The final hours before Ashley Flynn's death left jurors with a trail of messages, promises, ChatGPT screenshots, and deleted communications. Alleigha Botner testified that Caleb Flynn was telling her February 16, 2026 would be the day he finally acted.Botner said she believed he meant divorce. According to her testimony, Flynn described a Monday-morning plan that included talking to Ashley, their daughters and Ashley's parents, asking about a job, booking a hotel, and moving out. She also told jurors that on February 15 she used ChatGPT for information about divorce, proof of an affair, and deleting messages, then sent Flynn screenshots. Their communications continued into the early hours of February 16.Ashley Flynn was found dead hours later. Flynn reported an intruder, but prosecutors allege he killed Ashley and staged the home to support that account. Flynn has pleaded not guilty. Botner testified that after learning Ashley was dead, she asked Flynn whether he was involved and later deleted the messages because she feared their affair would be uncovered. She also acknowledged initially hiding the affair from the FBI.Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to examine how jurors may be instructed to handle this kind of evidence. The state is using timing and communications in its premeditation case. The defense has room to argue that Botner herself understood Flynn's final-night promises as plans to end his marriage, not plans to kill his wife.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Bryan Kohberger's own defense team raised a concern about their client with the judge weeks before he pleaded guilty to four murders, and that filing is now public. The sealed May 20, 2025 memo, unsealed on September 22, 2026, shows Anne Taylor's team asked for more time to investigate Kohberger himself, not just the evidence. They also wanted expert assistance communicating with him about how the case could end. Judge Steven Hippler said no on June 26, 2025, and Kohberger pleaded guilty on July 2. His new lawyer, Greg Rauch, argues Hippler knew about the problem and took the plea anyway, and he's seeking Hippler's removal and a path to withdraw the plea. The state points to the moment Kohberger told the court he was pleading freely. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis explains how prosecutors defend a plea against a memo written by the defendant's own lawyers.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hours before Ashley Flynn was found dead, Caleb Flynn was telling Alleigha Botner that February 16 would be a day she would never forget. Botner testified that she believed the promised action was a divorce.The Caleb Flynn trial has now put that explanation beside the rest of their final-night communications. Botner said Flynn laid out a plan to leave Ashley: speak with family, talk to his daughters, ask about work, get a hotel, and move out. She also testified that she was using ChatGPT that evening for information about divorce, proof of an affair, and deleting messages, and that she sent Flynn screenshots. Their messages continued after midnight.By morning, Ashley Flynn was dead. Flynn reported that an intruder had entered their Tipp City home. Prosecutors allege Flynn killed Ashley and staged the scene; he has pleaded not guilty. Botner told jurors the timing immediately struck her as too much of a coincidence. She asked Flynn whether he was involved, then deleted those messages because she feared the affair would be discovered. She also admitted she initially concealed the relationship from the FBI.Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to examine the legal fight inside those facts. The prosecution can ask jurors to view the messages as part of a plan. The defense can point to Botner's own stated understanding that Flynn meant divorce and challenge what her deletions and initial lie do to her credibility.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Bryan Kohberger studied criminology at the doctoral level, and his own defense team told a judge they needed outside help getting through to him. That's in a sealed May 2025 filing, unsealed on September 22, 2026, that his new attorney, Greg Rauch, is using to challenge the guilty plea. Anne Taylor's team wrote that Kohberger was having difficulty comprehending adverse rulings and fitting them into a rational assessment of his case. In the same filing, they expressly denied he was incompetent. Judge Steven Hippler refused to delay the case on June 26, 2025, and Kohberger pleaded guilty six days later to killing four University of Idaho students. Rauch argues the judge knew all of this before accepting the plea. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis explains how a lawyer can say a client can't follow his own case and still isn't incompetent, and why that line matters for the plea.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Bryan Kohberger's guilty plea in the Idaho student murders looked final in July 2025. A memo unsealed on September 22, 2026 has his new lawyer arguing otherwise. The sealed May 20, 2025 filing from his original team, led by Anne Taylor, told Judge Steven Hippler that Kohberger was having trouble processing the rulings going against him and weighing his options, including whether to take a deal. The same lawyers stated that they were not claiming he was incompetent. Hippler denied their request for more time on June 26, 2025. Kohberger pleaded guilty on July 2. Greg Rauch now calls that six-day gap a central issue, and a hearing on his motion to remove Hippler is set for October 15, 2026. Prosecutors are leaning on the plea transcript, where Kohberger said he understood. Eric Faddis, defense attorney and former prosecutor, tells me whether a former criminology PhD student can argue he didn't understand.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Alleigha Botner testified that she was using ChatGPT on February 15, 2026 while Caleb Flynn was promising that the next day would finally bring action. What she searched, what she sent him, and what she later deleted now sit inside one of the most contested stretches of the Caleb Flynn trial.Botner said Flynn told her he would leave Ashley on February 16. She testified that she understood phrases including 'actions will come tomorrow' and 'tomorrow's a big day' as references to divorce. That evening, she said, she sent Flynn ChatGPT screenshots involving divorce proceedings, proof of an affair, and deleting messages. Flynn also described steps he planned to take with family, his daughters, work, a hotel, and moving out.Hours later, Ashley Flynn was found dead in the family home. Flynn told police an intruder was responsible. Prosecutors allege Flynn killed Ashley and staged the scene, while Flynn has pleaded not guilty.

The sealed memo in the Bryan Kohberger case is out, and it shows what his defense team told Judge Steven Hippler six weeks before the guilty plea. On May 20, 2025, Anne Taylor's team wrote that Kohberger was struggling to rationally understand the rulings in his case and fold them into an assessment of where it was headed. They asked for time to get expert assistance communicating with him about how the case could end, and they expressly denied he was incompetent. Hippler denied the continuance on June 26, 2025. On July 2, Kohberger pleaded guilty to the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. Greg Rauch filed the memo with his August 27, 2026 motion to disqualify Hippler, arguing the judge knew before accepting the plea. Kohberger's petition claims threats and unkept promises from his own lawyers. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins me on whether any of it gets him out of his plea.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Caleb Flynn trial and the Bryan Kohberger plea fight both turn on what someone put in writing, and Eric Faddis, a defense attorney and former prosecutor, takes me through both. Alleigha Botner, who testified she had an affair with Flynn, told an Ohio jury he called Ashley Flynn names like "spawn of Satan" and said he'd kill her if he could avoid jail. She read a March 2025 exchange that ended in a two-word answer. She testified that on February 15, 2026, he promised to protect her at all costs, and that she sent him ChatGPT instructions on deleting their messages from his phone. Ashley was shot the next morning. Flynn says an intruder did it and has pleaded not guilty. Out of Idaho, an unsealed filing shows Anne Taylor's team sought expert help communicating with Kohberger in May 2025, while denying he was incompetent. Greg Rauch argues the plea should never have been accepted.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

