autopsies on Cora and Dawson, testified that bruising on Cora was recent — though she couldn't pin down exactly when it occurred — and that both children would have felt pain as they lost consciousness during strangulation. Mechanical asphyxiation, she confirmed, killed them both. Court had to recess more than once as Clancy reacted emotionally to the testimony. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to jump from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to run several more weeks.

The part of Alex Murdaugh's new defense filing that matters most is the part about personnel files. Tony Brueski works the listener mail with Robin Dreeke, a retired FBI Special Agent who spent his career in behavioral analysis. The motion asks the court to order prosecutors to produce updated disciplinary records and internal affairs materials. It covers misconduct findings on any officer or forensic analyst tied to the investigation, arrest or prosecution. It names no one. The language is broad enough to reach several people. One of them is former SLED senior special agent Ryan Kelly. He led the investigation into the September 2021 roadside shooting involving Murdaugh and Curtis Eddie Smith. Kelly testified at the 2023 murder trial. He told jurors investigators had found nothing whatsoever connecting Smith to the killings of Maggie and Paul. Kelly left SLED in 2025 and joined the Charleston County Sheriff's Office as chief inspector of internal affairs. He was fired from that job in June 2026 after an administrative investigation into allegations of harassment, conduct unbecoming, improper procedures and unsatisfactory performance. That termination has not been linked to anything Kelly did while at SLED, and there is no indication the allegations involved any Murdaugh-related investigation. Whether any of it would be admissible is a question for the court. Publicly available records do not describe the underlying conduct. That is exactly the kind of post-trial development the motion appears built to capture, and it is why listeners keep asking how exposed the state's witness list actually is. His convictions no longer stand, and Murdaugh is presumed innocent heading into April. Robin Dreeke handles the mailbag on credibility files, impeachment, and what a jury never sees.

One program in the treatment timeline was designed specifically for postpartum patients. Women & Infants Hospital in Providence ran a partial hospitalization track for mothers dealing with mood disorders after childbirth. Lindsay Clancy's nurse practitioner sent her there in mid-December 2022 on an urgent basis.The Commonwealth alleges Clancy murdered her three children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan, at the family's Duxbury home on January 24, 2023. She has acknowledged killing them. Her defense asserts she was in a psychotic state driven by postpartum illness. The prosecution argues she acted rationally and with planning.Jollotta anticipated Clancy would remain in the program for two weeks. According to testimony at Plymouth Superior Court, she stayed for a single day. Reddington pressed Jollotta on whether staff declined to admit Clancy over concerns about overmedication.Jollotta testified she was troubled by the early departure and told Clancy in a message that group therapy and additional support could help. She was reluctant to taper Seroquel because it had been easing Clancy's depression and sleep. Before leaving for vacation, Jollotta left a written taper plan on December 21.Reddington produced hospital records suggesting Women & Infants attempted to reach Jollotta and received no answer. She denied receiving any call. Jollotta acknowledged she never communicated with Dr. Jennifer Tufts, the psychiatrist managing Clancy's medications at the same time. The prosecution closed by asking whether Jollotta ever suspected postpartum psychosis. She testified she had not.

Lindsay Clancy, the 34-year-old Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, was back in Plymouth Superior Court today for testimony that cut right into how her mental health care was actually handled before the killings. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is running an insanity defense built around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Today it was Latisha Dukes, a counselor and psychologist at South Shore Hospital, under cross-examination — and the admission was a big one. Dukes said she never read the notes or records from Paul or Jollotta before working with Clancy. She testified Clancy was afraid of becoming addicted to Ativan just to sleep, and that she genuinely had "unmanageable anxiety," depression, and both passive and active suicidal ideation. On redirect, Dukes defended the gap, saying she skipped the prior records deliberately to approach the case with "fresh eyes." She also said she had no input into medication management. Separately, Duxbury Police Officer Cameron Dailey testified about being assigned to provide security and watch Clancy at the hospital. Prosecutors are still expected to argue Clancy understood what she was doing despite the mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial is expected to run several weeks.Links Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two very different witnesses gave the jury a fuller picture today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Trooper Dan Lawlor, who provided security at the hospital, testified on cross-examination that he saw a doctor step in to consult with Clancy and later learned that doctor let her use his own phone to call her husband, Patrick. Lawlor also said he and the lead investigator discussed a theory worth noting: that a psychiatrist may have told Clancy to say she was hearing voices. On re-direct, he confirmed a conversation with another trooper didn't affect his testimony. Then came Latisha Dukes, a counselor and psychologist at South Shore Hospital, who testified her sessions with Clancy began in late November 2022 for depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and thoughts of not wanting to be there. Dukes said Clancy had tried to get help at Women's and Infants Hospital before the killings and was turned away — because she didn't have a "plan." Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's claims. Clancy allegedly attempted suicide after the killings and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Patrick Clancy has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.Links: Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

State Police Trooper Dan Lawlor took the stand today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication at the time of the killings. Lawlor testified he responded to South Shore Hospital, where he served an evidence preservation order and collected Clancy's clothing and jewelry, along with other physical evidence. Under cross-examination, he confirmed she wasn't wearing shoes. But the detail that actually matters: Lawlor said his job at the hospital was to "maintain custody" of Clancy — meaning nobody, not a lawyer, not anyone, got near her until a court order let a psychiatrist in. That's not standard hospital protocol. That's a state trooper posted at the door. Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out of the home running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial, underway in Plymouth Superior Court, is expected to last several weeks.
