Podcast appearances and mentions of Andrea Yates

Mental health conditions are now the leading killer of new mothers in the United States. The CDC puts the number at nearly twenty-three percent of all pregnancy-related deaths, ahead of hemorrhage, ahead of heart failure. Over eighty percent were preventable. One in five mothers gets screened for depression after delivery.Those numbers sit behind the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy at Plymouth Superior Court. Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse, killed her three young children at their Duxbury, Massachusetts, home in January 2023, less than three weeks after being released from a psychiatric facility. Prosecutors and her defense team agree she was mentally ill. The jury is weighing whether she was too ill to understand her actions.Her defense rests on postpartum psychosis, a psychiatric emergency affecting roughly one to two mothers per thousand births. Despite the name, clinicians describe it as a mood disorder that arrives fast and disguises itself as ordinary postpartum fatigue. Bipolar history and prior episodes are the clearest warning signs, both screenable before delivery. With early treatment the acute crisis resolves in weeks.Forensic psychiatrist Phillip Resnick testified for Clancy's defense. He also testified for Andrea Yates, who drowned her five children in 2001 and was ultimately found not guilty by reason of insanity. Meghan Cliffel, a postpartum psychosis survivor from 2015, questions why the system waits for dead children before it pays attention.END_LINKS:Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

More than 25 years after the Andrea Yates case drew national attention, it is being discussed again as the Lindsay Clancy trial raises renewed questions about postpartum mental health, psychosis and criminal responsibility. Andrea Yates had a documented history of severe mental illness, psychiatric hospitalisations and psychosis before the events of 2001. Her first conviction was later overturned, and at a second trial in 2006, she was found not guilty by reason of insanity. In this episode of True Crime Recaps, we revisit Andrea Yates' psychiatric history, the warning signs documented before the case, the expert testimony surrounding her trials, and the legal developments that ultimately changed the outcome. We also examine why the ongoing Lindsay Clancy trial has brought renewed attention to the Yates case and some of the broader questions surrounding postpartum mental illness and the criminal justice system. The circumstances and evidence in the two cases are different. Lindsay Clancy has pleaded not guilty, and her case remains ongoing. Follow True Crime Recaps for new true crime episodes every week.

