Lindsay Clancy's Own Experts Couldn't Agree On WHAT?

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

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

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

Lindsay Clancy'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?

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?

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?

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.

What Lindsay Clancy's Conviction Would Actually Look Like

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?

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?

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?

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.

A first-degree murder conviction does not end the case for Lindsay Clancy or for Kevin Reddington. It changes the fight. The sentence is automatic — life without parole — but the legal work that follows could take years.Eric Faddis sits down to explain the roads available after a guilty verdict. Massachusetts automatically sends every first-degree murder conviction to the Supreme Judicial Court for review. The SJC examines the trial record for legal errors — evidentiary rulings, jury instructions, constitutional issues. That record contains everything the jury heard, including the competing psychiatric testimony and the medical records that formed the basis of the insanity defense. Faddis explains whether that evidence, rejected by the jury, can become the foundation of an appellate argument.The physical reality of Clancy's situation adds another layer. She has been at Tewksbury Hospital since May 2023, paralyzed and on 24-hour suicide watch. A conviction means she transfers from a medical setting to a corrections facility. That handoff involves moving a paraplegic patient on continuous suicide watch into a system built for a different purpose. Faddis covers how that process works and what an attorney can push for on behalf of a client inside the prison system.The jury also has the option of finding Clancy guilty of second-degree murder, which carries life with eventual parole eligibility. Faddis breaks down how a jury lands on second degree when the defense never argued she did not kill her children.Outside of a successful appeal, the only other path out of a first-degree sentence is executive commutation. Massachusetts governors have granted commutations for first-degree murder a handful of times in decades.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy's Not-Guilty Verdict Leads to a Place With No End Date

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

How Lindsay Clancy's Jury Actually Makes This Decision

Closing arguments in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial begin Thursday after 21 days of testimony and 84 witnesses. What happens next is the part of the trial most people never see — twelve jurors behind a closed door, trying to agree on whether a mother who admits killing her three children was criminally responsible when she did it.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis sits down to explain the mechanics of that room. Massachusetts law requires the prosecution to prove criminal responsibility beyond a reasonable doubt. The defense does not carry that burden. The legal test — rooted in the McHoul standard — asks two questions: could Clancy appreciate the wrongfulness of what she did, and could she conform her conduct to the law. Prosecutors must prove both. If the jury has reasonable doubt on either, the verdict is not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility.The prosecution's own rebuttal expert conceded Clancy suffered from severe mental illness. He called it depression, not psychosis. The legal standard does not specify a diagnosis — it says mental disease or defect.Faddis covers how jurors organize deliberations, how unanimous-verdict requirements shape the dynamics when holdouts emerge, and what tools the judge has when a jury reports it cannot reach agreement. He explains the Tuey-Rodriguez instruction — Massachusetts' last-resort charge to a deadlocked jury — and what happened when it was used in the Karen Read case.The jury in this case includes twelve women and six men. They begin their work after closing arguments end.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The prosecution rested its case against Lindsay Clancy after fourteen days and more than seventy witnesses at Plymouth Superior Court. During those three weeks, the Plymouth County DA's office directed some of its sharpest cross-examination at Lindsay's own family members.The prosecutor asked Lindsay's former mother-in-law whether she was aware that murder is a mortal sin in the Catholic faith. The judge struck the question. The prosecutor asked Lindsay's mother why she never had her daughter committed after Lindsay disclosed intrusive thoughts about harming the children. The prosecution floated a theory that a defense psychologist coached Lindsay to claim she heard command voices — the investigator on the stand acknowledged no evidence supported it.Opening statements described Lindsay as “controlling, meticulous, and manipulative” and accused her of faking the suicide attempt that left her paralyzed.

