The Jerry Sandusky case is back in the national spotlight after reports that "Victim 10" Ryan Rittmeyer plans to recant his trial testimony at an upcoming evidentiary hearing. Journalist John Ziegler, who has spent over a decade investigating the case and is the only person to have interviewed Rittmeyer since the trial, argues that the alleged recantation is deeply compromised and that the hearing could backfire disastrously on Sandusky's defense. Ziegler reveals that investigator Frank Parlato developed a deeply conflicted relationship with Rittmeyer — including housing him, arranging a documentary contract, and introducing him to a girlfriend — fatally undermining any credibility the recantation might have had. The episode also covers why accusers who knew Sandusky well are less likely to recant, how to open skeptical minds to re-examining the case, and why federal court may be the only remaining path to justice.

In August 2026, the trial started for Lindsay Clancy, who is alleged to have killed her three children.

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

Why is the world so obsessed with the Lindsay Clancy trial? While she admits to the unimaginable act of killing her three children, the public reaction has been unusually complex. Instead of universal vilification, there is a profound wave of sympathy for a mother who sought help for severe postpartum psychosis. In the latest episode of our mini-series tracking the trial, we explore the Prosecution's case and the key evidence that has been presented to the court.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/E9560lA271A  This Case Brief highlights a legal charging conference where the judge and attorneys debate and establish over 50 jury instructions. The proceedings focus on crucial, fact-based instructions including the voluntariness of the defendant's statement, corpus delicti and its relation to confession corroboration, and the law of self-defense. While the defense successfully fights for a voluntariness instruction, the corpus delicti debate culminates in a modified instruction clarifying that a defendant's confession—if believed—does not require further corroboration as long as independent evidence proves the victim's death was caused by a criminal act. Ultimately, the judge plans to pre-read these instructions to the jury before closing arguments begin on Monday. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Three witnesses. Under two hours. The defense in the Keffe D murder trial rested on Day 9 — and the witness they built their case around may have done more for the prosecution than the defense.Dan Long, the retired detective who led the Tupac Shakur investigation for fifteen years, testified he couldn't verify key parts of Davis's story. But on cross-examination, he confirmed Davis identified the same four men the investigation had already developed as suspects. Then he told the jury he tried to seek a murder arrest warrant in 2009 because he believed there was probable cause — and prosecutors told him to stand down.Davis did not testify. Two former officers described seeing the Cadillac at Suge Knight's house and leaving in a convoy with Tupac's BMW. Closing arguments are Monday.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

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

As expected, the jury heard a dramatic and powerful closing argument from Lindsay Clancy defense attorney Kevin Reddington. Reporters inside the courtroom described both Clancy and several jurors wiping tears from their eyes as Reddington showed pictures of the once happy family that he said was ripped apart because “of the damn medicine and the lousy medical care that she got." Reddington took nearly the full hour to make his final case to jurors, saying the prosecution has manipulated the evidence, and reiterating that Clancy was a “darn good mother” who had no motive to kill her kids.