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

A month before Lindsay Clancy killed her three children, she was writing in a journal tracking her psychiatric medications and her mental state. By December 2022 the handwriting had fallen apart. Kevin Reddington held those pages in front of the jury and told them Lindsay's mind was already gone.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta was in the courtroom. He joins Tony Brueski to break down the defense closing — the medication chart, the journal, the Resnick comparison to Andrea Yates, and whether the jury bought it.END LINKSListen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want 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/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Whatever this jury decides, Lindsay Clancy is not walking out of that courthouse a free woman — and True Crime Today brought in defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis to explain exactly where she goes instead. Verdict one: not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility. That doesn't mean release in Massachusetts. It means up to forty days of court-ordered observation, followed by a civil commitment petition that carries no statutory expiration. Faddis draws the comparison to Andrea Yates, found not guilty by reason of insanity in Texas in 2006 for drowning her five children — she's still committed two decades later and has never accepted the release hearing offered to her every year. Verdict two: first-degree murder, which in Massachusetts comes with an automatic sentence of life without parole and an automatic appeal to the state's highest court. Faddis walks through what that appeal actually reviews, why the psychiatric evidence doesn't disappear just because the jury rejected it, and the lesser verdict — second-degree murder — that most people following this case don't realize is even on the table. Underneath both paths is the same physical reality: Clancy has been paralyzed from the waist down and on suicide watch since January 2023, held at Tewksbury Hospital since that May under court order. One verdict keeps her in a hospital bed. The other moves her into a prison system Faddis says isn't equipped for what her care requires. Faddis lays out both roads in full — what triggers each one, how long they can last, and what almost never happens after either: her going home. 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 testified about the last normal afternoon of his life, the photos his kids texted him, the check-in before he left the house, and how none of it looked like anything except an ordinary day. Weeks before the killings, nurse practitioner Rebecca Jollotta had raised bipolar disorder with the couple directly, and Patrick answered her in five words. Every expert on both sides of this trial has since weighed in on whether that diagnosis fits, because the entire case turns on the difference between psychosis and something else entirely. Patrick was never a suspect and never charged. He testified for the prosecution across two days, moved to Manhattan four months after burying his children, and took a sales job at Microsoft. He filed for divorce in February 2024, was already in a relationship with Dr. Rachel Danis that same month, and married her this April in Central Park, three years and three months after the day his children died. Lindsay's own attorney called what happened to him one of the worst tragedies anyone could suffer. Online, self-described profilers with no real credentials have built entire theories out of that timeline, and Andrea Yates' husband Rusty knows exactly what that feels like from twenty-five years of surviving it himself. He reached out to Patrick during this trial, and his new wife has received death threats over accusations Patrick's attorneys call defamatory. Both sides of the courtroom agree on one thing: Patrick did nothing but come home to a catastrophe he never saw coming. Tony Brueski walks through what the record actually shows about the man at the center of every online theory, and what it doesn't. Links & Legal Footer: Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A commenter on this channel claimed Lindsay Clancy searched "Andrea Yates" before the killings to build herself an alibi. Her former coworker testified to something else entirely. Margaret Hamp worked nights with Lindsay on the labor and delivery floor at Mass General, and during Lindsay's first year there, she asked Lindsay if she knew the Yates case after a pregnant patient came in planning to hurt herself. Lindsay didn't know it. Hamp had to explain it to her. That gap between online claims and courtroom testimony runs through this entire trial. Every expert who examined Lindsay, on both sides, came back with bipolar disorder or major depression. Not one called her a sociopath or a psychopath, even though a text pulled from her phone on January 20 asks whether a sociopath can be treated, a line prosecutors lean on hard. Messages from the day before describe hallucinations and postpartum psychosis symptoms. Same phone, same week, two different stories. The prosecution's own psychiatrist, Dr. Avram Mack, testified Lindsay described a male, laughing voice telling her it was her last chance, the same account she gave a hospital chaplain in the first week after her arrest. One popular claim online insists she only ever told her own psychologist about that voice. The record says otherwise: she told the state's own witness too. Judge Sullivan's instructions to the jury lay out two separate prongs: whether she could appreciate that what she was doing was wrong, or whether she could control what she did. Knowing right from wrong only answers one of those questions. Tony Brueski checks the loudest theories about this case against what actually got said under oath. Links & Legal Footer: Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Dr. Phillip Resnick examined two women who killed their own children in the exact same way, decades apart, and reached the same conclusion both times. He evaluated Andrea Yates before her 2001 case ended in a not guilty by reason of insanity verdict, and he told Lindsay Clancy's jury she was following a command voice too, the same finding, one expert, two mothers. That comparison sits at the center of a defense case that's now rested. The record shows Lindsay in session with her psychiatrist on January 23, 2023, one day before the killings, on top of 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 planning theory, built on errands and timing, runs into Resnick's testimony that the Commonwealth's own testing found no evidence of faking, and that Lindsay downplayed her symptoms rather than exaggerated them. The staged-jump theory runs into the fact that she's paralyzed for life and remains on suicide watch at Tewksbury Hospital. Prosecutors have their own expert. 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 she reportedly framed very differently to a hospital chaplain a week later and to Resnick himself 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, and a conviction would mean life without parole starting at age thirty-six for a woman already paralyzed and under suicide watch. Tony Brueski asks what it means when the same doctor who helped clear one mother says the same thing about another. Links & Legal Footer: Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

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. Links & Legal Footer: 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 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. Links & Legal Footer: Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

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. 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 verdicts. Neither one lets Lindsay Clancy go home — and defense attorney Eric Faddis is here to explain why, with the case law laid out in full. If this jury goes with not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility, Massachusetts still holds her: up to forty days of observation first, then a civil commitment petition with no expiration date attached. Faddis points to Andrea Yates as the template — found not guilty by reason of insanity in Texas back in 2006, and still inside a state hospital today, turning down her release hearing year after year. If the jury convicts on first-degree murder instead, there's no sentencing debate to watch. The penalty is automatic — life without parole — and the verdict triggers a mandatory appeal straight to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, one that has to reckon with every psychiatric expert both sides put on the stand. Faddis breaks down the option jurors have that most people watching don't know exists: second-degree murder, the only verdict on that slip that comes with eventual parole eligibility. He also gets into what a successful appeal would even need to argue, and how rarely a life-without-parole sentence actually gets undone. None of this happens in the abstract. Clancy has been paralyzed from the waist down and on suicide watch since January 2023, currently held at Tewksbury Hospital under court order. A guilty verdict means moving that care and that body into the corrections system — one Faddis says isn't built for what her situation requires. Two verdict slips. Two entirely different rest-of-her-life sentences. Faddis breaks down both. Links: Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

