Podcasts about Massachusetts

This week Mike welcomes to the podcast comedian, and fellow Massachusetts native, Joe List. Joe talks about what it's like to be married to and raise a chid with another working comedian, Sarah Tollemache, and Joe tells a story about how he worked through a panic attack moments before doing stand-up on Conan. Mike and Joe also discuss Joe's documentary feature that he directed about a comic who dropped out of traditional show business to run a comedy club in Key West, Florida. Plus, they work out new jokes about the military history of M&Ms, strange childhood memories, and the worst thing you could say to a child.

Welcome back to The Majority Report On today's program: Donald Trump's plan gives the Pentagon a 35% stake in Venezuela's 65-billion-barrel oil fields. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has nothing to offer Americans suffering from Trump's trade war with Canada but blustering bravado. Michigan Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, Mike Rogers, comes out in favor of Trump's tariffs. Fox Business reports on Michigan bearing the biggest burden from Trump's tariffs, costing the average household over $5k annually. Michigan Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate, Abdul El-Sayed responds to reporters who are only interested in asking him about Hasan Piker. Angie Nixon, State Representative of Florida's 13th District and Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate joins for a conversation about her campaign and platform. The Massachusetts primary is tomorrow; make sure you get out and vote for Ed Markey. In the Fun Half: Laura Loomer is taking credit for getting Milo Yiannopoulos deported. Tim Miller asks Neera Tanden why she is spending all of her time tweeting about Hasan Piker and Abdul El-Sayed when we are at the general election stage with very high-stakes. The PBD crew's Adam Sosnick and Bryan Callen suggest that Abdul El-Sayed is a closeted conservative by pointing to his "support for Sharia Law" - which of course is fabricated by dummies like this. Laura Loomer goes on racist rant against elected black women. An active-duty Marine Corps Colonel speaks out against the deportation of an Afghan whose family helped U.S. forces in Afghanistan. A loser who works for Laura Loomer's podcast tries a gotcha question on Rep. Summer Lee over her friendship with Hasan Piker only to be reduced to a whining mess when Lee comes back at him over his boss' racist comments towards black women. All that and more.

OA1292 - Jenessa takes us through the Supreme Court's 6-3 shadow docket ruling in Trump v. California, which lifted a preliminary injunction blocking Trump's executive order directing the U.S. Postal Service to gatekeep mail-in ballot delivery before the midterms. Is this a procedural technicality or a five-alarm fire for November? And what does it mean that the Postal Service published its final rule on a Friday night, in apparent violation of an injunction, right before the Court's Monday ruling? Jenessa walks through the chaotic docket, Judge Talwani's genius pivot, and why Justice Jackson's 20-page solo dissent might be the most important thing you read this election season. Cases discussed: Trump v. California (Supreme Court shadow docket, 8/25/2026) League of Women Voters of Massachusetts v. Trump, D. Mass. DSCC v. Trump, D.D.C. State of California v.

In this new episode, Crawlspace Media's Tim Pilleri and Lance Reenstierna speak with Billie-Sue Hutchins about the disappearance of her cousin, Billie-Sue Hutchins from Woburn, Massachusetts on October 27th, 1989. Fourteen-year-old Melanie Melanson mysteriously vanished after attending a woodland party with friends in her hometown of Woburn, Massachusetts. Despite extensive searches, investigative leads, and ongoing pushes by her family and law enforcement over the decades, her disappearance remains an open and unsolved cold case.

