  Is TikTok Putting Patrick Clancy On Trial? 19.08.2026 19min

  The Lindsay Clancy murder trial is being livestreamed. By the time each witness finishes testifying at Plymouth Superior Court, TikTok has clipped the footage and built a conspiracy theory from it. Tony Brueski and retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke examine the obsession with Patrick Clancy.Creators are comparing photos of Patrick's new wife, Rachel Danis, to Lindsay. They took a blood stain expert's testimony and constructed a scene where Patrick pushed Lindsay from the window. They reinterpreted the command hallucination Lindsay described — a man's voice — as Patrick on the phone.The prosecution argues Lindsay planned the killings and sent Patrick to the store. The defense argues she was psychotic. Both legal teams agree on one thing: Patrick wasn't involved. The theory has no support from any professional who has examined the evidence firsthand.Dreeke reads the claims, breaks down how a theory grows when the evidence contradicts it, and examines what happens to a man who lost three children and became one of the most accused people on the internet.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

  Why a Defense Witness Visited Lindsay Clancy Forty-Five Times 19.08.2026 21min

  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/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

  Lindsay Clancy Trial: Prosecutors Rip Into Defense Expert Over $300K Paycheck and Missing Details 19.08.2026 34min

  Lindsay Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation in the January 24, 2023, deaths 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. She's pleaded not guilty, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is arguing insanity, pointing to postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.If Wednesday morning belonged to the defense, the afternoon belonged to the prosecution — and they came in swinging at the credibility of Dr. Paul Zeizel, the defense's clinical psychologist. The cross started with his resume, with prosecutors pressing on whether his past evaluations were done for the Commonwealth or for defense teams, then landing on a number designed to stick: roughly $300,000 a year in fees for his consulting work. From there it got more specific. Zeizel testified that when he first met with Clancy, he let her use his phone to call her husband — and that when she made that call, she didn't ask about her children. The prosecution also zeroed in on the voices Clancy reportedly heard, which she allegedly described to family, to Patrick, and to a hospital chaplain, but apparently never mentioned to any of her actual treating psychological professionals. And then came the hospital records — notes from Tewksbury pulled from the anniversaries that would gut anyone: her kids' birthdays, the date of the killings. Pleasant. Participating in activities. Taking her medication. No self-injurious behavior. Make of that what you will. The prosecution closed by accusing Zeizel of bias, pointedly referring to Clancy as "his patient."Patrick Clancy was out running errands when it happened and now lives in Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

  Lindsay Clancy Case: Expert Witness Details the Voices and Thoughts Prosecutors Can't Explain Away 19.08.2026 1h 9min

  The murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, 34, continued this week in Plymouth Superior Court, where the Duxbury mother faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation in the January 24, 2023, deaths of her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months — inside the family's Summer Street home. Prosecutors allege she used exercise resistance bands. Clancy has pleaded not guilty, and defense attorney Kevin Reddington is arguing insanity, pointing to severe postpartum psychosis compounded by psychiatric overmedication.Wednesday belonged to the defense's clinical psychologist, Dr. Paul Zeizel, continuing testimony he began earlier in the week. His account painted a picture of a woman drowning in intrusive thoughts — thoughts she believed others could somehow hear, thoughts that convinced her she'd lose her children if anyone found out. She reached out for help twice in December, calling a suicide hotline, and was told she didn't meet the standard for intervention because she didn't have a specific plan. Zeizel's testimony framed intrusive thoughts as relentless — not something that fades with a good night's sleep — and said that by January, Clancy's had turned toward telling her to end her own life. He also addressed something juries often get wrong about mental illness: that functioning normally on the outside doesn't rule out psychosis on the inside. His testing, he said, ruled out psychopathy entirely, but turned up bipolar disorder with postpartum psychosis, and in his opinion, no awareness at the time that what she was doing was wrong.Patrick Clancy, her husband, was running errands when it happened and now lives in Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to stretch several weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