What Lindsay Clancy's Nurse Saw Coming In 2022

TikTok creators are calling Patrick Clancy the real killer. Lindsay Clancy's own defense team has already told a courtroom she did it. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down what Patrick can do about online accusations reaching millions of people — and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott digs into a warning that came months before the deaths and never changed the treatment plan. Lindsay has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder over the deaths of five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson, and eight-month-old Callan. Her defense argues severe postpartum illness removed her criminal responsibility. Prosecutors argue she acted with intention. In 2022, nurse practitioner Rebecca Jollotta raised the possibility of bipolar disorder with Lindsay and her husband, partly based on a reported forty-eight hours without sleep on a new antidepressant. She prescribed an antipsychotic used for bipolar disorder and insomnia, while the antidepressant regimen continued. Dr. Jennifer Tufts testified she weighed bipolar disorder that December and set it aside for lack of mania. Staff at McLean Hospital discussed sleep loss tipping a patient hypomanic before discharging her with a diagnosis of major depressive disorder. Shavaun explains why bipolar disorder often takes years to diagnose correctly, why depression is usually the first label clinicians reach for, and whether the criteria taught in training even apply to a new mother. Faddis then returns to Patrick — creators dissecting his remarriage, analyzing his testimony for signs of guilt, and building narratives the trial evidence doesn't support. He lays out what the Alex Jones and Sandy Hook verdicts established, and why suing anonymous creators with no assets may not be worth the fight regardless of the law. LINKS, DISCLAIMER & HASHTAGS Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Why Lindsay Clancy's Treatment Never Changed

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

Months before her children died, a nurse practitioner sat down with Lindsay Clancy and her husband and raised something that never changed the treatment that followed. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott explains what got missed — and defense attorney Eric Faddis tackles a very different problem now facing that same husband. Lindsay has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder after the deaths of five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson, and eight-month-old Callan. Her defense doesn't dispute that she killed them — it argues severe postpartum illness left her not criminally responsible. Prosecutors argue she acted intentionally. In 2022, nurse practitioner Rebecca Jollotta told Lindsay and Patrick that bipolar disorder was a possibility, based partly on a reported forty-eight hours without sleep after starting an antidepressant. She added an antipsychotic used for bipolar disorder and insomnia, but the antidepressant kept going. Dr. Jennifer Tufts testified she considered bipolar disorder that December and set it aside for lack of mania — no euphoria, no high energy, no grandiosity. At McLean Hospital, staff discussed sleep loss tipping a patient hypomanic before discharging her with a diagnosis of major depressive disorder. Shavaun breaks down how long an accurate bipolar diagnosis usually takes, why depression almost always gets diagnosed first, and whether the clinical checklist even fits a mother of three young children. Then the conversation turns to Patrick himself, now facing TikTok creators who are accusing him of murdering his own children and claiming he pushed Lindsay from a window — even as Lindsay's own defense has conceded she did it. Faddis explains what legal recourse actually looks like against anonymous accusers with a massive online reach. LINKS, DISCLAIMER & HASHTAGS Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What Lindsay Clancy Begged Her Providers To Change

Lindsay Clancy messaged her providers almost every day, begging them to change what wasn't working. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to break down a defense case built less on a single moment and more on months of documented desperation. Thirteen psychiatric medications. Daily messages asking for adjustments. Journal entries describing intrusive thoughts and brain fog in the weeks before her children died. Not one provider diagnosed postpartum psychosis before that day — every doctor and nurse practitioner who saw her documented anxiety and depression instead. The psychosis diagnosis came later, from a forensic psychiatrist retained by the defense, a timing detail Faddis says both sides know matters more than almost anything else in the record. Faddis explains why Kevin Reddington has spent three weeks dismantling the providers who treated Lindsay, including her psychiatrist, who admitted under cross-examination that she never once met Lindsay in person across fourteen telehealth sessions, didn't have her complete medical record, and didn't know Lindsay had called a suicide hotline twice. On the other side, prosecutors are leaning on what Lindsay did that morning — sending her husband out for takeout, timing his errand, and a specific search on her phone beforehand. Faddis walks through why the state considers that detail central, and why the defense conceded from day one that Lindsay killed her children, choosing instead to fight over whether she was herself when it happened. What Massachusetts law requires the state to prove beyond a reasonable doubt is where this case now turns, and Faddis makes the case for why the providers on both witness lists may end up mattering as much as anything said in closing arguments. LINKS, DISCLAIMER & HASHTAGS Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