If this jury convicts Lindsay Clancy, her life sentence starts at age thirty-six, with no parole, ever. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to explain exactly what that number means for a woman who is paralyzed from the chest down and has been under constant watch since January 2023. For three and a half years, everyone around Lindsay has existed to keep her alive and treat her illness. Conviction flips that mission entirely. Shavaun breaks down what it means to go from patient to inmate, and why that transition hits harder for someone in her physical condition than for almost anyone else facing sentencing this year. The Department of Justice has already investigated Massachusetts prisons for isolating suicidal inmates in bare cells for months at a time, and a paralyzed woman with a documented history of self-harm would enter that system with no way to physically defend herself. None of it happens in a vacuum. The defense has rested on a record that includes a psychiatrist visit the day before the killings, a five-day inpatient stay at McLean that ended nineteen days before, and testimony from Dr. Phillip Resnick, who also examined Andrea Yates, that Lindsay was following a command voice. Prosecutors counter with Dr. Avram Mack, who says she could tell right from wrong, and Lindsay's own words to her children during the killings, which the defense argues sit alongside very different words she gave a chaplain and a second doctor in the months that followed. Shavaun and Tony take on the argument splitting the audience in half: does she pay with her life, or does a cell become just another kind of sentence for an illness nobody in this courtroom actually disputes she has. Links & Legal Footer: Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two of Lindsay Clancy's own expert witnesses looked at the same woman and walked away with different diagnoses, and that disagreement might matter more than anything the prosecution said in fourteen days at Plymouth Superior Court. The courtroom conduct alone has raised eyebrows. The prosecution opened by calling Lindsay "controlling, meticulous, and manipulative" and telling the jury she faked a suicide attempt, even though she's paralyzed from the waist down after cutting her own wrists and neck and jumping from a second-story window. On cross-examination, the prosecutor asked Lindsay's former mother-in-law, who described her as a wonderful and nurturing mother, whether she knew murder was a mortal sin. The judge struck the question. When Lindsay's mother testified that her daughter said the medication was destroying her mind, the prosecutor asked why she was never committed. During autopsy testimony for eight-month-old Callan, Lindsay sobbed hard enough that the judge called a recess, and the next morning brought accusations of a hot mic catching someone on the prosecution's side saying "shut her up," which the DA's office denies. But the diagnosis fight is the one that actually decides what happens next. If the jury returns a not guilty by reason of insanity verdict, Massachusetts law allows the state to keep refiling commitment petitions every six months, indefinitely, and release requires convincing a judge she's no longer mentally ill or dangerous. Andrea Yates, acquitted the same way in 2006, is still institutionalized today. Getting out isn't just about proving her innocence anymore. It means proving, to a judge, over and over, that a diagnosis her own defense says she'll carry for life no longer makes her dangerous. Defense attorney Eric Faddis and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott join Tony Brueski to separate the theater from what actually determines Lindsay Clancy's future. Links & Legal Footer: Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Lindsay Clancy jury has three options and none of them sends her home. Guilty of first-degree murder means life without parole. Guilty of second-degree means life with eventual parole eligibility. Not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility means commitment to a psychiatric facility with no time limit. Each path has a legal fight attached to it that outlasts the verdict.Eric Faddis, a defense attorney and former prosecutor, walks through all three outcomes and the deliberation that precedes them. In Massachusetts, the prosecution carries the burden of proving criminal responsibility beyond a reasonable doubt. The two-prong McHoul test requires the Commonwealth to prove Clancy could appreciate the wrongfulness of her actions and could conform her conduct to the law. Both must be met. The prosecution's rebuttal psychiatrist told this jury Clancy had a severe depressive episode but would not call it psychosis. The legal test does not require that label.On the not-guilty path, commitment under MGL Chapter 123 allows indefinite hospitalization. Andrea Yates was found not guilty by reason of insanity twenty years ago and remains in a state psychiatric facility. She declines her annual release hearing every year. Reddington's role as Clancy's attorney continues through the periodic review process.On the guilty path, the SJC automatically reviews the conviction. The trial record includes the mental health testimony the jury rejected. Clancy would also transfer from Tewksbury Hospital to the corrections system — paralyzed and on 24-hour suicide watch, entering a facility not designed for her level of need.If the jury cannot agree, the judge can issue a Tuey-Rodriguez charge. If it fails, the result is a mistrial and the case starts over.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

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

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. Links & Legal Footer: Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Let's break down this heartbreaking case of Lindsay Clancy together, the same way we would if you were sitting across from me in a small back office with a single lamp, a stack of case files, and the door cracked open. The Lindsay Clancy case has stirred up a level of emotion and tribalism that's drowning out the evidence, and I wanted to bring in someone who's been in the trenches on cases just like this. So I sat down with retired Houston Police Homicide Detective Fil Waters — a guy who worked the Andrea Yates murders and has interviewed mothers who killed their children under circumstances eerily similar to what we're seeing now.In this episode, we talk about the tension between mental health crises and purposeful behavior, the high legal bar for insanity, and the investigative questions that matter when you're trying to understand whether someone knew right from wrong. Fil shares what he saw in the Yates case, in other filicide cases he worked, and how those experiences shape the way he views the Clancy case. This isn't about sensationalism. It's about clarity, compassion, and disciplined behavioral analysis — and about helping people who are genuinely trying to make sense of something that may never feel fully explainable.#ProfilingEvil #TrueCrimeCommunity #LindsayClancy #AndreaYates #FilWaters #BehavioralAnalysis #CriminalProfiling #CrimeSceneAnalysis #TrueCrimePodcast #EvidenceBasedAnalysis #MentalHealthAwareness #PostpartumPsychosis #JusticeSystem #CourtroomAnalysis #CrimeAndPsychology #ChildSafety #TrueCrimeDiscussion #LawEnforcementInsights #HoustonPolice========================================Website: www.ProfilingEvil.com========================================Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================