I sat down with Eric Faddis, defense attorney and former prosecutor, on two cases. The first is the Caleb Flynn murder trial in Miami County, Ohio. Alleigha Botner, a prosecution witness and Flynn's former girlfriend, told jurors Flynn said at least once a month that he wanted his wife dead. She testified she gave him a last deadline on January 11, 2026, told him on Valentine's Day she had a date in March, and heard him lay out a Monday divorce plan. Ashley Flynn was shot twice in the head early on February 16. Botner admitted she deleted the text she sent Flynn that morning asking if he was involved. Flynn has pleaded not guilty. The second is Bryan Kohberger. His original lawyers told Judge Steven Hippler in a sealed May 2025 filing that he had difficulty comprehending adverse rulings, and he pleaded guilty six days after Hippler denied a delay. Faddis explains what each fight means for a jury and a judge.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Eric Faddis and I take on two questions: did Caleb Flynn mean it, and did Bryan Kohberger understand what he signed? In the Flynn trial, Alleigha Botner testified that he told her he'd been up late thinking about ways to kill his wife, Ashley. She read the jury the text where she asked, "What can I do?" She said his final messages on February 15, 2026 ended with "tomorrow's a big day." Ashley was shot twice in the head hours later, and Flynn, who has pleaded not guilty, blamed an intruder. Botner admitted lying to the FBI and deleting messages. In Idaho, an unsealed memo shows Kohberger's defense wanted time and an expert to help communicate with him weeks before his July 2025 guilty plea. His new lawyer, Greg Rauch, is using it to try to remove the judge and withdraw the plea. Faddis gives his read on both.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Alleigha Botner told jurors in the Caleb Flynn murder trial what Flynn promised her in the last hours before his wife was killed. She testified that on February 14, 2026, after a Saturday church service, Flynn told her he'd already informed Ashley he was divorcing her. Botner said she answered that she didn't believe him, because he'd said it too many times. She also warned him, she testified, that she might never want to be with him again, and he cried. By Sunday night she was reading his promises on her phone, and she read them to the jury. Botner admitted her own worry that weekend was losing her job if the affair came out. Ashley Flynn was shot in the family's Tipp City home early on February 16. Flynn is charged with aggravated murder and has pleaded not guilty. Eric Faddis, a defense attorney and former prosecutor, helps me separate what that weekend proves from what it only suggests.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Alleigha Botner testified in the Caleb Flynn murder trial that she spent part of the evening of February 15, 2026 asking ChatGPT questions and sending Flynn the answers. She told jurors she was afraid a divorce would bring out the messages Ashley had already seen, and that investigators might search Flynn's phone. She said she also asked him about their Venmo transactions. By early the next morning, Ashley Flynn had been shot. Botner, a former intern at Flynn's church who testified she had an affair with him, admitted she later lied to the FBI about the relationship. On the stand, she said she now hates Flynn because she believes he murdered his wife. Flynn, a former American Idol contestant, has pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder and told police an intruder broke in.

What Caleb Flynn called his wife behind her back is now evidence in his Ohio murder trial. Alleigha Botner, who testified she had an affair with Flynn, told jurors that when they first met he said Ashley wasn't worthy of her own first name. The prosecutor had her say every replacement name out loud from the witness stand. Then he asked what Botner herself called Ashley, and she admitted she used most of the same ones. Flynn, a former American Idol contestant, is on trial for aggravated murder in Ashley Flynn's shooting death at their Tipp City home, and he has pleaded not guilty. Botner also testified Flynn told her he'd kill Ashley if he could avoid jail. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis explains why the state wants a jury to hear that cruelty, and why the defense might want jurors to hear who else said it.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In the Caleb Flynn murder trial, prosecutors are building motive out of what the former American Idol singer typed to the woman he was seeing. Alleigha Botner took the stand for the state and read a March 2025 exchange with Flynn, message number by message number. He told her he'd been crying. She wrote back, "What can I do?" His answer was two words long. Botner testified that Flynn said early on that Ashley wasn't worthy of being called by her first name, and that he talked about wanting his wife dead about once a month. Ashley Flynn was shot twice in the head in her bed in February 2026. Flynn says someone broke in, and he has pleaded not guilty. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down how a text thread becomes motive in front of a jury, and how the defense argues a man who talks big isn't the man who pulled the trigger.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

On the last night of Ashley Flynn's life, her husband was messaging another woman until after midnight. That's what Alleigha Botner told the jury in the Caleb Flynn murder trial, testifying for the prosecution. She said Flynn promised her "actions will come tomorrow." She said his last message before bed was that tomorrow was a big day and he had to get some sleep. Botner told the jury she read all of it as a divorce announcement. By morning, Ashley had been shot twice in the head, and Flynn was telling police someone had broken into their Tipp City home. He has pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down how prosecutors will frame those messages, and how the defense argues that a man about to ask for a divorce would sound exactly the same.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Alleigha Botner told the jury in the Caleb Flynn trial what she was doing on her phone the night before Ashley Flynn was killed, and who she was sending it to. The former church intern testified for the prosecution that she was worried the affair would come out in a divorce and cost her her job. So, she said, she went to ChatGPT. Botner also testified she hid the relationship from the FBI when agents first questioned her, and an agent told jurors she was far more truthful in a second interview. The morning Ashley died, Botner said a church member messaged her the news, and her gut told her it was too much of a coincidence. Flynn is charged with aggravated murder and has pleaded not guilty. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis explains why prosecutors would build a case on a witness with this much baggage, and how the defense cross-examines her.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Eric Faddis and I go through the final weekend before Ashley Flynn was killed, as Caleb Flynn's former girlfriend described it under oath. Alleigha Botner testified she cut Flynn off after he blew her last deadline on January 11, 2026. On February 14, she told him she had a date in March. Two days later, Ashley was dead. Botner said that Sunday night Flynn told her he'd protect her "at all costs" and called February 16 "a day I'll never forget." She told the jury she asked for that protection because she didn't want to lose her job. Flynn, who is charged with aggravated murder, has pleaded not guilty and told police an intruder shot his wife. Faddis explains whether a jury can call that weekend a motive, and what the defense does with a witness who says all she heard was divorce.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Eric Faddis and I dig into what Alleigha Botner knew, and what she did, in the Caleb Flynn case. Flynn's former girlfriend told jurors that on the eve of Ashley Flynn's shooting, she was sending him material about his phone. Her fear, she said, was that a messy divorce would expose their texts and cost her her job. The next morning, she testified, she messaged Flynn asking if he was involved in Ashley's death, got no reply, and erased her own message. She also conceded she wasn't honest with FBI agents in her first interview. Asked how she feels about Flynn, she told the jury she hates him and thinks he killed his wife. Flynn denies the aggravated murder charge. Faddis explains how a jury sorts a woman who was lied to from a witness protecting herself.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Eric Faddis has prosecuted and defended cases built on a defendant's own words, and I asked him about the Caleb Flynn murder trial. Alleigha Botner testified for the state that Flynn first talked about wanting his wife Ashley to die after the couple's August 2025 anniversary cruise. She said the talk kept coming, at least once a month, and that it got worse each time. First, by her account, he wanted Ashley gone. Then he said he'd kill her if he could stay out of jail. Then came one late night she described to the jury in detail. Ashley Flynn was shot twice in the head while she slept on February 16, 2026, and Flynn told police an intruder did it. He has pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder. Faddis explains what jurors can actually do with a man's words, and how the defense turns Botner's own words against her.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