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

A psychiatrist testified Lindsay Clancy showed no signs of psychosis. Then it came out she'd missed something twice. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to walk through the moment that turned a prosecution witness into a problem for the prosecution itself. Dr. Jennifer Tufts treated Lindsay through fourteen telehealth sessions over months and never met her in person. She testified without Lindsay's complete medical record. On cross-examination from Kevin Reddington, she admitted she hadn't known Lindsay called a suicide hotline on two separate occasions, and that she'd become board-certified the same day Lindsay filled out her intake paperwork. Faddis breaks down why the state put Tufts on the stand in the first place — to establish that Lindsay was competent and aware — and why three hours of cross-examination may have accomplished the opposite. The prosecution's broader case leans on Lindsay's actions that day: sending her husband out, timing his errand, and a specific phrase she searched on her phone beforehand, a detail Faddis says the jury will keep coming back to during deliberations. On the other side, the defense has spent weeks building a picture of a woman on thirteen psychiatric medications, messaging providers almost daily begging for changes, describing intrusive thoughts and brain fog in her own journal. No provider diagnosed postpartum psychosis before her children died. That diagnosis came later, from a forensic psychiatrist retained by the defense. Faddis lays out what the state has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt in Massachusetts, and where its own witness list may be working against it. Three weeks into the trial, both sides are still calling witnesses who cut in unexpected directions and reshape the case in real time. LINKS, DISCLAIMER & HASHTAGS Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay's own defense attorney has admitted in open court that she killed the children and is arguing she was not criminally responsible.The conspiracy theories have escalated during the trial.

The cross-examination turned that testimony into the defense's strongest moment of the trial.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down the prosecution's case three weeks in. Every provider the state has put on the stand has given the defense ammunition on cross. The nanny called Lindsay a wonderful mother. The pediatrician saw nothing wrong. Patrick Clancy described a Seroquel spiral and thirteen medications. The prosecution argues Lindsay planned the killings. The state's own evidence suggests a woman who was falling apart while her providers missed it.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Thirteen medications. Daily messages to her nurse practitioner begging for changes. Journal entries describing intrusive thoughts she'd never had before and a desperate desire to get well. Not one clinician diagnosed Lindsay Clancy with postpartum psychosis before January 24, 2023.Every provider who treated her documented anxiety and depression. The psychosis diagnosis came afterward, from a forensic psychiatrist working with the defense. Lindsay's attorney Kevin Reddington told the jury she heard voices that day — "This is your last chance" — and that the medical system failed to identify what was happening to her.Reddington has spent three weeks in Plymouth Superior Court building that argument through cross-examination. He dismantled Lindsay's psychiatrist over fourteen telehealth-only sessions. He exposed gaps in her medical records. He read her journal entries aloud to the jury. The defense conceded on day one that Lindsay killed her children. The entire case turns on whether the jury believes she was someone else when it happened.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down the defense's approach — what's working, where the diagnosis gap creates risk, and whether Reddington's strategy of putting the providers on trial can overcome the historical reluctance of juries to accept insanity defenses in cases involving children.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Can Patrick Clancy Sue the Creators Calling Him a Killer?