  Can Three Witnesses Save Lindsay Clancy? 19.08.2026 17min

  The prosecution called more than seventy witnesses in the Lindsay Clancy trial at Plymouth Superior Court. The defense called three the same afternoon. Tony Brueski and retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke break down whether those numbers mean what they seem to.Paula Musgrove, Lindsay's mother, told the jury about a daughter who texted her saying something was wrong and kept reaching out for months. Musgrove said Lindsay believed the medications were destroying her mind. Lindsay's sister described a decompensation. A former coworker at Massachusetts General called her a dedicated nurse.The prosecution's psychiatrists testified they never saw psychosis. None had treated postpartum psychosis before. The defense experts coming next will likely tell the jury those providers missed what they weren't trained to find. And the jury has to decide which set of doctors to believe about the same woman's mental state.Dreeke examines what jurors are likely carrying after fourteen days of prosecution evidence, whether emotional testimony can be separated from fact, and whether the verdict hinges on evidence or on fear of what acquittal means.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

  Did Lindsay Clancy's Prosecutors Help Her Defense? 19.08.2026 22min

  The prosecution called more than seventy witnesses over fourteen days in the Lindsay Clancy trial at Plymouth Superior Court and then rested. Tony Brueski and retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke break down whether the prosecution built what it intended.Patrick Clancy was the first witness. He described Lindsay's best day and the months of intrusive thoughts, thirteen medications, and a wife whose condition he called confusing. The 911 call shattered the courtroom. The defense stipulated to the act and forced the entire trial onto Lindsay's mental state.Then the prosecution called the doctors. Under cross-examination, each one admitted a version of the same failure. They didn't coordinate. They didn't access each other's records. A psychiatrist who wrote twelve of Lindsay's thirty prescriptions treated her entirely over video and had no idea she'd called a suicide hotline twice.Dreeke reads how each prosecution phase likely registered with the jury — the emotional testimony, the forensic timeline, the medical evidence — and whether the prosecution's case may have handed the defense its strongest argument on cross-examination.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

  Why Bryan Kohberger's Psych Eval Turned Against Him 19.08.2026 18min

  A defense evaluation built to protect Bryan Kohberger became the clearest window into how he processes the world. Dr. Rachel Lawson Orr tested Kohberger, interviewed his family, and cataloged behavioral patterns consistent with a lifetime of diagnoses. Those include autism spectrum disorder, OCD, ADHD, ARFID, developmental coordination disorder, depression, anorexia, and opioid use disorder from a heroin addiction he developed as a teenager. Orr documented a man with restricted facial expression, poor social reciprocity, impulsive rule-breaking, and what she called "overall poor" insight. His family confirmed the patterns and told Orr they had been coaching him through social interactions for years without success. Internet forum posts attributed to Kohberger at age sixteen describe the same gap between how he experienced himself and how others experienced him. He wrote about feeling no emotion, acting without remorse, and seeing the world like a video game. He framed his disconnection as making him "smarter." The evaluation puts clinical language to a pattern visible in every public moment since his arrest. A man on rails, cycling through the same fixed positions, unable to see what everyone around him can see.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

  Clancy, Mangione, Murdaugh — Three Courtrooms Three Bombshells 19.08.2026 55min

  Luigi Mangione confessed to murder and was convicted of stalking. Lindsay Clancy had four providers who never spoke to each other. Alex Murdaugh's prosecutor found out about his own evidence from the defense table.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski on True Crime Today to cover all three cases.Mangione told a federal judge on August 14 that he shot and killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. He posed as a financial manager overseeing billions to get the conference location. The federal murder charge had already been dismissed. His lawyers filed a double jeopardy motion to kill the state murder case within hours. He is twenty-eight and faces sentencing in December with prosecutors seeking life.The Clancy trial at Plymouth Superior Court is three weeks into testimony. Clancy's nurse practitioner had no idea she had seen her psychiatrist fourteen times. She searched "hallucinations" on her phone five days before the killings. Peer-reviewed literature documents a four percent infanticide rate for postpartum psychosis. She broke her spine in a suicide attempt and is permanently paralyzed.At Murdaugh's Lexington County hearing, Judge Debra McCaslin ordered independent DNA testing on Maggie Murdaugh's fingernail evidence and moved the retrial out of the Colleton County circuit. The defense raised a potential connection between Allendale County murder weapons and the Murdaugh case. Creighton Waters, who speaks with SLED daily, said he had never heard of it.Coffindaffer covers what an investigator sees in all three cases and where each one goes from here.Lindsay Clancy and Alex Murdaugh have pleaded not guilty.