JP Miller's federal cyberstalking case has three fights happening at once. The alleged helpers who are scattering. The defense team building a counter-narrative for October. And the Department of Justice preparing to dismantle all of it in front of a jury. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis takes on each one.Miller was indicted in December 2025 — one count of cyberstalking, one count of making false statements. Prosecutors allege he harassed Mica Miller from November 2022 through her death in April 2024 using tracking devices, over fifty daily contacts, a hired PI, tire damage, financial interference, and an intimate image posted without consent. He allegedly told agents the PI was to protect Mica from purchasing firearms. The government says that was a lie. Miller has pleaded not guilty and denies the allegations. He is not charged in Mica's death, which was ruled a suicide. She was thirty and had filed for divorce two days before. He faces up to seven years. Trial is October 2026.The enablers carry exposure the alleged orchestrator may have avoided — South Carolina's lack of a coercive control law limits state options, but the physical acts leave trails. The defense must convince twelve jurors that GPS trackers equal concern, not control, and must defend a statement to the FBI the government calls a lie. The prosecution has the evidence but needs the jury to feel the weight of living under alleged surveillance for two years — and the open question is whether these charges end the investigation or begin a larger one.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Every side of JP Miller's federal case gets examined in this three-part conversation with defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis.Miller was indicted in December 2025 on charges of cyberstalking and making false statements. Prosecutors allege a pattern of harassment against Mica Miller from November 2022 through her death in April 2024 — GPS tracking, a hired PI, fifty-plus daily contacts, financial interference, tire damage, and an intimate image posted without consent. The false statements charge stems from what prosecutors say Miller told agents about the PI. Miller has pleaded not guilty and denies the allegations. He has not been charged in Mica's death. She was thirty and filed for divorce two days before dying. Her death was ruled a suicide. He faces up to seven years. Trial is October 2026.The enablers: court filings describe associates who allegedly did the physical work while Miller stayed off camera. South Carolina has no coercive control law, but the hands-on acts carry separate exposure — and the helpers may face worse than the alleged puppet master. The defense: Miller's team has to reframe GPS trackers and a PI hire as a husband's genuine concern, defend a lie to the FBI, and seat an impartial jury while the Netflix documentary plays in every potential juror's memory. The prosecution: the DOJ has the evidence; the question is whether these charges are the whole fight or the lever that breaks something bigger open.A former prosecutor maps every angle — who has the most to lose, where each side's strategy is strongest, and where it collapses.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Who helped JP Miller? How does his defense team plan to fight? And how does the Department of Justice plan to win? Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony live for a three-part breakdown of the entire federal case.Miller faces charges of cyberstalking and making false statements stemming from alleged harassment of Mica Miller from November 2022 until her death in April 2024. The indictment details tracking devices, daily contacts exceeding fifty, financial interference, a PI contract, tire damage, and an intimate image posted online. When agents asked about the PI, prosecutors say Miller told them it was to prevent Mica from buying firearms. The government says that was a lie. Miller has pleaded not guilty, denies the allegations, and is not charged in Mica's death. She was thirty, filed for divorce two days before dying, and her death was ruled a suicide. He faces up to seven years combined. Trial is October 2026.Segment one covers the alleged enablers — the inner circle who allegedly carried out physical tasks while Miller stayed insulated. They may carry more direct legal risk than he does. Segment two covers the defense strategy — the "concerned husband" reframe, the mental health gambit, the false statements problem, and the jury selection nightmare. Segment three covers the prosecution's playbook — turning data into terror, shutting down victim-blaming, managing the media, and whether these charges are the endpoint or the pressure that cracks someone open.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The DOJ has the receipts. GPS tracking logs, phone records showing fifty-plus contacts in a day, online purchase records for a tire deflation device, a PI contract, and an intimate image allegedly posted without Mica Miller's consent. What prosecutors need now is a jury that doesn't just see the evidence but feels what it meant to be on the receiving end of it for nearly two years.Miller was indicted in December 2025 on federal charges of cyberstalking and making false statements. The alleged harassment ran from November 2022 through Mica's death in April 2024. Prosecutors say Miller told agents the PI was hired to protect Mica from purchasing firearms — a claim the government calls a lie. Miller has pleaded not guilty and denies the allegations. He has not been charged in Mica's death. She was thirty, filed for divorce two days before dying, and her death was ruled a suicide. He faces up to seven years combined. Trial is October 2026.The challenge for the prosecution is translating data into fear. A tracking log is a spreadsheet until a prosecutor makes the jury imagine being watched every time they drive to work. A call log is a column of numbers until twelve people understand what it feels like to have your phone ring fifty times from someone you begged to leave you alone.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony to dissect the prosecution's strategy. The narrative architecture. The plan to preempt victim-blaming. The jury selection strategy in a case this visible. And whether these charges are the government's endgame or its opening move toward something larger.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Twelve strangers will sit in a federal courtroom in October 2026 and decide whether JP Miller is a cyberstalker or a concerned husband. His lawyers have to make the second version believable despite GPS trackers, a PI, fifty-plus daily contacts, an intimate image posted online, and the government's claim that Miller lied to the FBI.Miller was indicted in December 2025 — one count of cyberstalking, one count of false statements. Prosecutors allege the harassment ran from November 2022 through Mica Miller's death in April 2024. Miller has pleaded not guilty and denies the allegations. He is not charged in Mica's death. She was thirty, filed for divorce two days before dying, and her death was ruled a suicide.The defense strategy likely hinges on intent. Reframe the tracking as protective rather than malicious. Point to Mica's documented mental health struggles to argue that Miller's monitoring was motivated by genuine fear for her safety. Attack the prosecution's interpretation of the PI hire. The false statements charge is a separate headache — the FBI typically has its interviews documented airtight, which makes defending a lie to agents one of the hardest plays in federal court.