Every six months, for as long as the state wants, prosecutors could ask a judge to keep Lindsay Clancy locked inside a hospital instead of a prison. That's the mechanism waiting behind whatever verdict comes out of Plymouth Superior Court, and it's the part almost nobody watching this trial has actually thought through. Massachusetts law follows an insanity acquittal with a forty-day observation window, then commitment petitions that renew in six-month blocks with no ceiling on how many times the state can file. Getting released means convincing a judge Lindsay is no longer mentally ill or dangerous, while carrying a diagnosis her own defense told the jury she'll be managing for the rest of her life. Andrea Yates, acquitted by reason of insanity back in 2006, is still inside a Texas state facility today. That's the closest precedent this case has. It matters more given what jurors have already sat through. The prosecution opened by calling Lindsay "controlling, meticulous, and manipulative" and claiming she faked a suicide attempt, despite the fact that she's paralyzed from the waist down after cutting her own wrists and neck and jumping from a second-story window. During autopsy testimony for eight-month-old Callan, she sobbed hard enough that the judge called a recess. The next morning brought accusations of a hot mic catching someone on the prosecution's side saying "shut her up," which the DA's office disputes. Dueling experts have already left this jury with two incompatible diagnoses, and whichever one wins the verdict will control her treatment, her medication, and her odds of ever walking out of that facility. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to lay out exactly how long "not guilty" can actually keep someone confined, and why the number most people assume is nowhere close to the one the law actually allows. Links & Legal Footer: Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Three verdicts. Three completely different futures. Lindsay Clancy's jury begins deliberations after closing arguments Thursday, and the outcome determines whether she spends the rest of her life in a prison, a psychiatric hospital, or back in a courtroom for a second trial.Eric Faddis sits down to walk through every scenario. He covers the jury room first — the Massachusetts legal standard that puts the burden on the prosecution, the two-prong test for criminal responsibility, and why the prosecution's own expert acknowledging severe mental illness matters under a standard that says mental disease or defect without requiring a specific diagnosis.If the jury acquits, Clancy enters a commitment process with no end date. Under Massachusetts law, the state can petition for involuntary commitment after 40 days of observation. Andrea Yates has been in a state hospital for twenty years after a similar verdict. Periodic review hearings require the state to prove Clancy remains mentally ill and dangerous. Reddington continues to represent her through those hearings.If the jury convicts on first-degree murder, the sentence is mandatory life without parole. Clancy transfers from Tewksbury Hospital to the corrections system — a paralyzed woman on 24-hour suicide watch moving from a treatment facility to a prison. The conviction goes to the SJC on automatic appeal with the full trial record, including the rejected mental health evidence.If the jury deadlocks, a mistrial is declared. The Karen Read jury deliberated 23 hours across five days and could not reach agreement even after Tuey-Rodriguez instructions.Faddis covers the mechanics of each outcome and what the legal fight looks like for Reddington after every possible verdict.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Everyone following the Lindsay Clancy trial wants to know what happens if the jury says she is not criminally responsible. The answer is not what most people expect. She does not go home. She enters a commitment system that can hold her for the rest of her life.Eric Faddis, a defense attorney and former prosecutor, breaks down the path. After a not-guilty-by-reason-of-lack-of-criminal-responsibility verdict, Massachusetts law allows the court to order Clancy hospitalized for observation and evaluation for up to 40 days. The district attorney or hospital superintendent can then petition for involuntary commitment under MGL Chapter 123. The commitment has no time limit. Release requires showing she is no longer mentally ill or dangerous — and that burden falls on the person seeking release.At periodic review hearings, the state must demonstrate that Clancy still meets the standard for continued commitment. The proceedings are adversarial. Reddington would represent Clancy at each one. The state can fight to keep her committed even after a jury rejected their criminal case.Clancy has been at Tewksbury Hospital receiving court-ordered psychiatric treatment since May 2023. She is paralyzed from the waist down and on continuous suicide watch. Inside a commitment facility, treatment is the daily structure — medication management, therapy, psychiatric evaluation. In prison, treatment is available but the institution serves a different purpose.Andrea Yates provides the closest comparison. Found not guilty by reason of insanity in 2006, she remains in a Texas psychiatric hospital twenty years later. She has declined every annual release hearing she is entitled to. Faddis examines whether Clancy's path after an acquittal would look the same.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Door one: a prison cell, life without parole, the oldest women's facility in America receiving its most notorious inmate. Door two: a state hospital, commitments renewed twice a year, a release standard she may never satisfy. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski for the complete three-part interview on why the Lindsay Clancy verdict decides which door — not whether one closes.Shavaun brings a career of forensic and clinical work to every branch of this story. She explains what incarceration demands of a woman who needs two people to leave her bed, and what a no-parole sentence does to a thirty-six-year-old with no family left outside. She dismantles the assumption that an insanity finding equals mercy, tracing the legal machinery that has kept Andrea Yates hospitalized for two decades after her acquittal. She maps that machinery onto the road ahead for Clancy — including the unresolved expert war over what's actually wrong with her.And she gives the third figure in this tragedy his due: Patrick Clancy, the father carrying a loss with no name and absorbing accusations his attorneys condemn as patently false. His survival lessons come from Rusty Yates, because no one else alive can offer them.The complete conversation, all three parts, one sitting. When the verdict lands, you'll understand what it actually decided — and what it never could.END LINKS:Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want 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.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