  Handcuffed to a Hospital Bed: What Lindsay Clancy Told Her Psychologist First 18.08.2026 40min

  Two state troopers outside the door. A court order just to get in the room. That's the scene Dr. Paul Zeizel, Lindsay Clancy's clinical psychologist, described today at the Duxbury mother's murder trial, testifying about the first time he was allowed to see her in the surgical ICU after the killings. 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 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 an insanity defense centered on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Zeizel, who's met with Clancy more than 40 times, said that once he finally got access on February 4, she was handcuffed to the bed, disoriented about time and place but clear on who she was. She remembered the killings only faintly. He let her use his own phone to reach her husband Patrick — the first call went unanswered, the second got through — and on it she told Patrick she loved him, then described hearing a male voice commanding her to kill their children and herself. Zeizel testified he saw no sign she was lying, and noted that hearing voices shows up in roughly 80% of people experiencing psychosis. He also clarified the limits of his own role: psychologists handle testing, therapy, and treatment, but not medication.Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and remains paralyzed from the waist down. Patrick Clancy has since relocated to Manhattan. Zeizel returns to the stand Wednesday morning 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?

  Mangione's Guilty Plea Was Never About Remorse 18.08.2026 21min

  Luigi Mangione admitted in federal court that he shot and killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on a Manhattan sidewalk in December 2024. He entered the plea without a deal — no agreement, no negotiated sentence, no promises from the government. He wore prison fatigues instead of his usual courtroom suit. He expressed zero remorse.The plea was a legal play, not a confession of conscience.His defense team immediately filed to dismiss the state murder charges under New York's double jeopardy protections. The state case — second-degree murder, carrying 25-to-life — is set for trial September 8. If the double jeopardy motion succeeds, Mangione avoids a second prosecution entirely. The Manhattan DA's office has vowed to fight it.This episode covers the mechanics of the federal plea, the sentencing exposure Mangione now faces (guidelines suggest 24 to 30 years, prosecutors want life, sentencing December 18), and the strategic calculation behind pleading guilty with nothing guaranteed. It also follows the insurance industry angle: UnitedHealthcare denied roughly one-third of claims, used an AI algorithm instead of doctors to make coverage decisions, and responded to the public backlash not with structural reform but with a defamation law firm targeting critics on social media.Thompson's wife Paulette was in the courtroom. She watched the man who shot her husband describe the killing without emotion. Thompson was 50, a father of two boys in high school, and had worked at UnitedHealth Group for 20 years.Mangione believed his actions would force an industry to change. The denial rates are functionally the same. The insurance companies are still standing. Thompson's family is still looking for justice.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

  Why Bridegan's Wife Pointed at His Ex the Night He Was Killed 18.08.2026 16min

  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.END LINKSListen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