The jurors in the Lindsay Clancy trial will begin day three of deliberations as they weigh competing medical diagnoses, along with any of their own personal experiences with parenting, motherhood and mental illness. Legal experts say it’s likely an emotional and overwhelming task for jurors, as they determine whether or not mental illness prevented the Massachusetts mom from knowing right from wrong as she strangled her three young children. Meantime, there was an interesting development outside of the courtroom: Dr. Avram Mack resigned from his position at a Delaware children’s hospital immediately after wrapping up his highly contentious testimony where he said Clancy was not suffering from postpartum psychosis. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As we continue to await official word from the Lindsay Clancy jury, conspiracy theorists online are creating their own headlines. At issue, two jurors reportedly walked into court today wearing pink, and folks online are claiming that means those jurors are signaling their support for the Massachusetts mom, after hundreds of women showed up in pink outside the courthouse last week in defense of Lindsay Clancy and women’s mental health issues. The chatter online has grown so loud, that some people are demanding a mistrial. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Three days. Seventeen hours. Twelve jurors, five possible verdicts, and a door nobody can see behind.Day three of deliberations in the Lindsay Clancy trial ended Monday afternoon with no verdict and instructions to come back Tuesday. Robin breaks down where the case actually stands...the criminal responsibility standard, what "not guilty" would really mean here, and why the jury's request for the pill bottles and the knife tells you they're doing the work.Then the sidewalk: the pink shirts, the twenty-five-plus Etsy designs, the defense attorney fan merchandise, the free coffee at a verdict watch, and the fact that somebody bought the Duxbury house.Plus a viral post arguing that a not-guilty verdict from a nine-woman jury is grounds for repealing the Nineteenth Amendment, and the math problem that argument doesn't survive.And in Philadelphia in the House of Horrors case...fifty hard drives, five urns, four missing women, no bodies, and what investigators say they found on one of those drives this week, which is something Western media very much claims doesn't exist as a theory. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-unfiltered-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilRobin's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/robin_wstdTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.TikTok: tiktok.com/@wesawthedevilpolitics

With just over 60 days until the midterms, Donald Trump is still trying to weaponize the U.S. Postal Service against mail-in voters. Democracy Docket founder Marc Elias breaks down the legal fight playing out in federal courts in Massachusetts and Washington, D.C., including a temporary restraining order that's now being appealed. He also reads directly from the Department of Justice's own court filings, in which lawyers compare mail-in ballots to overweight packages, cremated remains and fake bombs to justify blocking them.

The Lindsay Clancy jury is now in its third day of deliberations with still no verdict in the Massachusetts murder trial. Jurors are weighing weeks of testimony and hundreds of exhibits as they decide whether Clancy was criminally responsible for killing her three children. Meanwhile, defense attorney Kevin Reddington is speaking out as the tension outside the courthouse continues to grow. We break down the latest developments, what the jury has asked to review, and what could happen next. #LindsayClancy, #LindsayClancyTrial, #VerdictWatch, #TrueCrime, #CourtNews, #CrimeTalk

Catch up to your money. It’s often ready for retirement before you are. _________________________ What helps wellbeing endure as our lives change? Matt Bloom has spent much of his career studying human flourishing. In this conversation, he brings his insights into retirement and combines it with lessons from his own transition from professor to writer, volunteer and what he calls a “wise elder.” We discuss why wellbeing is built through small daily practices, how adopting a new identity can change your behavior, why many need to become more intentional about friendship after leaving work, and how volunteering and shared-interest communities can create both connection and meaning. Matt also explains how older adults can become “guardians and shepherds” of relationships and shares Map Your Days, a simple practice that takes five minutes a night and that, in 27 years of teaching MBAs and executives, he says has never failed to teach someone something they didn’t know about their own life. Matt Bloom joins us from Colorado. ________________________ Bio Matt Bloom is the author of Lasting Wellbeing: Science-Based Practices for Tranquility, Authenticity, Meaning, and Joy. He is a writer, speaker, entrepreneur, and emeritus professor of management at the University of Notre Dame. Bloom holds advanced degrees in psychology from Cornell University (PhD) and the University of Kansas (MA), and is an award-winning teacher who earned top honors for courses he taught to undergraduates, MBA students, and corporate executives. At Notre Dame, Matt taught classes on innovation and design thinking, organizational change and leadership. As a professor in the Mendoza College of Business, Matt studied well-being for nearly three decades where he led the WorkWell research project. Initially, he and his team of ten researchers  focused on the well-being of people in the helping and healing professions: international aid workers, global health professionals, educators, clergy and ministry workers, physicians, and other healthcare professionals, among others. He later broadened his focus to include both well-being at work and in life more generally.  The team also launched a first-of-its-kind mobile application to capture daily experiences from several hundred research subjects. Prior to becoming a professor, Matt was a financial advisor at Shearson Lehman Hutton, a consultant at Arthur Young, a psychiatric orderly at The Kansas Institute, and a paramedic for the Douglas County (KS) Emergency Medical Service. Some of Matt’s favorite wise well-being practices: Extended backcountry hiking (5+ days).