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony to evaluate the defense playbook and name its strongest and weakest points. The elephant in the courtroom: with a global documentary saturating every potential juror's awareness, how does the defense seat a panel that hasn't already decided?Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The federal case against JP Miller charges one defendant. But prosecutors describe an alleged operation that involved more people than that. Court filings reference associates who allegedly helped track, follow, and harass Mica Miller during the nearly two years prosecutors say the cyberstalking campaign ran.Miller was indicted in December 2025 — one count of cyberstalking, one count of making false statements. The allegations span November 2022 through Mica's death in April 2024. Tracking devices, daily contacts exceeding fifty, financial interference, tire damage, an intimate image posted without consent. Miller has pleaded not guilty. He denies the allegations and has not been charged in Mica's death. She was thirty and filed for divorce two days before dying. Her death was ruled a suicide. Trial is October 2026.Without a coercive control law in South Carolina, the psychological torment pattern that Mica's family has described publicly carries limited legal consequences. But physical acts leave evidence. The person who allegedly planted a device or physically followed Mica has a different kind of exposure than the person who allegedly directed it from a distance.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony to examine the legal position of the alleged inner circle. Who carries more exposure — the alleged orchestrator or the alleged helpers? How do federal investigators leverage that gap? What combination of threats and incentives turns a loyal follower into a cooperating witness? And what is the very first thing a defense attorney tells a panicked former church member who walks through the door?Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Federal cases are won by the government roughly ninety percent of the time. JP Miller's defense team faces those odds with a case file that includes GPS trackers, a private investigator, over fifty daily contacts, tire deflation devices purchased online, and an intimate image allegedly posted without consent. The alleged campaign ran nearly two years. The evidence is digital, documented, and difficult to reinterpret.Miller faces one count of cyberstalking and one count of making false statements. He was indicted in December 2025 and has pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors allege the harassment ran from November 2022 through Mica Miller's death in April 2024. The false statements charge stems from what prosecutors say Miller told agents about hiring a PI to keep Mica from buying firearms. Miller denies the allegations and has not been charged in Mica's death. She was thirty. She filed for divorce two days before she died. Her death was ruled a suicide. Trial is October 2026.The defense path is narrow. Turn the surveillance into protection. Use Mica's documented mental health struggles to create reasonable doubt about intent. Attack the government's characterization of the PI hire. And do all of it in front of a jury pool saturated with the Netflix documentary and years of media coverage.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony to map the defense strategy and name its weakest point. The false statements count — the cover-up — may be the charge that gives the defense the least room to move.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Five years for cyberstalking. Two years for false statements. Seven total if a federal jury convicts JP Miller on both counts. The DOJ brought the charges in December 2025 and has been building toward an October 2026 trial. Miller allegedly left a massive digital footprint — GPS data, purchase records, phone logs, PI contracts, and an intimate image posted online.Miller has pleaded not guilty and denies the allegations. Prosecutors allege he harassed Mica Miller from November 2022 through her death in April 2024. The false statements charge stems from what the government says Miller told agents about the PI hire — that it was to prevent Mica from purchasing firearms. The government calls that a lie. Mica was thirty. She filed for divorce two days before dying. Her death was ruled a suicide. Miller has not been charged in her death.Building a federal case isn't just about accumulating evidence. It's about constructing a story the jury can feel. Prosecutors need twelve people to understand that the GPS coordinates, the phone records, and the purchase receipts add up to something more than a contentious divorce — that they describe an alleged campaign of sustained terror.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony to reverse-engineer the prosecution's approach. How does a prosecutor sequence the evidence for maximum impact? How does the government anticipate and neutralize the victim-blaming defense before it gains traction? How do you seat a clean jury in a case saturated by a Netflix documentary? And the seven-year question: is this the ceiling, or is the DOJ squeezing for something bigger?Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The federal indictment names JP Miller. It does not name the people around him who allegedly helped. But that doesn't mean they're safe. Court filings describe church members and associates who allegedly executed physical tasks in the harassment of Mica Miller — the kind of acts that leave evidence law enforcement can trace.Miller was indicted in December 2025 on charges of cyberstalking and making false statements to federal investigators. The alleged conduct ran from November 2022 until Mica's death in April 2024 and includes tracking devices on her vehicle, more than fifty contacts in a day, interference with her finances, tire damage, and an intimate image posted online. Miller has pleaded not guilty and denies the allegations. He has not been charged in Mica's death, which was ruled a suicide. She was thirty. She filed for divorce two days before she died. Trial is October 2026.South Carolina has no coercive control law. That gap limits what the state can pursue against the alleged psychological torment. But the physical acts described in the filings — the tracking, the following, the damage — carry separate legal risk for anyone who allegedly carried them out. The insulation that allegedly protected Miller may not protect his helpers.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony to break down the legal math. Why the person who physically placed a device may face more direct exposure than the person who allegedly ordered it. How investigators squeeze a crumbling inner circle. And what the first phone call to a defense attorney sounds like when you're the one who did someone else's dirty work.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