  What Alex Murdaugh's Prosecutor Admitted He'd Never Been Told 18.08.2026 15min

  The lead prosecutor in the Alex Murdaugh murder case found out about potential evidence linked to the murder weapons from the defense — in open court. Creighton Waters told the judge on August 14 that he had never heard of the development. He said he communicates with SLED daily.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski on True Crime Today to go through the Lexington County pretrial hearing and what it means for the retrial scheduled for April 2027.Judge Debra McCaslin granted the defense access to fingernail DNA collected from Maggie Murdaugh. SLED's standard method had confirmed unknown male DNA but failed to identify it. The defense had fought to prevent SLED from retesting the sample internally, arguing the process would consume the only material available for independent analysis. McCaslin ruled an outside lab would get access.The retrial has been relocated out of the Colleton County circuit. The first trial was held where the Murdaugh family name carried decades of institutional power. McCaslin is personally overseeing jury selection after the first conviction was thrown out due to jury tampering.The prosecution can play Murdaugh's sworn testimony from 2023, including his admission he lied about being at the kennels. It lost roughly twelve and a half hours of financial crimes evidence the Supreme Court excluded. The defense has separately raised allegations that SLED's case agent provided false testimony about a bloody T-shirt and that the lab halted testing when results did not match.Coffindaffer covers what the hearing reveals about SLED's case management and whether the prosecution is stronger or weaker heading into the second trial.Alex Murdaugh has pleaded not guilty.

  Lindsay Clancy Trial: Pathologist Explains Why Constant Pressure Matters in This Case 18.08.2026 46min

  The science got specific today in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial. Dr. Elizabeth Laposata, a forensic pathologist appearing via Zoom for the defense, testified in the case against the Duxbury, Massachusetts woman 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 told jurors she reviewed the police reports, grand jury minutes, and Clancy's medical records from the night in question. She testified that Clancy's wrist and neck wounds were made by a knife, with multiple hesitation marks consistent with a suicide attempt. She also described a Jefferson fracture in Clancy's neck and vertebrae — the kind of injury typically seen in a direct head-first fall or shallow-water dive — along with spinal cord damage, rib fractures, and injuries to the voice box and thyroid. The spinal damage, she said, also affected Clancy's ability to regulate her own body temperature.Cross-examination turned combative. Prosecutors brought up lab violations from two decades ago, which Laposata characterized as minor, likening them to a burnt-out bulb. They also confronted her with a prior case in which she'd testified consciousness fades in 5 to 10 seconds of strangulation but that death requires sustained pressure. On redirect, Laposata clarified the distinction that matters here: manual strangulation applies varying pressure, ligature strangulation doesn't, and the exercise bands allegedly used would have applied constant force. 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?

  Why Keffe D's Own Words Are the Case Against Him in Tupac's Trial 18.08.2026 13min

  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.END LINKSListen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

  Why Lindsay Clancy's Mother Was the First Defense Witness 18.08.2026 28min

  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.END LINKSListen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

  Lindsay Clancy Trial: Expert Testifies a Simple Blood Test Was Never Run 18.08.2026 1h 8min

  A defense psychiatrist laid out a timeline of missed opportunities today in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial. Dr. Donald Condie, a clinical and forensic psychiatrist focused on psychopharmacology, testified in the case against the Duxbury, Massachusetts woman 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 testified that Clancy's records from Dr. Tufts were noticeably thin on detail. He explained that auditory hallucinations are common in psychosis, and that Clancy had reported hearing voices and experiencing intrusive thoughts — symptoms he said matched the full clinical picture of postpartum psychosis. He flagged one basic failure in her treatment: thyroid problems are known to contribute to postpartum complications, yet no one ever ordered the test to check. When Clancy called the Aspire hotline, she was reportedly told her care level couldn't be escalated without a stated suicide plan. Condie said that despite medication changes and her own efforts to get help, nothing improved.Prosecutors used cross-examination to challenge his qualifications, noting his CV doesn't list specific postpartum experience, and asked whether he'd reviewed the police reports in the case. They also established that Clancy never disclosed the voices to her own treating providers. On redirect, Condie offered an explanation: fear of losing her nursing license, or of losing her children, could have kept her silent.

  Lindsay Clancy Trial: Mother-in-Law's Testimony and the Question Judge Sullivan Struck 18.08.2026 31min

  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.