What if the career you trained for didn't have to feel like a countdown to retirement? Today's guest turned professional dissatisfaction and a family health scare into the motivation she needed to build a private practice that truly serves her life, not the other way around. I'm so excited to share her story with you!I'm introducing you to Bianca Gizzi Fusco, a certified Speech-Language Pathologist and the founder of BG Speech Therapy, a private practice serving families in Woburn, Massachusetts.Bianca's path to speech-language pathology wasn't a straight line. She actually started out wanting to be a teacher but quickly realized she didn't enjoy the large groups and the rigid, over-planned structure of the classroom. While working as a paraprofessional in a preschool during graduate school where she was studying to become a reading specialist she discovered something she'd never even heard of before: speech therapy. It piqued her interest immediately, seeming to combine so many of her passions. So she took the necessary prerequisite classes, applied to grad school for speech, and never looked back.After earning her degree, Bianca started working in a middle school, the very one she attended as a child. She liked it at first, but she never loved it. And as the years went on, she became increasingly unhappy. She started questioning whether she was even good at her job, and whether she had chosen the right profession at all.One thing she noticed in the public schools haunted her: the constant question from colleagues, "How many years do you have left?" always referring to retirement. That question, she says, was deeply depressing. She knew she didn't want the best part of her career to be the end of it.Then came the turning point. During COVID, Bianca's father was hospitalized for a month and nearly didn't make it. She took time off work to help her mom run their family business while her dad was ill. That year, watching her family navigate a crisis, she had a reckoning: Life is too precious to have my career be a countdown to the end of it. With the support of her husband and parents who encouraged her with "Just take the course, what's the worst that can happen?" She signed up for the Start Your Private Practice course and never looked back.Today, Bianca runs a thriving clinic with a physical location specializing in working with young children, focusing on speech sound disorders, Gestalt language processors, early language development, and stuttering, a manageable caseload, and a schedule that prioritizes time with her two young sons. She sees clients back-to-back on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays and Saturday mornings. She's at capacity not because she has to be, but because she chooses to be. And right now, that feels exactly right.Bianca's story is proof that private practice doesn't have to look like a big, multi-disciplinary clinic with a long waitlist and a full staff unless that's what you want. For her, success looks like flexibility, balance, and the ability to say "not right now" to hiring, while still building a profitable and fulfilling practice.In Today's Episode, We Discuss:How to start small and use a stepwise approach to build your caseload without quitting your day jobWhy your idea of "success" in private practice can and should change with the seasons of your lifeHow to use a cancellation list to fill your schedule without needing to hire staffBianca is living proof that you don't have to be a Type-A and don't have to be a brick and mortar owner to succeed in private practice. She calls herself a Type B+ SLP somewhere in between and that's exactly what works for her. Her favorite part of private practice? It swings with where she is in life. And that's something no pension can buy.Her story does not have to be the exception. You, too, can build the private practice of your dreams, whether that means a full clinic, a part-time side business, or something in between.If you're ready to stop waiting and start building a practice that's truly aligned with your goals, Private Practice School is here to help. We start with a Personalized Private Practice Plan and then give you the tools, such as the Life First calendar and our Numbers Made Simple Calculators, and me in your corner every week, whether you're opening the doors or growing what you've already built.Please visit www.PrivatePracticeSchool.com to learn more, and follow me on Instagram @independentclinician for more tips, inspiration, and resources to support your private practice journey.Resources Mentioned:Follow Bianca onInstagram: instagram.com/bgspeechtherapy/ Facebook: BG Speech Therapy LLCCheck out her website: www.bgspeechtherapy.comWhere We Can Connect:Follow the Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/private-practice-success-stories/id1374716199Follow Me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/independentclinician/Follow Me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jena.castrocasbon/

Three-time Grammy Award winner Fantastic Negrito joins Andy to talk about moving from western Massachusetts to Oakland, letting the next album happen, and farming. Intro music is "String Anticipation" by Cory Gray.