Clancy was broadcasting her deterioration for months before the killings — to her doctors, to people in her community, to a suicide hotline. That's what the prosecution's own final witness acknowledged under cross-examination on August 26.Saathoff confirmed that Clancy had been openly reporting intrusive thoughts, dark thoughts, suicidal thoughts, and homicidal ideation to people around her. She called a crisis line and reported suicidal ideation. The hotline determined she had no specific plan and was not hospitalized. The system heard her. What happened on January 24, 2023 happened anyway.Earlier, Saathoff gave the prosecution the clinical testimony it needed — Clancy acted deliberately, moved through the sequence without direction, and was in control. Then Reddington read the prosecution's opening statement aloud and asked if Saathoff agreed with it. The FBI psychiatrist told the jury the prosecution's own characterization of Clancy as selfish and manipulative "really minimizes what she was going through." Testimony is over. Closing arguments Thursday. The verdict slip now carries four options — including manslaughter, which the prosecution opposed.END_LINKSListen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Judge William Sullivan ruled on August 26 that Lindsay Clancy's jury can consider involuntary manslaughter as a lesser included offense — over the prosecution's objection. The Commonwealth charged Clancy with first-degree murder and fought to keep manslaughter off the verdict slip. Sullivan put it there anyway.The ruling came after the prosecution's final expert gave the Commonwealth the clinical testimony it needed — and then undercut the prosecution's own rhetoric under cross-examination. FBI psychiatrist Gregory Saathoff had told the jury Clancy was in control and her account of the voice was unconvincing.Reddington then read the prosecution's own opening statement aloud — the version that called Clancy's decision "the selfish choice." He asked the FBI psychiatrist if he agreed with the prosecution's words.Saathoff told the jury the characterization "really minimizes what she was going through." The Commonwealth's final witness rejected the Commonwealth's own rhetoric.The jury now has four possible verdicts: first-degree murder, second-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter, or not criminally responsible. Reddington also asked for a jury instruction on inadequate police investigation, arguing officers "didn't investigate anything" and didn't test blood at the scene. Sullivan declined that instruction. Closing arguments Thursday.END_LINKSListen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In episode three of our mini-series tracking the trial of Lindsay Clancy, we unpack the prosecution's opening statements and core arguments. Through 14 days of testimony and over 70 witnesses, prosecutors detailed Lindsay’s digital footprint, hospital records, and phone notes expressing maternal burnout. We examine key testimony from her ex-husband, Patrick Clancy, who recently filed a wrongful death lawsuit against her medical providers, as the court analyses Apple Watch health data, step counts, and the precise timeline of the evening Cora, Dawson, and Callan were killed.

Lindsay Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is standing trial for the murders of her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months — allegedly strangled with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her defense, led by Kevin Reddington, is built around an insanity claim: severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Cross-examination is where the prosecution's expert stopped having it easy. Dr. Gregory Saathoff, the FBI-affiliated forensic psychiatrist who diagnosed Clancy with bipolar II and testified she was criminally responsible, admitted under Reddington's questioning that he wasn't brought onto this case until January or February of 2026 — well after the killings — and that he didn't even know how much his own university employer got paid for his testimony. Reddington didn't let that sit quietly, either, pressing the point that Saathoff's expert work runs almost exclusively for prosecutors, prisons, and the institutions that write his paychecks.It got more pointed from there. Saathoff confirmed Clancy did tell her husband and mother about homicidal ideation — but when Reddington asked whether she'd complained to doctors, friends, and family about dark, intrusive thoughts of suicide and homicidal ideation more broadly, Saathoff wouldn't concede the homicidal piece. He did admit she kept reaching out for help, and that she told her doctors about dark thoughts and suicidal ideation. What never got asked, notably: whether those thoughts were just thoughts, or whether she experienced them as voices.Saathoff also testified he treated women with postpartum depression back in the 1980s and '90s, background the defense clearly wants jurors weighing against his conclusions today.Clancy is now paralyzed from the waist down after allegedly jumping from a second-story window. Husband Patrick Clancy has relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

According to Mary and Andrew, recent moves by President Trump's administration have been following a pattern: “If at first you don't succeed, try try again.” The co-hosts begin by breaking down the flurry of news surrounding mail voting, starting with Monday afternoon's decision by the Supreme Court to allow President Trump's executive order curtailing mail voting to proceed, though not issuing a decision on the merits of the order. They discuss that decision in conjunction with the Postal Service's announcement on Friday for a final rule that would comply with the executive order, a move that Andrew calls a proxy for the government to “have the Postal Service act in a way that has a clearly disproportionate impact on certain voters.” Then, a conversation about birthright citizenship after a motion was filed yesterday rejecting Trump's executive orders that attempt to limit the legal principle. Plus, an analysis of the Second and Ninth Circuit Court's rulings disqualifying U.S. Attorneys that were improperly appointed by Trump and a quick nod to Minnesota suing the governor of Texas for not extraditing an ICE agent accused of shooting a man in Minneapolis.  Tune in next week as we switch to Wednesday morning releases — and video editions of Main Justice available on YouTube.

