As a virtual juror who’s been watching from the beginning, my prediction is the majority find her not guilty by reason of insanity, but one or two members of the jury won’t concede to that.
I’m starting to worry about these shady ass prosecutors though. Had me heated yesterday over Dr. Laposata’s cross. We’ll see.
Day 16 took a really unexpected turn today. Court came back from lunch and instead of continuing testimony, the judge announced they would be taking a recess until tomorrow and specifically told everyone not to speculate about what may have happened.
Obviously that wording immediately caught my attention.
Without presenting anything as fact, what do you think could cause a trial to suddenly stop for the rest of the day like this? Witness issue? Juror issue? Something with evidence? Something completely routine?
Curious what everyone else thought when they heard the judge say that, especially anyone who has been following the trial closely.
With my very little knowledge of the system… the Lindsay Clancy case is to determine whether there is a beyond a reasonable doubt she killed her children. What I feel like people don’t understand and maybe I don’t either is that he could very well be charged but it will have to be after this case, right?
I know most of us have been sad about the changes made to Court TV, but I must say….this morning, right now, the hosts are absolutely awesome! Just ripping the dingdong Prosecutors apart and I am very much enjoying it 😂
I've listened to every day of the Lindsay Clancy trial. Through all the doctors-- psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, etc... we have not heard from one very important person... the CVS pharmacist. Isn't it their job to have an overall picture of everything a person is prescribed? Did all of these Rx's not raise a red flag for this person to at least have a conversation?
The prosecution just said "all of these (medication) bottles came from the same CVS," which means one, maybe two pharmacists filled them all. I want to hear from THAT doctor, because IMO, they are just as negligent as everyone else.
Absolutely unbelievable, the prosecutor asks the MIL "you know murder is a sin right?" Judge did not even give Reddington a second to object before calling a sidebar.
WTH was she thinking? This is the MIL with dead children and you ask a question like that?
I can't even watch anymore of this trial, these prosecutors are so bad, snippy, and clearly don't understand anything about mental health.
LOVE Reddington though...
RE: Linsay Clancy case
Im sorry (not really) but I think we can all agree the prosecution is doing a horrible job of this case, and not only because she's against an world class defense lawyer.. just objectively an unethical, irrelevant, bad job. Who chooses the prosecution? Does the state only habe one lawyer and they're just stuck with her, i cant imagine that being the case? Do they bid on who does the case or random assign? I just cant believe they chose someone who's again and again showed unethical harmful and incompetent practice... how does that work in the USA/MASS?
She’s just off the stand(well zoom)- what did you all think of her testimony? And the cross examination?
I get that the DA pointed out she didn’t physically observe Lindsay’s head injuries & can’t 100% know, but I’ve not seen the DA be so passionate with ANY of their own witnesses in the case in chief.
What’s y’all’s thoughts?
(Oh I did a google search asking if it’s “normal” to have no head injuries~significant~ for someone who had a Jefferson fracture & it said it’s very normal, I’ll admit I didn’t do any in depth research though)
Does anyone know how we can support her? I know there is a gofundme for her parents, but is there a way we can send her letters, etc?
This Dr Condie is cringe and the questioning with Reddington seems frustrating. I’m surprised the judge allows him to keep interrupting the witness like he is. But this witness is a dud.
This is flooding back memories from when Tupac was murdered.
I still think Sean or whatever his name is now orchestrated it- but I’d love your thoughts!
Hopefully, the trial will begin to address the central issue in the case once forensic psychiatrists start giving evidence.
The trial has been slow and longer than necessary, with a lot of unfocused evidence. So far, Dr. Jhilam Biswas, who assessed Lindsay at Brigham and Women's Hospital, is the only forensic psychiatrist that has testified; she reported no psychotic features.
At this stage in the proceedings, it seems like the prosecution has a strong case against Lindsay Clancy, including rebutting her defence. But this case is far from over.
Despite the evidence, Lindsay's lawyer, Kevin Reddington, has been doing a stellar job in front of the judge and jury. It’s an absolute masterclass. Day in, day out.
On the flip side, the prosecution might be turning the jury off. Despite the strength of the evidence, they often come across as overly aggressive and overly invested. This might just end up alienating the jury rather than convincing them. Sometimes I wonder if prosecutor actually wants to get in the witnessbox and start testifying.
Is the prosecution overplaying their hand?
I’ve been in the field for 30 yrs, so I look at all facets of a case before coming to a conclusion. Many of you don’t and it shows. But please attack me so I can block you!
*edit: Clancy DIVORCE ⬆️
I’m probably grasping at straws here, but does anyone know anything regarding the Clancy divorce? I’m so curious as to when he approached her about wanting a divorce. I totally understand why he would, but I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around 1) how hard that had to have been on him; 2) how much of a blow it was to her - she was probably still on suicide watch due to the incident, I can only imagine him presenting a divorce crushed her mental state even more; 3) how much time after the incident until he decided to present the divorce papers; and 4) given her mental state, would he have spoke with her doctors and nurses prior, to set up a plan to present the divorce at the most optimal time? I’m not sure if any of these details have been discussed publicly, just thoughts I have going on in my head and curious to see what anyone else may think.
Someone mentioned on a Facebook thread they noticed she had a sly like grin on her face during a heated exchange between her attorney and Dr. Tufts. I was curious if anyone else noticed this? Would be interested in what a body language analyst would have to say if this is true....
CNN just interviewed a woman who experienced PP psychosis and it's really interesting to see he perspective as someone who's come out the other side. When asked, she said she never shared all of her symptoms to her providers or her husband because she thought they were among the group that was out to get her. She was involuntarily committed to a mental health facility where medication was forced upon her, which sounds extreme, but in the end she recovered and is now thriving. If Ms. Clancy's treatment would've gone that way her kids would still be alive.
Shut. Up. You're telling me this defendant's last name is ***Killins?***