Attorney Mark Geragos and Los Angeles Magazine reporters Lauren Conlin and Taylor Parise discuss the cases they've been covering from inside the courtroom: the Lindsay Clancy triple-murder trial in Massachusetts and Lil Durk's federal murder-for-hire trial in Los Angeles. Conlin has been reporting from the Clancy trial for L.A. Mag, while Parise has been covering the Durk proceedings for L.A.

On Friday morning, twelve people in Plymouth, Massachusetts asked to see two things: a bag of prescription pill bottles and the knife Lindsay Clancy used on herself. That request is the entire factual content of the biggest news day in this trial since closing arguments, and within hours it had been publicly interpreted as a conviction, an acquittal, a hung jury, and a verdict coming Monday before lunch.This episode walks Friday minute by minute, then does the thing this show exists to do: separates what happened from what people needed it to mean.Also covered: the prosecution's rebuttal psychiatrist, Dr. Avram Mack, resigned from Nemours Children's Health on the same day he finished testifying, and Nemours will not say why. What that fact does and does not establish. The full evidentiary record the jury is working through, including why the central dispute is not whether Clancy was mentally ill. The five verdict options and what an insanity finding actually means in Massachusetts, which is not what the internet says it means. The sidewalk outside the courthouse, where pink t-shirts and handwritten signs reading "1st Degree MURDER" sat on benches thirty feet apart.And a Reality Check on why women are responding to this case the way they are, built on a fact most of the coverage has missed entirely: postpartum psychosis, the condition at the center of this five week trial, is not in the DSM.Recorded Sunday afternoon. The jury returns Monday at 9 a.m. Eastern. Nothing in this episode assumes a verdict.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-unfiltered-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilRobin's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/robin_wstdTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.TikTok: tiktok.com/@wesawthedevilpolitics

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?

This week, we're diving further in to the Lindsay Clancy case as jury deliberations begin. She is a Massachusetts mother who is on trial for killing her three children, and the case has opened up a national conversation about postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis. We'll hear a listener who called in to an Audacy station about his own experience with postpartum disorders. Hosts will also share their experiences, and draw connections to past cases. We'll also hear about a bizarre development inside the courtroom this week. Featuring audio from the Adam and Jordana Show out of WCCO News Talk in the Twin Cities, the Marc Cox Morning Show out of KFTK in St. Louis, Scoot out of WWL in New Orleans and the Dana & Parks Show out of KMBZ in Kansas City.

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?

In this episode, we break down the exact choices the jury has in the Lindsay Clancy case under Massachusetts law and invite you to cast your own vote on whether she understood that killing her children was wrong. The links to do this are coming up. This conversation separates emotion from evidence, explores the theory of altruistic filicide, and examines the behavioral sequence of the murders and suicide attempt. You can then participate in a 2-question, survey that feeds a global opinion map that shows how people around the world are thinking about the only legal question that matters.

It's already the 99th installment of True Crime New England's case profile mini-episode series… can you believe it? This week, Katie starts off the episode by talking about the unsolved murder of 21-year-old Christine Tortoro from August of 1988 in Hartford, Connecticut, who was found in a body of water in a park. Then, Liz talks about the brutal murder of 16-year-old Sidney Krow Jr., who was shot in Worcester, Massachusetts on May 26th, 2016. His case also remains unsolved. Anyone with any information on the murder of Christine Tortoro is asked to please call the Connect Unsolved Crimes Task Force at1-866-623-8058 or send an email to cold.case@ct.gov. If you or anyone you know has any information on the murder of Sidney Krow Jr., please contact the Worcester Police Department at 508) 799-8466.