Two prosecution rebuttal experts took the stand in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial and agreed on one thing: she wasn't psychotic. They disagreed on nearly everything else, including her diagnosis.Forensic psychologist Kirk Heilbrun scored Clancy's account of hearing a commanding male voice against clinical benchmarks and found three indicators pointing toward fabrication. No accompanying delusions. No attempt to stop it. And an auditory experience that appeared for eighteen minutes during the killings and was never reported before or after. Approximately 88 percent of genuine command hallucinations come with delusions. Clancy reported none.Heilbrun's theory for why she killed Cora, Dawson, and Callan landed harder than any clinical finding. He called it "suicide combined with altruistic filicide" — a mother who planned to end her own life and took her children with her because she was convinced they would suffer without her. When Patrick asked what happened, she didn't mention a voice. She said she tried to kill herself.The day ended early after the prosecution's own witness raised Clancy's Catholic upbringing and asked her about mortal sin — the second time in eight days faith entered the trial through the prosecution's side. Judge Sullivan denied a defense mistrial motion but sent the jury home. Closing arguments are expected Wednesday.END_LINKSListen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Cross-examination turned into a credibility audit in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial this week. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation in the deaths of her children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months — allegedly strangled with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She's pleaded not guilty, and defense attorney Kevin Reddington is arguing insanity: severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Reddington took his shot at Dr. Kirk Heilbrun, the prosecution's forensic psychologist, and didn't waste time. First point: the evaluation happened about three years after the killings — and Heilbrun himself agreed that sooner is better for assessing someone's mental state after an offense. Second point: Heilbrun's direct experience treating mothers who killed their children came from roughly 44 years ago, four or five patients total. Not exactly current caseload material.Then Reddington opened the CV — about 70 pages of it — and read the gaps into the record. Plenty on juveniles, on prisoners reintegrating into society, on sexual abuse. Nothing on pregnancy. Nothing on postpartum depression or psychosis. Heilbrun confirmed he's coached both prosecution and defense on how to present expert testimony, but Reddington made the point that his actual career has run mostly through prosecutors and corrections. Heilbrun also testified he never met co-evaluator Avram Mack in person until they crossed paths at Tewksbury Hospital, and that his total contact with Clancy amounted to 10.5 hours spread across three days.Afterward, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Husband Patrick Clancy, out running errands that day, has since relocated to Manhattan.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Day 6 of the Keffe D murder trial brought the 2017 Death Row Chronicles recording into the courtroom — and one exchange between the interviewer and Duane Davis landed harder than any confession the jury has heard so far. Davis described the night Tupac Shakur was shot, named his nephew as the gunman, and discussed Sean Combs and money. He said Combs wanted Suge Knight "taken care of" and then ghosted him when the situation got hot. The defense fought to keep the recording out, arguing it contained references to other crimes. The judge admitted it with limiting instructions — every version of Davis telling this story chips away at the fiction defense. Prosecution witness Michael Dorsey, the filmmaker behind Murder Rap, testified about recording the interview on his own phone and later alerting Las Vegas police. His phone recording captured audio the official production recorder missed. Combs has denied any involvement and has never been charged in connection with the case. Listen Anywh

Lindsay Clancy, the 34-year-old Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, is back in Plymouth Superior Court, and this week the prosecution brought out its heaviest hitter yet. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and defense attorney Kevin Reddington is running an insanity defense built on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Monday got messy before the end. Reddington moved for a mistrial after "mortal sin" came up for the second time from the prosecution's side. Judge William Sullivan said no, but told jurors to strike anything about sin or religiosity from Dr. Kirk Heilbrun's testimony — and made it clear the prosecution needed to keep their own witness on a shorter leash. When Heilbrun, a forensic psychologist, came bac