TikTok creators are posting videos accusing Patrick Clancy of murdering his own children. They're calling him the next Chris Watts. They're claiming he pushed Lindsay out the window. Both the prosecution and Lindsay's own defense team agree that Lindsay killed the children — the only dispute is whether she was criminally responsible.Patrick has become one of the most discussed figures on social media during the trial. Creators are scrutinizing his remarriage, analyzing his testimony, and building alternate narratives that contradict the evidence in court. He's not a public figure by choice. He's a father who lost three children and testified in the case that took them from him.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down Patrick's legal options. Whether these accusations constitute defamation. Whether calling something a theory or asking questions protects a creator from liability. What the Alex Jones verdict means for content creators who build audiences on false claims about real people. Whether Patrick is a public or private figure in the eyes of the law. And the bottom-line question the audience wants answered: should he sue, can he win, and is it even worth it?Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Eric Faddis is a defense attorney and a former prosecutor. In this session, he covers three active criminal cases that share a common thread: in each one, the defendant's own words are the most consequential evidence in the proceeding.Kohberger told a judge he was guilty. He signed a questionnaire. He endorsed his plea under oath. Now he says his lawyers made him lie — and his petition to withdraw the plea could put the death penalty back on the table.Clancy's journal entries were read aloud in a Massachusetts courtroom. "I feel like I'm drowning every day." The prosecution says that proves lucidity. The defense says it proves freefall. Meanwhile, the state's own psychiatrist admitted psychosis can look like cooperation.Keffe D spent fifteen years telling police, television producers, and book readers that he was in the car when Tupac was shot. He published a memoir. He gave a proffer. Now he says it was all fiction — and a Las Vegas jury is about to decide.Faddis assesses each case from both sides of the courtroom — prosecution vulnerabilities, defense strategies, and who's actually in control.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Duane "Keffe D" Davis is heading to trial in Las Vegas on a murder charge connected to the 1996 shooting death of Tupac Shakur. He is the only person ever charged in the case. He has pleaded not guilty.The prosecution's evidence centers on statements Davis made over more than a decade — to police in a 2008 proffer session, on BET's "Death Row Chronicles" documentary, and in his 2019 book "Compton Street Legend." In each account, Davis placed himself in a white Cadillac alongside his nephew Orlando Anderson, whom he identified as the shooter.Davis's defense argues the 2008 statements were made under a promise of immunity connected to the LAPD's investigation into the Biggie Smalls case. Prosecutors contend Davis voided that protection by voluntarily repeating the same confessions in public forums for the next fifteen years.The case is nearly thirty years old. Anderson was killed in 1998. The weapon has never been recovered. Many potential witnesses have died. The jury pool will include people who were children — or not yet born — when the shooting happened.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis assesses the strengths and weaknesses of a prosecution built almost entirely on the defendant's own words, and what happens when a cold case this famous finally meets a jury.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The murder trial of Lindsay Clancy is underway at Plymouth Superior Court, and the prosecution's first week of testimony has revealed something the jury won't easily set aside: Lindsay Clancy was on thirteen psychiatric medications at the time of her children's deaths.The state's toxicologist confirmed that each drug was within its prescribed therapeutic range. But thirteen medications running through one person's system simultaneously is not the same as one medication at a normal dose — and no prosecution witness has addressed that distinction.Defense attorney Kevin Reddington made an unusual tactical concession early in the trial. He told the judge his client does not contest the physical evidence. She killed her children. The exercise bands are the weapons. The DNA matches. That move eliminated dozens of prosecution witnesses and shifted the jury's attention to the only question that matters: criminal responsibility.The prosecution's own psychiatrist, under cross-examination, acknowledged that psychosis can present with outward calm and apparent coherence. That admission — from the state's expert — goes directly to the heart of the defense's argument.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis assesses the prosecution's first-week strategy and whether the state has built a case for premeditation — or accidentally built the case for the defense.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In July 2025, Bryan Kohberger stood in an Ada County courtroom and admitted to killing four University of Idaho students. The plea deal gave him four consecutive life sentences without parole and removed the death penalty. He signed a nine-page questionnaire. He told the judge he was guilty.Thirteen months later, he wants it all back. His handwritten petition for post-conviction relief claims ineffective assistance of counsel, coercion, and withheld evidence. He alleges his lawyers told his family a fabricated story about death row to pressure the deal. He says he was advised to lie.The evidence he cites: hair found near Ethan Chapin's hand that wasn't Kohberger's. But his own defense expert tested that hair and concluded it was consistent with Chapin's own hair. The characterization he uses — "clumps of hair" — came from a third-party book, not from any official record.Idaho law sets the post-sentencing bar at manifest injustice. Kohberger waived his right to appeal. He endorsed the plea under oath. The court has appointed attorney Gregory Rauch to take the petition forward.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis weighs the legal standard, the obstacles, and whether Kohberger just traded a guaranteed life sentence for a shot at the firing squad.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