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

A not-guilty verdict in Lindsay Clancy's trial does not result in her walking out of a courthouse. It results in a commitment hearing — and possibly a lifetime inside a psychiatric facility with no statutory release date.Eric Faddis sits down to explain what that path actually looks like. Under Massachusetts law, the court can order 40 days of hospitalization and observation after a finding of not criminally responsible. The district attorney then petitions for civil commitment. The commitment has no time limit. At periodic review hearings, the state must prove Clancy is still mentally ill and dangerous. If the state meets that burden, she stays. If it does not, a judge could order her release.Clancy is already at Tewksbury Hospital. She has been there since May 2023 for court-ordered mental health treatment. She is paralyzed from the waist down and under 24-hour suicide watch. Whether she goes to a psychiatric commitment facility or a prison, her medical and mental health needs remain significant. Faddis explains what the actual difference in care looks like between the two settings.Andrea Yates killed five of her children in Texas in 2001 and was found not guilty by reason of insanity in 2006. She has remained in a psychiatric hospital for two decades, declining an annual hearing that could lead to release. Her attorney has said she will likely never leave.Faddis covers whether the prosecution can continue fighting to keep Clancy committed after a jury rejected their case, what daily life inside a commitment facility looks like, and whether Reddington's legal role continues after the verdict.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Her best-case scenario is the insanity verdict — the one where the jury agrees her mind was broken and she isn't criminally responsible. Live with Tony Brueski, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott spends three full segments showing why even that outcome keeps Lindsay Clancy behind locked doors, possibly forever — and why the alternative is darker still.The full interview runs the board. Segment one: the conviction path, where life without parole meets a paralyzed body and a psychiatric history inside a prison system federal investigators already flagged for how it treats inmates in crisis. Segment two: the commitment path, where six-month renewals stack into decades, release means disproving a lifelong illness, and Andrea Yates — twenty years confined after her own acquittal — stands as the cautionary tale. Segment three: Patrick Clancy's parallel ordeal, from the accusations his attorneys call patently false to the death threats against his new wife to the guidance of the one man who's survived this before him.Shavaun brings decades of clinical and forensic experience; Tony brings the questions the audience shouts at their screens. The chat gets the final segment, and the debate is already raging: if no door ever opens for Lindsay Clancy, did this trial ever really have stakes?Come argue. This one runs deep.END LINKS:Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The prosecution began its closing arguments by acknowledging Lindsay Clancy was mentally ill, but pointed out that she had an “abundance of help” and was in a privileged position. Prosecutor Jennifer Sprague told jurors that Clancy lied to health care providers, lied to her husband, friends and family., telling them she was getting better. Sprague at one point, even made a comparison to Andrea Yates, saying Yates tried to commit suicide twice to try and protect her children, until the judge intervened. The prosecution ended by saying Clancy left her children “discarded on the basement floor, like broken toys, because she was done playing the game.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Yes, their crimes are horrifically linked: Andrea Yates and Lindsay Clancy both claim they were “commanded” to kill their children one by one, both were former nurses, both were raised Catholic and both pleaded guilty by reason of insanity, citing postpartum psychosis. But 25 years later, turns out one of the state’s star witnesses, Dr. Avram Mack, who testified Clancy knew right from wrong and is criminally responsible for killing her kids, works for the very psychiatrist who was later proven to have falsely testified against Andrea Yates. Dr. Park Dietz said Andrea Yates replicated a “Law and Order” episode to get away with murder, but the episode never happened, and his testimony ultimately led to Yates getting a new trial where she was found not guilty by reason of insanity.