JP Miller allegedly created degrees of separation between himself and the physical acts described in the federal indictment. Prosecutors say Mica Miller was tracked, contacted over fifty times in a day, had her tires damaged, and had an intimate image posted without consent. Court filings describe associates who allegedly carried out tasks while Miller allegedly stayed off camera.Miller faces one count of cyberstalking and one count of making false statements to federal investigators, tied to alleged conduct from November 2022 through Mica's death in April 2024. He has pleaded not guilty, denies the allegations, and is not charged in Mica's death. She was thirty and had filed for divorce two days before. Her death was ruled a suicide. Trial is October 2026.The alleged helpers are now running. South Carolina's lack of a coercive control statute limits what the state can pursue. But physical acts — placing a tracking device, following someone, making harassing contact — carry their own criminal exposure regardless of who gave the order. The person who allegedly executed the task left a trail the alleged orchestrator didn't.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony live to examine the legal position for the alleged enablers. Faddis breaks down how investigators work inward from the helpers to the person at the center. Does the FBI offer immunity or threaten indictments?

Tracking devices. A hired private investigator. Fifty-plus calls in a day. Tire deflation devices bought online. An intimate image posted without consent. Federal prosecutors say all of it points to a calculated cyberstalking campaign. JP Miller's defense team has to make it point somewhere else.Miller was indicted in December 2025 on charges of cyberstalking and making false statements to investigators. The alleged conduct ran from November 2022 through Mica Miller's death in April 2024. When agents asked about the PI, prosecutors say Miller claimed it was to prevent Mica from purchasing a firearm. The government calls that a lie. Miller has pleaded not guilty, denies the allegations, and is not charged in Mica's death. She was thirty and had filed for divorce two days prior. Her death was ruled a suicide. Trial is October 2026.The defense playbook in a case like this typically starts with reframing intent. The same set of actions described as stalking by the prosecution gets described as a husband trying to protect a struggling wife. The mental health angle becomes the hinge — if the defense can make the jury see genuine concern instead of calculated control, reasonable doubt enters the room.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony live to walk through the strategy. Where is the reasonable doubt? How does a defense team seat an impartial jury when the Netflix documentary has already told the story to millions?

Evidence proves facts. But federal prosecutors need something more from this jury — they need twelve people to feel the accumulated weight of what Mica Miller allegedly lived with for nearly two years. GPS tracking data on a spreadsheet doesn't do that. Fifty contacts in one day logged on a phone record doesn't do that. The prosecution has to turn the digital forensics into a lived experience the jury can't look away from.Miller was indicted in December 2025 on one count of cyberstalking and one count of false statements to investigators. The alleged conduct spans November 2022 through Mica's death in April 2024. He has pleaded not guilty, denies the allegations, and is not charged in Mica's death. She was thirty, filed for divorce two days before dying, and her death was ruled a suicide. He faces a combined maximum of seven years. Trial is October 2026.The prosecution's roadmap includes GPS records, purchase histories for a tire deflation device, phone records, PI invoices, and an intimate image posted without consent. The false statements charge adds what prosecutors say Miller told agents — that the PI was protection, not stalking. The government says that was a lie.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony live to map the prosecution's strategy. How does the DOJ transform a pile of data into a felt experience of terror? How do prosecutors dismantle the "concerned husband" narrative before it takes hold? How do they handle the media saturation for an appeal-proof verdict? And do the charges represent the whole case — or is the real strategy to apply pressure until someone in Miller's orbit breaks?Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A mistrial usually resets a case. Lindsay Clancy's left prosecutors with a reported 11-1 split and a public statement from DA Tim Cruz defending the theory jurors could not unanimously accept. Cruz described the deaths as the “cruel and calculated killing of three innocents” and said the evidence suggested to his office that Clancy was in control. Judge William Sullivan declared the mistrial September 4 after jurors deliberated for more than 38 hours across seven days. Kevin Reddington says eleven jurors favored acquittal. That figure comes from the defense, and no verdict was returned. The underlying legal divide remains the same: the defense attributed Clancy's actions to postpartum psychosis and lack of criminal responsibility, while the prosecution argued she understood the wrongfulness of her conduct and could choose differently. Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski with experience on both sides of a criminal courtroom. He examines how prosecutors evaluate a failed first trial, what juror feedback can reveal, when expert testimony needs rebuilding, and how a district attorney weighs retrial against a plea or another resolution. Cruz has authority to try the case again. The first jury still gave his office a result it has to evaluate before choosing that path. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examines the social fallout that followed the same trial. She focuses on the fear underneath the public argument over postpartum psychosis and why people reach for labels that create distance from severe mental illness. Scott also considers what the public spectacle may communicate to mothers who are afraid to disclose disturbing symptoms. Patrick Clancy's attorney has said another trial would be extraordinarily painful for him and his family. Cruz has not announced his decision. Both sides are scheduled to return to court September 29, where the legal consequences of the mistrial begin taking shape.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Tim Cruz left the Lindsay Clancy mistrial facing a problem prosecutors rarely get to see this clearly. Kevin Reddington says eleven jurors favored acquittal and one did not. Cruz still defended the prosecution's theory and called the deaths the “cruel and calculated killing of three innocents.” The jury had deliberated for more than 38 hours across seven days before Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial on September 4. Clancy's defense never disputed that she caused the deaths of Cora, Dawson, and Callan.The fight was over criminal responsibility: the defense said postpartum psychosis deprived her of the capacity required by Massachusetts law, while prosecutors argued she knew her conduct was wrong and could control it. Former prosecutor and defense attorney Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to work through the decision now sitting with Cruz's office. A retrial can involve more than putting the same witnesses back on the stand. Prosecutors can reassess which evidence actually persuaded jurors, how their experts were received, whether the charging posture still makes sense, and whether any negotiated resolution serves the case better than another first-degree murder trial. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott brings the discussion outside the legal strategy. She examines why this case has produced such absolute public judgments about mothers, mental illness, responsibility, and mercy. The mistrial did not settle what happened inside Clancy's mind, yet the public conversation often treats uncertainty as weakness and compassion as taking a side. There is another person prosecutors have to consider. Patrick Clancy's attorney said reliving the deaths through another trial would be extraordinarily painful for Patrick and his family. Cruz said he would not make an immediate retrial decision. The case returns to court September 29 with the prosecution's next move still unresolved.