Lindsay Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is on trial in Plymouth Superior Court on three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, accused of killing her children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She's pleaded not guilty, and attorney Kevin Reddington is running an insanity defense built on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. If direct examination was about Dr. Kirk Heilbrun's conclusions, cross was about his credentials — and Reddington went at them hard. He got Heilbrun to admit his evaluation of Clancy happened roughly three years after the killings, and got him to concede on the record that earlier is better when it comes to assessing someone's mental state after an offense. Not exactly a ringing endorsement of his own methodology. Heilbrun also testified he'd treated four or five women who'd killed their children — about 44 years ago. Reddi

The prosecution's rebuttal case in the Lindsay Clancy trial took an unexpected turn when its second expert witness handed the jury a motive rooted in love instead of premeditation. Kirk Heilbrun, a forensic psychologist who examined Clancy at Tewksbury Hospital over three days, testified that her account of hearing a commanding voice on the night of the killings is clinically inconsistent. The voice appeared for eighteen minutes and never returned. She reported no accompanying delusions and made no attempt to resist it. He called the psychosis theory "a convenient way of lessening your own culpability." His alternative: Clancy was suicidal and took her children with her because she couldn't stand the idea of them suffering without her. He used the forensic term "altruistic filicide" — killing your children out of love. The first words Clancy spoke to Patrick when he walked through the door were about her own death, not the voice. Then a prosecution witness mentioned Catholic doctrine a

The forensic psychologist who set off a firestorm in the courtroom on Monday will be back on the stand today. The judge ultimately ruled against a mistrial, but admonished the prosecution and instructed the jury to disregard Dr. Helibrun’s testimony about “mortal sin”. Testimony resumes today, first with Helibrun - and we can’t wait to hear how defense attorney Kevin Reddington handles any further questioning of him - and then with the state’s final rebuttal witness. We could see closing arguments as soon as Wednesday, and Lindsay Clancy’s fate should be in the hands of the jury by midweek. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Avram Mack, the psychiatrist prosecutors brought in to rebut the defense's insanity claim, spent Monday getting worked over by defense attorney Kevin Reddington in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy — the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children, 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan, with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and is mounting an insanity defense built on claims of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Reddington opened by dredging up prior cases where courts found Mack didn't have the credentials to testify — not exactly a confidence builder before he even got to the substance. Then came the number nobody likes saying out loud in a courtroom: several hundred thousand dollars a year, Mack's take from expert testimony work. Reddington had him define confirmatory bias, then asked if he had it evaluating Clancy. Mack said no. He testified he evaluated Clancy in 2026 — three years after the killings — armed beforehand with defense records, DCF files, and medical history, across two doctors and roughly eight hours of interviews plus testing. He also noted that Drs. Heilbrun, Resnick, and Zeizel landed on bipolar 2, another doctor said bipolar 1, and that postpartum psychosis isn't even in the DSM, so he wouldn't use the term as a diagnosis.Prosecutors still need Mack's testimony to hold up despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan.

The Lindsay Clancy murder trial hit a rough patch Monday for the prosecution, as its own rebuttal witness, psychiatrist Dr. Avram Mack, spent hours under cross-examination from defense attorney Kevin Reddington. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorneys are pursuing an insanity defense centered on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Reddington didn't ease in. He started with prior cases where courts had ruled Mack unqualified to testify, then moved to money — Mack testified he pulls in several hundred thousand dollars a year doing expert witness work. Asked to define confirmatory bias and then asked point-blank if he'd shown it evaluating Clancy, Mack said no. He testified he met with Clancy in 2026, three years removed from the killings, having already reviewed defense records, DCF documentation, and medical history — the evaluation itself ran roughly eight hours across two doctors and multiple days, including a full day of testing. He also acknowledged the diagnostic split in the case: Drs. Heilbrun, Resnick, and Zeizel diagnosed bipolar 2, another doctor diagnosed bipolar 1, and postpartum psychosis, he noted, isn't a recognized DSM diagnosis at all.Despite the rough cross, prosecutors are still expected to argue Clancy understood what she was doing regardless of her mental state. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan.