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

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

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

The Patrick Clancy theories got big enough that CNN and Yahoo covered them. Patrick's attorneys at Todd & Weld put out a statement calling the accusations patently false and defamatory, and said they've caused real consequences for his family's safety. This episode does what those articles didn't have room for. It takes fifteen actual comments from this channel and reads the testimony back to each one.The accusations: a rope on the bedroom door, blood outside the window from an escape, a knife set down by a left-handed man, a mistress, a flight to Europe, an investigation that never happened. The record: Patrick testified the door was locked; the bands found on a door were in the basement; State Police called the window stains transfer stains; no witness addressed handedness; nothing in the trial mentions a mistress; Det. Sgt. Andrew Chiachio testified he mapped Patrick's route and pulled both surveillance videos.The other side has its own confidence. Lindsay acted rationally and intentionally, one comment says, which is the prosecution's argument stated as a verdict. The diagnoses in the record are bipolar disorder, from experts on both sides, and major depression. The OCPD, sociopath, and psychopath labels come from the comments.The detail this episode is built around: "Where is the carotid artery" is in Lindsay's phone extraction, and it was Kevin Reddington, her own lawyer, who put it on a poster board for the jury. Why the defense wanted that search seen, and why prosecutors framed the same history differently, is the first thing you'll hear.Also in here: what Lindsay said the first time a coworker told her about Andrea Yates, the five words Patrick said when a nurse raised bipolar, and what each verdict does to Lindsay Clancy.END LINKSListen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In Massachusetts, Lindsay Clancy's defense attorney grills final prosecution witnesses after they testify that she knew right from wrong when she killed her children. In Florida, a verdict has been reached in the trial of Mario Fernandez Saldana, a man accused of arranging the fatal shooting of his wife's ex-husband, Microsoft employee Jared Bridegan. In Dateline Round Up, the trial is underway for Duane "Keefe D" Davis, accused of orchestrating the 1996 shooting that killed rap legend Tupac Shakur. Donna Adelson, the Florida grandmother convicted of murdering her former son-in-law FSU law professor, Dan Markel, is asking for a new trial. Plus, a psychiatrist breaks down postpartum psychosis.

Yes, their crimes are horrifically linked: Andrea Yates and Lindsay Clancy both claim they were “commanded” to kill their children one by one, both were former nurses, both were raised Catholic and both pleaded guilty by reason of insanity, citing postpartum psychosis. But 25 years later, turns out one of the state’s star witnesses, Dr. Avram Mack, who testified Clancy knew right from wrong and is criminally responsible for killing her kids, works for the very psychiatrist who was later proven to have falsely testified against Andrea Yates. Dr. Park Dietz said Andrea Yates replicated a “Law and Order” episode to get away with murder, but the episode never happened, and his testimony ultimately led to Yates getting a new trial where she was found not guilty by reason of insanity. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The prosecution began its closing arguments by acknowledging Lindsay Clancy was mentally ill, but pointed out that she had an “abundance of help” and was in a privileged position. Prosecutor Jennifer Sprague told jurors that Clancy lied to health care providers, lied to her husband, friends and family., telling them she was getting better. Sprague at one point, even made a comparison to Andrea Yates, saying Yates tried to commit suicide twice to try and protect her children, until the judge intervened. The prosecution ended by saying Clancy left her children “discarded on the basement floor, like broken toys, because she was done playing the game.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If Lindsay Clancy was truly psychotic, why would she care whether Patrick was home? That's the question in this comment section, and it's the prosecution's argument, so it deserves the record's answer.Prosecutors allege she timed the errand. Patrick Clancy testified she asked him to add the CVS stop as he was walking out, and texted the product name around 5:15. Both facts are in evidence. Whether that adds up to premeditation is the jury's call, and the prosecution's own witness, Dr. Sejal Shah, agreed a person in psychosis can still communicate and plan.Her account of that night comes through three witnesses. Zeizel, Cavanaugh, and Mack all testified she described a male voice telling her she had no choice and had to kill the children and then herself. That's her claim, and prosecutors contest it. It's also the exact sequence she was on when Patrick found her in the yard.Another comment bets on OCPD. No expert who testified diagnosed it. The record has bipolar disorder from experts on both sides, major depression from Mack, and postpartum psychosis from the defense only.Then there's the coworker. Margaret Hamp testified she told Lindsay about Andrea Yates during Lindsay's first year on the unit, because a pregnant patient had come in planning to hurt herself. Lindsay had never heard the name. Her reaction is on the record and it opens this segment.Five comments about whether Lindsay was in her right mind, each checked against the doctors, the nurse practitioner, the therapist, and the standard the judge gave the jury. The psychosis fight is real. It's happening between experts, and the comment section is a long way behind them.END LINKSListen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two prosecutors, one blind spot. Plymouth County called a psychiatrist to prove Lindsay Clancy was responsible, and the jury heard him relay the voice she described. Jackson County pledged a grand jury would see everything it gathered on Nolan Wells, and it never gathered the phone. Jennifer Coffindaffer, a 25-year FBI veteran, works both with Tony Brueski.In Massachusetts, the last defense witness was Dr. Phillip Resnick, by video, on August 21, 2026. He put Clancy in the same category as Andrea Yates: psychotic, following orders from a voice. Coffindaffer says sick and still responsible. Tony puts every argument next to a fact. Yates planned too. The testing showed no faking. She had a psychiatrist session the day before. She's paralyzed and on suicide watch. The chaplain heard about the voice in 2023 and the lawsuit came in 2026. McLean sent her home nineteen days out. Mack first met her in April 2026.In Mississippi, the 18-year-old never came home from a July 4 boat trip. The phone did. His mother says what she found on it had been emptied out; his friends say they left it alone. The July 15 joint-exam deal produced no date. The DA's 48-hour letter arrived August 12, and the family answered with August 18 through 21. Seven weeks on, no exam, and the DA's statements don't say the word.The sheriff's office cleared the case of foul play on day two, pre-autopsy, and never asked for the phone. The Congressional Black Caucus, the NAACP, and Al Sharpton all weighed in before any test. The friends handed over their own phones to federal agents voluntarily.Clancy maintains a not guilty plea on lack of criminal responsibility, and nobody has been charged over Nolan. Both cases are about to be decided by citizens, and in both the state is missing the piece that answers the question.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