The Lindsay Clancy jury could not reach a verdict, but Kevin Reddington says the split was 11-1 for acquittal. Minutes after the mistrial, Plymouth County DA Tim Cruz defended the case and described the deaths as the “cruel and calculated killing of three innocents.” That contrast is where the next fight begins. Judge William Sullivan ended the trial September 4 after more than 38 hours of deliberation over seven days. The defense argued Clancy was experiencing postpartum psychosis and was not criminally responsible. The Commonwealth argued the evidence showed planning, awareness, and control. Cruz said the evidence suggested to his office that Clancy remained in control of her actions. Eric Faddis, a defense attorney and former prosecutor, joins Tony Brueski to examine the choices available after a mistrial like this. Prosecutors can retry the same theory, adjust the way the case is presented, reconsider charges, explore a plea, or decide another trial will not produce a better result. Faddis also looks at how much weight an office should give a reported 11-1 split when jurors never returned a unanimous verdict. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins the conversation from a different direction. She looks at why the Clancy case has become so personal for viewers and why postpartum psychosis is being argued as a moral identity question instead of only a medical and legal issue. Her focus is on what that atmosphere communicates to parents who may already be frightened by their own thoughts and symptoms. Patrick Clancy's lawyer has described another trial as extraordinarily painful for Patrick and his family. Cruz has not announced a retrial decision. With a September 29 court date scheduled, the prosecution has to decide what justice looks like after a jury reportedly came within one vote of acquittal.

Lindsay Clancy's mistrial ended one jury fight and immediately opened several others, including Kevin Reddington's public request for President Donald Trump to help his client. A president cannot pardon a defendant on Massachusetts state charges, but Reddington has said he made the appeal because any help could matter while prosecutors decide whether to retry her. The pressure campaign is tied to the defense's view of how the first trial went wrong. Medical witnesses described Clancy's neck and wrist cuts as superficial. Her fall from the home caused a spinal injury that left her paralyzed, and Reddington argued the state had tried to minimize the seriousness of the overall attempt. After seven days and roughly 38 hours of deliberation, Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial on September 4. Reddington has said the jury was divided 11-1 in favor of acquittal based on lack of criminal responsibility, a split later echoed by jurors speaking publicly. District Attorney Timothy Cruz has not announced a retrial decision. An emergency Supreme Judicial Court request over the holdout juror was denied, and a spectator was arrested after allegedly filming jurors outside the courthouse. The defense is also asking Sullivan for a required finding of not guilty under Rule 25. The September 29 hearing is scheduled to address that request along with status and trial assignment. If the motion fails and prosecutors continue, both sides will have to decide how much the first jury's reported split changes the next trial or any negotiation. Bob Motta of Defense Diaries and defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis join Tony Brueski to work through the fallout. They examine the disputed injury strategy, the mistrial record, the Rule 25 standard, and Reddington's refusal to accept a resolution requiring jail time. They also explain why the defense sought presidential attention while the charging decision remains with a Massachusetts district attorney.

The Lindsay Clancy holdout controversy centers on what the jury foreperson allegedly reported to the court, not simply on a juror voting differently. Kevin Reddington said the foreperson identified one juror who acknowledged doubt but would not apply Judge William Sullivan's instruction on reasonable doubt. That distinction mattered because jurors are allowed to disagree, including as a minority of one. Sullivan questioned jurors about their ability to follow the law and repeated the legal standard, but he declined Reddington's request to remove the holdout. Seven days and more than 38 hours of deliberations ended with a September 4 mistrial. The legal fallout did not stay inside Plymouth Superior Court. On September 8, Howard Cooper, attorney for Patrick Clancy, said online creators had spread false claims accusing Patrick of involvement in the deaths of his children. Cooper warned that appropriate legal measures would be pursued and said law enforcement had been notified. Robin Dreeke, former FBI counterintelligence behavioral expert, joins Tony Brueski to separate the observable group dynamics from speculation about what a single juror believed. Eric Faddis, defense attorney and former felony prosecutor, explains why judges protect the secrecy and independence of deliberations even when other jurors report a problem. Faddis then turns to the accusations involving Patrick and the legal exposure that can arise when commentary makes provably false factual claims about an identifiable person. The combined discussion follows two lines courts guard carefully: the independence of a juror and the boundary between protected speech and actionable defamation. Lindsay Clancy's next scheduled court date is September 29 while prosecutors consider whether to retry the case.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The Lindsay Clancy jury deadlock turned into a legal argument over one juror and one reported admission. Kevin Reddington told the court that the foreperson said a holdout had acknowledged doubt yet would not apply Judge William Sullivan's instructions on reasonable doubt. Reddington wanted the juror removed. Sullivan instead questioned the jurors about their ability to follow the law, repeated the reasonable-doubt instruction, and refused to replace the holdout based on the information before him. The jury remained stuck, and the case ended in a mistrial on September 4 after more than 38 hours of deliberations over seven days. The courtroom fight was followed by another dispute outside it. On September 8, Patrick Clancy's lawyer Howard Cooper said social-media accusations tying Patrick to the deaths of his children were false, described the campaign as escalating and destructive, and said law enforcement had been notified. Robin Dreeke, a former FBI counterintelligence behavioral expert and Hidden Killers co-host, joins Tony Brueski to examine what prolonged deadlock can do to trust, persuasion, and group pressure without assigning motives to a juror he never interviewed. Eric Faddis, a defense attorney and former felony prosecutor, breaks down when a judge may investigate possible juror misconduct and why courts are cautious about intruding into deliberations. Faddis also examines the Patrick Clancy dispute: the difference between harsh opinion and a false factual accusation, and how lawyers can seek identifying information tied to anonymous accounts. He also explains what a statement that law enforcement has been notified does and does not establish. September 29 is the next scheduled court date while the prosecution weighs another trial.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Lindsay Clancy's post-mistrial legal battle has moved far beyond the jury room, with defense attorney Kevin Reddington publicly asking President Donald Trump for help in a Massachusetts state murder case. Reddington knows federal pardon power does not reach Clancy's state charges, so the move is best understood through the pressure it may create while prosecutors decide whether to try her again. That strategy lands after a trial in which the prosecution challenged the seriousness of Clancy's attempt on her own life. Doctors and first responders testified that cuts to her neck and wrists were superficial, while the fall from the second story caused a severe spinal injury and paralysis. Reddington accused the Commonwealth of using the wound testimony to suggest the attempt was staged or insincere. The jury never reached a verdict. Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial on September 4 after about 38 hours of deliberations across seven days, and Reddington later said the panel stood 11-1 for acquittal on criminal responsibility. Jurors who spoke afterward also described a lone holdout. An emergency Supreme Judicial Court request over that juror was denied, and a spectator was arrested after allegedly filming jurors outside the courthouse. Reddington is now pursuing the path that has actual legal force inside the state case. On September 29, Sullivan is scheduled to take up status, trial assignment, and the Rule 25 motion seeking a required finding of not guilty. The Commonwealth must also decide whether it wants another trial, a negotiated resolution, or no further prosecution. Bob Motta of Defense Diaries and defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis join Tony Brueski for the legal mechanics after the mistrial. Motta examines whether the prosecution's handling of Clancy's injuries became a strategic liability. Faddis explains the Rule 25 fight, the effect of a reported 11-1 split on negotiations, and why a defense lawyer would seek presidential attention when the pardon itself is unavailable.