The prosecution spent Monday's redirect trying to put Dr. Avram Mack back together after Kevin Reddington's cross-examination left him bruised in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy — the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children, 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan, with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and is mounting an insanity defense built on claims of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Prosecutors used their redirect to walk Mack through something the defense hadn't dwelled on: that "postpartum onset" exists as a specifier within diagnoses like bipolar disorder and major depression, even if postpartum psychosis itself isn't a standalone DSM entry. It's a technical point, but it's the kind of technical point that can quietly undercut a defense theory without anyone raising their voice. Beyond that, the redirect stayed in the weeds — definitions of what "postpartum" actually covers clinically, more on Mack's qualifications, and other procedural cleanup. No bombshells here, just two sides fighting over the credibility of one witness inch by inch, Reddington working to keep the earlier damage intact, prosecutors working to patch it.It's not the most cinematic day of testimony, but it matters — juries remember whether an expert held up under pressure, and this was the prosecution's chance to make sure Mack's opinion still counts for something.

The prosecution rested after fourteen days and more than seventy witnesses. Before trial, the defense conceded that Lindsay Clancy killed her children. The prosecution's job was to prove she was sane and acting with premeditation when she did it. After three weeks, what they may have proven instead is how badly her medical providers failed her.Patrick Clancy, their first witness, testified he was never told not to leave Lindsay alone with the children and that he didn't know what psychosis was until after January 24th. The prosecution's own psychiatrist admitted under cross that she never met Lindsay in person across fourteen appointments.The defense psychologist has met with Lindsay more than sixty times and diagnosed her with bipolar disorder with postpartum psychosis. He testified she had no appreciation for the wrongfulness of her act. Lindsay's mother and mother-in-law both took the stand and described a woman begging for help that never came in the form she needed.Eric Faddis, defense attorney and former prosecutor, evaluates whether the prosecution accomplished what it needed to and where this jury is likely to land.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Dr. Kirk Heilbrun, a forensic psychologist called by the prosecution, took the stand today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her attorney Kevin Reddington is building an insanity defense around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Heilbrun evaluated Clancy three years after the killings, and testified she tended to underreport or minimize her own symptoms — which, coming from a rebuttal witness, is not a throwaway line. He didn't dispute that her suicide attempt was serious; he said the opposite, noting she remains on one-to-one suicide precautions at Tewksbury and is still considered at risk. What he disputed is the cause of the children's deat

Dr. Kirk Heilbrun, a forensic psychologist called as a prosecution rebuttal witness, spent an ho on the stand laying out a timeline that doesn't do the prosecution any favors in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy — the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children, 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan, with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and is mounting an insanity defense centered on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Heilbrun opened by explaining retention bias — the tendency to lean toward whichever side hired you for the evaluation — before detailing his own work: roughly 180 hours reviewing police records, medical records, court documents, and surveillance footage, plus 10.5 hours testing and interviewing Clancy and 1.5 hours in collateral interviews. He testifie

Monday's session in the Lindsay Clancy trial belonged to the defense, as attorney Kevin Reddington took apart prosecution rebuttal witness Dr. Avram Mack piece by piece. Clancy, the 34-year-old Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her defense rests on an insanity argument built around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Reddington's cross covered a lot of ground fast. He brought up past cases where Mack was found not credentialed enough to testify, then asked about money — Mack said expert testimony nets him several hundred thousand dollars a year. Reddington had him define confirmatory bias, then asked if he'd exhibited it evaluating Clancy; Mack said no. Mack testified his own evalua