  Mangione Confessed in Open Court and Walked Away With THIS 18.08.2026 12min

  Luigi Mangione confessed in federal court on August 14 to shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan. He pleaded guilty to two counts of interstate stalking resulting in death. The federal murder charge had already been dismissed. No deal was offered.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski on True Crime Today to analyze the plea and the defense strategy surrounding it.Mangione outlined his planning for the court. He emailed UnitedHealthcare pretending to manage a fund worth more than fifty billion dollars. The company sent back the conference location within an hour. He traveled to New York, positioned himself outside the venue, and shot Thompson from behind as the CEO walked toward the event.His attorneys filed to dismiss the New York state murder charges on double jeopardy grounds the same day. State jury selection had been set for September 8. The defense asked for the federal hearing three days prior.Mangione's sentencing date is December 18. The court cited guidelines of twenty-four to thirty years, though prosecutors have publicly announced they want life. He is twenty-eight, putting even the low end of the range past his fiftieth birthday.Since his arrest, Mangione has beaten terrorism charges when a judge ruled the evidence insufficient and avoided a federal murder conviction entirely. Coffindaffer examines what this trajectory tells an investigator, whether the double jeopardy motion has legal merit, and whether a system that started with a death-penalty-eligible case and ended with a stalking conviction has been outplayed.Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

  Lindsay Clancy's Nurse Practitioner Had No Idea About THIS 18.08.2026 27min

  Lindsay Clancy saw her psychiatrist fourteen times in four months. Her nurse practitioner, who was also prescribing her medications, had no knowledge of those visits. When Clancy checked herself into a locked psychiatric unit, neither outpatient provider was notified.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski on True Crime Today to cover what these provider coordination failures mean in a case where three children — Cora, five, Dawson, three, and Callan, eight months — are dead.The trial at Plymouth Superior Court is in its third week. Testimony has shown Clancy searched "hallucinations" on her phone five days before January 24, 2023. She messaged providers that she felt completely hopeless and was experiencing unfamiliar intrusive thoughts. A postpartum treatment program she reached out to declined to accept her because of the number of medications she was already taking.Peer-reviewed literature documents postpartum psychosis as a rare condition — roughly one in every thousand births — with a four percent infanticide rate. Clancy's defense argues she was in the grip of that condition. The prosecution argues she was deliberate.Clancy attempted to end her own life immediately after. She jumped from a window and shattered her spine. She is permanently paralyzed. Coffindaffer covers what a jury does with evidence of a suicide attempt that severe, what it means that the system she was begging for help had no internal communication, and how an investigator reads the gap between a mother who planned a killing and a mother who could not stop one.Lindsay Clancy has pleaded not guilty. She is presumed innocent.Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

  John-Paul Miller Preached a Full Sermon Before Saying a Word About Mica 18.08.2026 30min

  On the morning after Mica Miller's death, her husband John-Paul Miller didn't call a press conference or issue a statement to his congregation. He preached a full Sunday service at Solid Rock Church in Myrtle Beach. He talked about taking a break. Then, at the very end, he mentioned that his wife was dead. He called it "self-induced." He told the congregation not to talk about it inside the church. Then he walked off the stage.The federal indictment that followed — filed December 2025 — alleges Miller ran a seventeen-month cyberstalking campaign against Mica while serving as her pastor and her husband. Prosecutors describe tracking devices, an intimate photograph distributed without consent, daily harassment exceeding fifty contacts, and interference with her finances and daily life. Mica filed eight police complaints. She went through two divorce filings. Miller held healthcare power of attorney over the woman accusing him of the conduct.Miller's history runs deeper than one marriage. His father Reginald built a church empire in the Lowcountry and lost it to four federal felony convictions involving forced labor of foreign students. Two civil lawsuits filed in 2025 name both father and son and allege both used their churches to target minors. Miller's first wife stated in a divorce affidavit that he'd confessed a prostitution addiction to his own congregation.After Mica died, witnesses saw Miller drinking at a bar with congregant Suzie Skinner four days later. Her previous husband — a paralyzed Army veteran — had drowned after confronting Miller about an affair. Miller married Suzie with armed guards thirteen months after Mica's death. His trial has been delayed to October 2026. Netflix's "Death of the Pastor's Wife" premieres August 26.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