The Lindsay Clancy mistrial came after a jury-room complaint that raised a harder question than ordinary disagreement. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington said the foreperson identified a juror who had acknowledged doubt but was refusing to apply the court's reasonable-doubt instruction to the verdict. Judge William Sullivan did not remove the juror. He questioned jurors about whether they could follow his legal instructions, reminded them of the reasonable-doubt standard, and sent them back to deliberate. The panel still could not reach a unanimous verdict, and Sullivan declared a mistrial on September 4 after seven days of deliberations. Then the conflict moved outside the courthouse. Patrick Clancy's attorney Howard Cooper issued a September 8 statement condemning online claims that Patrick was involved in the deaths of his children, warning of possible legal consequences, and confirming that law enforcement had been notified. Former FBI counterintelligence behavioral expert Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to look at the human mechanics of a pressured group. He examines what happens when eleven people believe the twelfth is not reasoning from the same rules, without turning limited information into a diagnosis of motive. Defense attorney and former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis handles the legal mechanics, including the narrow circumstances for questioning a juror and the protections surrounding deliberations. Eric also breaks down the defamation fight around Patrick: what lawyers would need to prove, how anonymous creators can become identifiable in litigation, and why notifying police is different from proving a crime occurred. The September 29 hearing sits at the intersection of a mistrial, a possible retrial, and an online fallout that has developed its own legal consequences.

The Lindsay Clancy case has moved from one deadlocked jury to a much wider fight over what happens next. Eric Faddis, defense attorney and former prosecutor, joins True Crime Today to connect Kevin Reddington's post-mistrial strategy, Patrick Clancy's response to online accusations, and Tim Cruz's decision on a second prosecution.Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial on September 4, 2026, after about 38 hours of jury deliberations over seven days. Reddington says the split was 11-1 in favor of acquittal. He then asked President Trump to consider a pardon that a president has no power to grant in a state case. He has also said Lindsay Clancy will not take a plea involving jail time.The next scheduled court date is September 29, with a Rule 25 matter among the issues set for argument.Patrick Clancy is dealing with a different legal problem around the same case. His attorney Howard Cooper says Patrick and his family have been targeted by a destructive defamation campaign built around claims that Patrick was involved in his children's deaths. Cooper said every appropriate measure would be pursued and that law enforcement had been notified.Cruz remains the person who decides whether the Commonwealth tries Lindsay Clancy again. After the mistrial, he said his office believed she was in control of her actions and described the case as cruel and calculated. He has not announced the next charging decision.Eric explains why each piece matters to that choice. The defense has a jury result it can use as leverage. Patrick's legal team is trying to stop a parallel campaign outside the courthouse. Prosecutors must decide whether the same case, a changed case, or no second trial best serves their office.September 29 is the first major point where those choices can begin to harden.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The Lindsay Clancy case now has a prosecutor weighing a retrial, a defense lawyer making national appeals, and a surviving father pushing back against an online campaign aimed at him. Eric Faddis, defense attorney and former prosecutor, joins Tony Brueski to show how those three developments change the ground under Plymouth County DA Tim Cruz.Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial on September 4, 2026, after the jury spent about 38 hours deliberating across seven days. Kevin Reddington says the split was 11-1 for acquittal. Afterward, he asked President Trump to consider a pardon that federal power cannot provide in a Massachusetts case. Reddington also made his negotiating line public: he says he will not plead Lindsay Clancy to any jail time.A September 29 hearing remains the next major court date.Patrick Clancy's attorney Howard Cooper then addressed the conspiracy claims that have circulated online about Patrick. His statement described a relentless, escalating and destructive defamation campaign, promised appropriate legal measures, and said law enforcement had been notified. Eric explains what that can mean for creators who assume a screen name or the phrase "just my opinion" will protect them.Cruz has not announced a retrial decision. He said after the mistrial that his office believed Lindsay Clancy was in control of her actions and described the case as cruel and calculated.Eric walks through the prosecutor's problem from the inside. He explains how an office reviews a case after a near-acquittal and how a reported 11-1 split can change defense leverage. Patrick Clancy's position adds the human cost of another trial, while the defamation fight adds another layer of public attention.

Patrick Clancy testified against his former wife once. His attorney has now said what a second trial would mean for him, and the district attorney has to decide whether to ask. Eric Faddis, defense attorney and former prosecutor, joins True Crime Today to explain how much a surviving father's wishes count.Lindsay Clancy's trial ended in a mistrial September 4, 2026, after 38 hours of deliberation. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington says the jury was 11-1 for acquittal. That same day, Patrick's attorney released a statement saying the prospect of a second trial is extraordinarily painful for him and that his focus is preserving the memory of Cora, Dawson, and Callan. DA Tim Cruz said the facts are that Lindsay Clancy killed her three children and that the evidence suggested she was in control of her actions. He called it the cruel and calculated killing of three innocents. He has not decided whether to retry her.The first-degree murder case was built on a January 24, 2023 timeline: an Apple Maps search for a Plymouth restaurant at 4:13 p.m., a takeout order at 5:10 p.m., and Patrick leaving to pick it up at 5:54 p.m. Prosecutors argued she was getting him out of the house. The defense argued postpartum psychosis and did not dispute that she caused the deaths.Eric explains how a prosecutor's office reviews a case after eleven jurors lean the other way. Whether the top charge was a trap. How failed expert testimony gets rebuilt. Where an elected DA's political math comes in. And whether a father asking to be spared can move a triple-homicide prosecution.Lindsay Clancy is charged with three counts of first-degree murder. She is held at Tewksbury Hospital. Both sides return to court September 29.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Kevin Reddington asked President Trump for a pardon on national television, and a pardon is the one thing Trump cannot give him. Eric Faddis, defense attorney and former prosecutor, joins True Crime Today to explain what the request is actually for.Lindsay Clancy's trial ended in a mistrial on September 4, 2026, after the jury deliberated 38 hours across seven days. Reddington says the split was 11-1 in favor of acquittal. On Good Morning America he asked the president to "consider this young lady and the person she is, what she's been through, and consider a pardon." Presidents can only pardon federal crimes. Reddington then described Plymouth County DA Tim Cruz as a hard-charging, conservative prosecutor and said he hoped Cruz would reconsider after seeing the evidence.Reddington has also ruled out any plea with jail time, saying he would not plead Lindsay Clancy to a single day because she was sick. A Rule 25 motion for a required finding of not guilty, asking the judge to end the case for lack of evidence, is set for September 29.Eric explains how a televised plea to a president becomes pressure on a county prosecutor. He weighs whether a public no-jail ultimatum is a bluff or a demand the jury split supports. He describes what a defense team says to prosecutors after a near-acquittal. He explains why a motion judges rarely grant still has a purpose. And he walks through how a deal gets built around psychiatric care instead of prison, with no admission of guilt.Lindsay Clancy is charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the January 24, 2023 deaths of Cora, Dawson, and Callan.