Bryan Kohberger's defense and prosecutors both opposed an effort by attorney Shanon Gray, who represented Kaylee Goncalves' family, to escape the sweeping gag order imposed early in the case. Magistrate Judge Megan Marshall had initially barred prosecutors, defense lawyers, law enforcement and others involved in the prosecution from making public statements, and later expanded the restriction to attorneys representing victims, witnesses and their families. Gray challenged that expansion as unconstitutionally broad and vague, arguing that the Goncalves family members themselves were not parties to the criminal case and remained free to speak publicly, so he should likewise be permitted to relay their views to the media. Prosecutor Bill Thompson pushed back by stressing that members of the Goncalves family were potential witnesses at trial or sentencing, giving the court a legitimate interest in limiting statements that could affect the proceedings.Kohberger's defense also opposed Gray's appeal and argued that the gag order was neither vague nor unconstitutional. Defense attorney Jay Logsdon maintained that courts had long been permitted to restrict extrajudicial statements by potential witnesses and their attorneys when necessary to protect a defendant's right to a fair trial. He also pointed out that the Goncalves family itself remained free to express its own opinions publicly, meaning Gray did not need a special exemption simply to communicate their views. The dispute became part of the much larger battle over publicity surrounding the case, with Kohberger's lawyers repeatedly arguing that the enormous and often sensational media coverage threatened to poison the jury pool. The central conflict therefore pitted the family's and media's First Amendment interests against Kohberger's constitutional right to an impartial jury, with both the prosecution and defense arguing that Gray's role as counsel for potential witnesses justified keeping him within the court's restrictions.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Three weeks of prosecution testimony in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial ended with more questions about the DA's courtroom conduct than about the defendant's guilt. A prosecutor asked Lindsay's former mother-in-law about mortal sin. The judge struck it. A prosecutor asked Lindsay's mother why she didn't have her daughter committed. A State Police investigator acknowledged the prosecution floated a theory that the defense psychologist coached Lindsay to claim she heard voices.The prosecution told this jury Lindsay faked a suicide attempt. She's paralyzed from the waist down. Their own psychiatrist saw her fourteen times by telehealth and never met her in person.Eric Faddis, defense attorney and former prosecutor, evaluates the prosecution's conduct and where this case goes next.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Fourteen days. More than seventy witnesses. The prosecution rested its case — and the defense may have been building theirs the entire time. Every prosecution witness who personally knew Lindsay testified under cross that she was a wonderful mother. The defense psychologist has met with Lindsay sixty times and told the jury she was psychotic. Lindsay's hospital records say “critically ill, postpartum psychosis” while a hospital psychiatrist said she was “calm and cooperative.”The defense admitted Lindsay killed her children before trial. The only question is criminal responsibility.

Days Three & Four of the Tupac murder trial In this episode, Jim break down Days 3 and 4 of the Nevada murder trial. On Day 3, former FBI Special Agent Wade Lee takes the stand and walks jurors through Davis's 1990s drug-trafficking case, federal proffer sessions, and early statements about gangs, Death Row Records, and the Tupac shooting. Former LAPD Detective Daryn Dupree follows, detailing a critical interview in which Davis allegedly made a veiled reference to the killing while investigators were focused on the murder of the Notorious B.I.G. Day 4 shifts to the heart of the prosecution's case: hours of Davis's 2008 recorded interview with detectives. Jurors hear the man himself describe riding in the white Cadillac, handing over a .40-caliber Glock, and claiming his nephew Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson fired the shots that killed Tupac. A reluctant gang-affiliated witness also appears under subpoena, underscoring the deep street code of silence that has surrounded this case for decades. Jim unpacks the key moments, the conflicting accounts, and why the prosecution is leaning so heavily on Davis's own past statements as the trial of one of hip-hop's most enduring mysteries moves forward.Timestamps:00:27 Trial Begins and Testimony Opens03:05 Proffer Details and Drug Case 11:39Biggie Task Force Evidence19:52 Gang Rivalries and Mall Fight27:19 Recorded Confession Emerges31:02 Zip Martin and the Missing Money32:40 Looking at the Defense Attorney For commercial free early releases, bonus episodes and more! https://www.patreon.com/exposedpodcastfilesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/exposed-scandalous-files-of-the-elite--6073723/support.
