    Lindsay Clancy: The Support Outside the Courthouse

    A remarkable scene unfolded outside the Lindsay Clancy trial today as hundreds of supporters gathered in Plymouth, Massachusetts, many dressed in pink and cheering as Clancy arrived at court. In this special, episode, Billy speaks with Dina, a longtime Massachusetts court watcher and organizer who previously supported Karen Read and is now part of the growing public movement surrounding Lindsay Clancy. The conversation focuses on why so many women say the case has become about more than guilt or innocence. They discuss postpartum depression, postpartum psychosis, psychiatric medications, the failures of the mental-health system and the repeated attempts Lindsay reportedly made to seek help before the deaths of her three children. Billy and Dina also discuss defense attorney Kevin Reddington, the public reaction to his handling of the case, criticism of the prosecution and the intense debate surrounding the medical care Lindsay received. Billy then recaps key testimony from Day 17, including hospital chaplain Sheila Kavanaugh, who described her extensive contact with Lindsay after the deaths and testified about Lindsay’s grief, mental state and references to hearing a male voice. A different kind of Hot Mics episode — less about courtroom play-by-play and more about the movement forming outside the courthouse and the larger national conversation this case has ignited about women, motherhood and mental health.

    ABC News Legal Analyst Matt Murphy Calls The Shot On The Clancy Case!

    In a Hot Mics EXCLUSIVE, ABC News legal analyst and former homicide prosecutor and ABC Legal Analyst, Matt Murphy joins Billy for a deep dive into the Lindsay Clancy trial — and makes a major prediction about the verdict. Murphy breaks down the prosecution's case, Kevin Reddington's defense strategy, the state's unusual legal standard for criminal responsibility, and why he believes the jury is likely to find Clancy not criminally responsible for the deaths of her three children. Murphy spent 17 years prosecuting homicide cases in the Orange County District Attorney's Office and brings a veteran prosecutor's perspective to one of the most closely watched trials in America. At the center of the case is the question of Lindsay Clancy's mental state. The defense argues that Clancy suffered a psychotic break amid severe postpartum mental illness and extensive psychiatric treatment. Billy and Matt also examine: Kevin Reddington's courtroom strategy and why Murphy believes Clancy's defense attorney has delivered a masterful performance. The prosecution's handling of the case and the challenges prosecutors face proving Lindsay Clancy was criminally responsible. Postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis, Lindsay's psychiatric treatment and the numerous medications prescribed before the deaths. Testimony from psychiatrist Dr. Jennifer Tufts and Reddington's aggressive cross-examination of the medical professionals who treated Clancy. The controversy surrounding Patrick Clancy, what the forensic evidence actually shows, and the online theories questioning his actions. Why Murphy says forensic evidence undermines claims that Patrick killed the children — while acknowledging serious questions about why Lindsay was left alone with them after disclosing thoughts of harming them. The Apple Watch, Lindsay's body temperature, DNA evidence and other details that have fueled intense social-media speculation. When online true-crime sleuthing helps solve cases — and when internet theories can go dangerously wrong. The evidence overwhelmingly establishes that Lindsay Clancy killed her children. The legal question for this jury is something very different — was she criminally responsible under Massachusetts law given her mental condition at the time? Billy and Matt also turn to the Nick Reiner case, comparing California's much tougher insanity standard with the law Lindsay Clancy faces in Massachusetts. Murphy explains why he sees the two cases very differently and discusses the challenge facing defense attorney Alan Jackson. Matt Murphy is a former Orange County homicide prosecutor, ABC News legal analyst, trial attorney and co-host with Mark Geragos of In the Well on the MK True Crime network.

    Is The Tell's Artwork Stolen? & Judge Fruin In His Own Words

    Amy Griffin’s legal fight takes another turn — and a California judge’s ruling may have just given us the clearest look yet at how the court views the allegations surrounding The Tell and is the artwork from The Tell stolen? Today on Hot Mics with Billy Bush, Billy goes inside Judge William Fruin’s ruling in the Jane Doe v. Amy Griffin case, including the four causes of action that survived Griffin’s attempt to strike the lawsuit. The ruling examines competing timelines, witness declarations, the identity of “Claudia,” and specific details Jane Doe alleges were taken from her life and incorporated into Griffin’s bestselling memoir. We also break down a new filing in the related Nevada litigation. Attorney Christopher Keller argues that the surviving California claims substantially overlap with Amy Griffin’s Nevada case against Joleen Altum — potentially creating duplicative proceedings and conflicting determinations in two states. Plus: new questions surrounding the mysterious “real Claudia,” what Billy is hearing about Griffin’s longtime friendship with James, and the evidence Judge Fruin found significant — including the 2019 meeting with Jane Doe and the court’s conclusion that Griffin’s earlier evidence lacked some of the specific details that later appeared in The Tell. Then Hot Mics turns to the rest of the day’s biggest culture and political stories: Jemele Hill fires back at Enes Kanter Freedom amid the escalating debate over transgender athletes and the WNBA; Britney Spears sparks new concerns; a judge temporarily halts part of Zohran Mamdani’s NYC pied-à-terre tax rollout amid a lawsuit over the publication of a massive property-owner list; and Billy weighs in on CNN’s Scott Jennings.