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?

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?

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?

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?

The jury in the Lindsay Clancy triple murder trial continues deliberating today, after spending 3 and a half hours on Thursday. After 21 days of testimony and 85 witnesses, the 12 jurors will have five potential verdicts to consider, including manslaughter, that could leave the Massachusetts mom who admitted to killing her three young children in prison for the rest of her life, committed to a mental institution, or free from punishment entirely. Her defense attorney, Kevin Reddington, acknowledged his polarizing personality answering a series of questions from reporters as he left the courthouse, saying he has no idea what the jury is going to decide.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Patrick takes listener questions on everything from cremation and relics to the practicalities of annulments and maintaining gratitude within parish life, all while weaving in scriptural roots and clear, approachable Catholic teaching. He answers with straightforward advice for handling marriage complexities, faith discussions with non-Catholic family, and screening media for kids, offering his own reflections as a practicing Catholic. Plentiful encouragement and real-life examples flow throughout, with the conversation shifting swiftly from doctrine to day-to-day encouragement and resources. William (email) - Would the Church have a mass for the deceased if they knew the ashes we not going to be interned but spread out somewhere? (00:59) Jim (email) - As a resident of Massachusetts and a member of Massachusetts Citizens for Life I want to thank you for standing up for the unborn, especially in light of the recent legislation passed in the Commonwealth. Thank you for speaking so clearly and directly about the barbaric and unthinkable act of ending the life of a fully developed unborn baby. You courageously shed light on the gravity and magnitude these actions have on those perpetrating them including Governor Healey. I pray she listens to your show, but wouldn't count on it. Maybe one day! (02:30) Angela (email) - Listener responses unfairly implied the woman wanted recognition for her generous gift rather than a simple thank-you for an act of kindness, a courtesy priests should model and that I, too, have been denied. Miriam (email) - 1. I believe you've previously said that there will be food in heaven. But will we get hungry? I assume we won't, but if we don't, will the food taste as good to us as it would if we were ravenous? 2. Christ was a Jew. But at any point in time did He become a Christian? And if so, when? And if not, why not? Rodney - What Scripture supports spreading saints body parts around as relics? (11:46) Antoinette - They are building a Mormon Church adjacent to my backyard. Can I put a Relevant Radio banner on my fence. Would this be a good idea? (19:37) Margie - I was married in the Church, got divorced and did not get an annulment. My second husband passed. Priest said I didn't need annulment. Is this true? (23:50) Tom - My wife was married outside of the Church. Do we need an annulment? (26:52) Kevin (email) – What is a good resource for screening kids’ books through a Catholic lens? (38:23) Molly - Can we pray the Rosary and make our own mysteries up? Is that a sin?

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?