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

Lindsay Clancy acted timely, intentionally, rationally, and swiftly to accomplish a very specific goal. That's a comment on this channel, and it's also the prosecution's case in one sentence. The problem is treating it as a finding.Massachusetts puts the burden on the Commonwealth. Prosecutors have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Lindsay was criminally responsible. Judge William Sullivan read the jury the test: whether a mental disease left her without substantial capacity to appreciate the wrongfulness of her conduct, or to conform her conduct to the law. Two prongs. A defendant who knew it was wrong can still fail the second one.On that question, the experts split down the middle. Dr. Phillip Resnick, for the defense, testified Lindsay was under a command hallucination and did not feel any sense of control. Dr. Avram Mack, for the prosecution, testified she always had the capacity to control her behavior. The jury picks.The same commenter cites her lying to medical staff, refusing treatment, and skipping meds. Dr. Shah, a prosecution witness, called her an honest patient. Nurse practitioner Rebecca Jollotta testified Lindsay asked to change her medications nearly every day and once wanted to stop them, and that Women & Infants Hospital itself recommended tapering Seroquel. On Dec. 15, 2022, Lindsay went to the Mass General ER and chose to stay outpatient. On Jan. 1 she checked herself into McLean. Refusing treatment and seeking treatment are both in the record, sometimes in the same week.This segment takes five comments on the psychosis question and checks each one, including the Andrea Yates conversation a coworker described under oath and the diagnoses experts on both sides actually made. Stating the verdict before the jury does is the same mistake from either direction.END LINKSListen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

On Hidden Killers Live, ex-FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer takes on two cases in one sitting with Tony Brueski. First the Lindsay Clancy trial, where the prosecution's rebuttal psychiatrist carried her description of the voice into the record. Then the Nolan Wells investigation, where the DA's grand jury promise doesn't cover the one device the case turns on.Clancy's defense rested August 21, 2026, on Dr. Phillip Resnick, the psychiatrist from the Andrea Yates acquittal. He told jurors she was psychotic and following a command voice. Dr. Avram Mack, called by prosecutors, said she knew her actions were wrong and also said she described a laughing male voice to him and told him she doesn't want to be alive.Coffindaffer argues guilt and Tony argues the record. The psychiatrist session on January 23, 2023. Testing for the Commonwealth that showed no faking. The paralysis and the suicide watch. A chaplain who heard about the voice in January 2023, three years ahead of the lawsuit. A McLean discharge nineteen days before the deaths. Mack at three years versus Resnick at four months.Then Mississippi. Nolan Wells' phone has been with his family since the first days after he died on Horn Island, and seven weeks later nobody has examined it. Both sides agreed to a joint exam on July 15 and never booked it. The DA's 48-hour demand came next; the family's four-day offer came after. The sheriff said no foul play before the autopsy and never asked for the phone. The friends deny tampering.Clancy has entered a not guilty plea claiming no criminal responsibility; no one is charged in Nolan's death. The chat votes on both: is this strategy, or is the state afraid of what its own evidence says?Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Day 19 of the Lindsay Clancy murder trial in Plymouth Superior Court, and the prosecution's rebuttal case fell apart in slow motion. Forensic psychologist Dr. Kirk Heilbrun called the postpartum psychosis defense "convenient," offered the clearest alternate theory yet, and then said the words "isn't suicide a mortal sin" in front of the jury. Kevin Reddington moved for a mistrial. Judge William Sullivan denied it and then reprimanded the prosecution anyway. The jury went home early. Closing arguments are Wednesday.But the story nobody is covering is the firm. Both of the Commonwealth's rebuttal experts were retained through Park Dietz and Associates, named for the psychiatrist whose false Law & Order testimony got Andrea Yates' conviction overturned in 2005. The defense's star witness on Friday was Dr. Phillip Resnick, who was the Yates defense expert. This trial is a rematch, and the two prosecution experts cannot even agree on what is wrong with Lindsay Clancy.IN THIS EPISODEReddington takes apart Dr. Avram Mack on the DSM's four week postpartum window, the WHO's different standard, and the proposed six week revision. "Postpartum is not a disease, doctor." Mack admits it is roughly the third time in his career he has testified on criminal responsibility, and that he has treated about ten women with postpartum psychosis since 2001. On cross he concedes that blood work and thyroid testing should have been done, and as far as he can tell were not.Then the firm. Park Dietz and Associates, the Andrea Yates conviction reversal, the joint evaluation at Tewksbury, and why "two independent experts" is doing a lot of work in that sentence.Then Heilbrun. His testing found no malingering and a slight tendency to underreport symptoms. He diagnosed bipolar II, which splits the Commonwealth's own two experts. He offered "suicide combined with altruistic filicide" as the alternate theory, a theory in which love is the motive. He attacked the 18 minute voice on three fronts. And he used the word "convenient."Then the mistrial. "Intentional misconduct," Sullivan's instruction from the bench, and the second time religion has entered this trial through the prosecution's door.SOURCESBoston Globe, CBS Boston, ABC News, Boston 25 News, CNN, Fox News Digital, Court TV, and archival reporting from the Washington Post, NBC News and Psychiatric News on the 2005 Andrea Yates reversal.IF YOU NEED ITNational Maternal Mental Health Hotline: call or text 1-833-TLC-MAMA.