Patrick Clancy's attorney says the accounts accusing him in his children's deaths are about to answer for it, and one line in his statement tells you how serious this is. Eric Faddis, defense attorney and former prosecutor, joins True Crime Today to explain the legal road from an online post to a courtroom.The statement from attorney Howard Cooper came out September 8, 2026. It describes months of a "relentless, escalating and destructive defamation campaign" against Patrick and his family, built on what the statement calls outright falsehoods. It says the people responsible appear intent on boosting their own social media profiles. It promises that every appropriate measure will be pursued to hold them accountable, including legally. And it says law enforcement has been notified.Eric explains how lawyers identify an anonymous poster, and why the platform usually ends up handing over the name. He explains why "in my opinion" is not the shield most creators think it is. He describes what discovery looks like for an influencer, including private messages and the money the posts earned. He explains where civil defamation ends and criminal harassment or stalking begins. And he answers whether a few high-profile lawsuits could change how creators cover the families in these cases.Patrick Clancy was the prosecution's first witness at the trial of his former wife. Lindsay Clancy was charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the January 24, 2023 deaths of Cora, Dawson, and Callan. The jury could not agree after 38 hours of deliberation. DA Tim Cruz has not said whether he will retry the case. Both sides are due back in court September 29.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Kevin Reddington has told the world what he will not take for Lindsay Clancy, and he said it before the DA has even decided whether to retry her. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to explain how a public ultimatum works as a negotiating tool.The mistrial came September 4, 2026, after seven days and 38 hours of deliberation. Reddington says eleven jurors were ready to acquit. Since then he has gone on Good Morning America and asked President Trump to consider a pardon, knowing a president has no power over a state murder charge. He has called DA Tim Cruz a hard-charging prosecutor and a conservative gentleman and said he hopes Cruz will reconsider. And he has said this: "I would not plead Lindsay Clancy to a day in jail." His reason is that she was sick.There is a motion on the calendar too. On September 29, Reddington will argue for a required finding of not guilty under Rule 25, a request that the judge end the case because the evidence could not support a conviction.Eric explains what a pardon plea to a president who cannot act is really meant to do to an elected county DA. He weighs whether the no-jail line is a bluff or a demand an 11-1 split lets Reddington make. He describes how a defense team uses a near-acquittal in private talks with prosecutors. He explains why a long-shot motion still matters. And he lays out how an agreement gets built around psychiatric care with no admission of guilt.Lindsay Clancy is charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the January 24, 2023 deaths of Cora, Dawson, and Callan. She remains at Tewksbury Hospital. The DA's office declined to comment on Reddington's remarks.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Patrick Clancy's attorney has told the people spreading conspiracy theories about him exactly what is coming, and he did it in writing. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to break down how that promise gets kept.Attorney Howard Cooper released the statement on September 8, 2026. It says Patrick and his family have endured a "relentless, escalating and destructive defamation campaign" for months. It describes the claims that Patrick was involved in his children's deaths as outright falsehoods spread by people who appear intent on boosting their own social media profiles. It says those responsible should understand there will be consequences, that every appropriate measure will be pursued to hold them accountable, including legally, and that law enforcement has been notified.Eric takes the audience inside each step. Unmasking an anonymous account starts with a lawsuit against a John Doe and a subpoena to the platform. "Just a theory" protects a creator only until the post states something as fact that the creator cannot back up. Discovery in a defamation suit reaches direct messages, drafts, and the revenue an account earned from the posts in question. A campaign that is coordinated and relentless can cross into criminal territory, which is why the phrase "law enforcement has been notified" matters. And a few large judgments could set the template every future family's lawyer copies.Patrick Clancy was the first witness prosecutors called at the trial of his former wife, Lindsay Clancy, charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the January 24, 2023 deaths of Cora, Dawson, and Callan. That trial ended in a hung jury on September 4, 2026. DA Tim Cruz has not decided on a retrial. The next court date is September 29.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
A hung jury, a defense attorney saying the split was 11-1 for acquittal, and a district attorney who answered by calling the case cruel and calculated. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to break down what Tim Cruz does with a case that just failed in front of a jury.Judge William Sullivan declared the mistrial September 4, 2026, after seven days and 38 hours of deliberation. Kevin Reddington says eleven jurors wanted to acquit. Cruz said the facts are that Lindsay Clancy killed her three children and that the evidence suggested to his office she was in control of her actions. He called the case the "cruel and calculated killing of three innocents." He has not announced a decision on a retrial. Court reconvenes September 29.The prosecution's theory was premeditation. On January 24, 2023, Lindsay searched Apple Maps at 4:13 p.m. for a restaurant in Plymouth, called in a takeout order at 5:10 p.m., and Patrick Clancy left to get it at 5:54 p.m. Prosecutors argued she was getting him out of the house. The defense argued postpartum psychosis and never disputed that she caused the deaths. The jurors agreed on what happened and split on whether she was responsible for it.Eric explains how a prosecutor's office takes apart its own case after a loss like this. Whether swinging for first-degree murder cost the state a conviction it could have won on a lesser charge. How the expert testimony gets rebuilt so a jury can follow it. The moment an elected DA weighs the county's cost against a triple homicide. And what Patrick Clancy's wishes are worth, now that his attorney says a second trial would be extraordinarily painful for him.Lindsay Clancy is charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, Dawson, and Callan. She is held at Tewksbury Hospital.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