If this jury convicts Lindsay Clancy of first-degree murder, the sentence writes itself — life in prison, no parole, no discussion. But what that sentence means in practice for a paralyzed woman who has been living in a hospital on suicide watch for over three years is a question nobody in the courtroom addresses at sentencing.Eric Faddis, a defense attorney and former prosecutor, answers it. Clancy would leave Tewksbury Hospital and enter the Massachusetts corrections system. The prison system would have to accommodate her physical condition — paraplegia requiring around-the-clock medical care — while also managing her psychiatric needs. In a treatment facility, the institution is built around care. In prison, care exists within a structure built around confinement. Faddis explains what Reddington can fight for inside that system — placement, conditions, mental health access — and how long the attorney-client relationship extends after a life sentence.Every first-degree murder conviction in Massachusetts is automatically appealed to the Supreme Judicial Court. Reddington does not need to file — the case goes up by operation of law. The SJC reviews the trial record, which includes the psychiatric testimony from both sides, the medical records, and the jury instructions on criminal responsibility. Faddis walks through what that review examines and whether the mental health evidence the jury rejected can come back in a different form.This jury can also convict on second-degree murder — life with parole eligibility. How twelve people reach that conclusion on facts where the killing is undisputed comes down to how much weight they give the mental health evidence without fully buying the insanity defense.Two exits exist from a first-degree sentence — appeal and commutation. Both are steep roads.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In most states, the defense has to prove insanity. In Massachusetts, the prosecution has to prove sanity. That distinction is at the center of the Lindsay Clancy trial as closing arguments approach Thursday, and it changes how everything this jury heard over 21 days of testimony gets weighed in that deliberation room.Eric Faddis, a defense attorney and former prosecutor, explains the standard the Commonwealth must meet. Under the McHoul test, prosecutors have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Clancy could appreciate the wrongfulness of strangling Cora, Dawson, and Callan and that she could have conformed her conduct to the law. Two parts. Both required. Failing on either means Clancy is not criminally responsible.The prosecution called Dr. Avram Mack as a rebuttal witness. He told the jury Clancy had a severe depressive episode. He would not call it psychosis. The defense called experts who did. The legal standard does not pick sides on the diagnosis — it asks whether a mental disease or defect deprived her of the substantial capacity to understand or control what she was doing.Faddis walks through the human side of deliberation — how holdouts operate, how twelve people with no psychiatric training evaluate dueling expert testimony, and what happens when a jury tells the judge they are deadlocked. In the Karen Read case, five days of deliberation and a Tuey-Rodriguez instruction could not break the impasse. The judge declared a mistrial.This jury must reach a unanimous verdict. That process starts after closing arguments.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?

Most people following the Lindsay Clancy trial assume the defense has to prove she was insane. Massachusetts law says the opposite. Once the defense raises mental illness, the prosecution has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Clancy was criminally responsible when she strangled Cora, Dawson, and Callan on January 24, 2023. That burden does not shift back.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis walks through the legal standard this jury was handed and why it matters. The McHoul test requires the Commonwealth to prove two things — that Clancy could appreciate the wrongfulness of her actions and that she could conform her conduct to the law. Fail on either, and she is not criminally responsible. The standard says mental disease or defect. It does not require a diagnosis of psychosis.Dr. Avram Mack, the prosecution's own rebuttal psychiatrist, told this jury Clancy had a severe depressive episode. He stopped short of psychosis. The legal question is whether that distinction matters under a test that never uses the word.Faddis also covers the mechanics of deliberation — how jurors choose a foreperson, how holdouts shape the conversation, and how long a judge allows a deadlocked jury to continue before stepping in. The Tuey-Rodriguez instruction is a last-resort tool Massachusetts judges use to push past an impasse. In the Karen Read case, it did not work.This jury heard from 84 witnesses across 21 days of testimony. What they do with it begins after closing arguments Thursday.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy has been at Tewksbury Hospital for over three years. She is paralyzed from the waist down. She has been on 24-hour suicide watch since January 2023. If this jury convicts her of first-degree murder, she leaves that facility and enters the Massachusetts corrections system. The sentence is mandatory — life without parole.Eric Faddis breaks down what that transition looks like. The prison system must accommodate Clancy's physical condition — around-the-clock medical care for a paraplegic inmate — on top of her psychiatric needs. In a treatment facility, she is a patient. In prison, she is an inmate who happens to need care. The institutional mission changes, and with it the daily structure, the staffing, and the access to mental health treatment.Faddis covers what Reddington can do for Clancy once she is inside the system. Advocacy for an incarcerated client includes fighting for placement, conditions of confinement, medical care, and mental health treatment access. The attorney-client relationship does not end with the verdict.Every first-degree murder conviction in Massachusetts triggers an automatic appeal to the Supreme Judicial Court. The trial record — including all of the mental health testimony the jury heard — goes up for review. Faddis explains what the SJC looks for and whether the rejected insanity defense evidence has any life on appeal.The verdict slip gives this jury a second option. Second-degree murder carries a life sentence with parole eligibility after 15 years. How a jury reaches that verdict when the act itself is undisputed depends on how they weigh the mental health evidence without fully accepting the insanity defense.First-degree life without parole has two exits — commutation by the governor or a successful appeal. Both are rare.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