On January 23, 2023, Lindsay Clancy told her psychiatrist she felt numb, had no motivation, and was forcing herself out of bed. She denied any thoughts of hurting anyone. The next day she killed Cora, Dawson, and Callan. That visit is the hinge of the Lindsay Clancy trial, and ex-FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer argues with Tony Brueski that it proves she was responsible.Tony argues the opposite: a woman in treatment the day before, cleared by a hospital nineteen days before, calling suicide hotlines a month before, is not a woman hiding her illness. The defense rested on August 21, 2026, with Dr. Phillip Resnick, who testified she was psychotic and following a command voice. He's the psychiatrist whose testimony helped acquit Andrea Yates.The conversation runs the guilt camp's claims through the testimony. Planning: Yates planned and was acquitted. Sociopath: the Commonwealth's own testing showed no faking and a pattern of downplaying symptoms, which is backwards for a faker. Staged jump: neck wound, cut wrists, a second-story fall, permanent paralysis, and an ongoing suicide watch at Tewksbury Hospital.Then the rebuttal. Dr. Avram Mack, called by prosecutors, met Clancy in April 2026 and testified she understood the wrongfulness of what she did. Mack also told the jury she said "go to God" to the children. A chaplain testified that on January 31, 2023, the first thing Clancy said to her was that she was glad her children were safe. Resnick said she told him her death would've put the children in a terrible spot.Clancy denies three murder counts on the ground that she wasn't criminally responsible. The jury has heard both sides' doctors. It hasn't heard closings yet.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

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 lo

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

Yes. Lindsay Clancy had a telehealth session with her psychiatrist on January 23, 2023, and killed her three children on January 24. On Hidden Killers Live, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer brings the guilt argument in the Lindsay Clancy trial, and Tony Brueski brings the record.The defense rested August 21, 2026, on Dr. Phillip Resnick, the forensic psychiatrist from the Andrea Yates acquittal. He testified Clancy was psychotic and obeying a command voice. Prosecutors answered the same day with Dr. Avram Mack, who interviewed her in April 2026 and said she knew her actions were wrong.Six questions, six arguments for guilt, each one run against a fact. Everyone agrees she was sick, so how sick is sick enough? Yates planned and was acquitted, so why does planning convict Clancy? A sociopath faking insanity exaggerates, and the Commonwealth's testing showed Clancy minimized, so where's the faker? The paper trail runs through four providers and a McLean Hospital admission, so how is that no paper trail?The staged-jump theory meets a nurse in a house full of medication who chose a neck wound, cut wrists, and a second-story window, and is now paralyzed and still on suicide watch at Tewksbury. The consciousness-of-guilt theory meets three people who heard the same thing from her. "Go to God" during the killings, according to Mack. "Glad they're safe" to a chaplain a week later. Months after that, she told Resnick dying would've left the kids worse off without her.Clancy's plea is not guilty, built on lack of criminal responsibility, while prosecutors allege a planned killing and a faked suicide attempt.
