    Lindsay Clancy Case: What the ADA Uncovered About the Voices Nobody Else Heard About

    Lindsay Clancy, 34, is on trial in Plymouth Superior Court on three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation for the January 24, 2023, deaths of her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months — allegedly strangled with exercise resistance bands in the family's Duxbury home. She has pleaded not guilty; defense attorney Kevin Reddington is arguing an insanity defense built on postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. The prosecution's cross of defense psychologist Dr. Paul Zeizel this week wasn't subtle, and it wasn't meant to be. They opened by questioning whether his prior forensic evaluations were done on behalf of the Commonwealth or the defense, then put a dollar figure on the table — about $300,000 a year in fees for his consulting work — the kind of number that's hard to un-hear. From there, the prosecution walked through a detail that lands harder than it sounds: Zeizel let Clancy use his phone early in their work together to call her husband, and when she got him on the line, she didn't ask about her kids. They also pressed on the voices Clancy reportedly told her husband, family, and a hospital chaplain she was hearing — voices that, according to the prosecution, never came up with any of her other psychological providers. Then came the paper trail. Prosecutors read from Tewksbury Hospital records documenting her presentation on some of the hardest days imaginable — her children's birthdays, the anniversary of their deaths — describing her as pleasant, engaged in activities, compliant with medication, and showing no self-injurious behavior. The cross ended with the prosecution accusing Zeizel of bias, calling Clancy "his patient" rather than a forensic subject. Patrick Clancy was out running errands when it happened and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues for several more weeks.Links 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 Trial: Defense Psychologist Says She Had No Idea Her Actions Were Wrong

    Lindsay Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is standing trial in Plymouth Superior Court for the deaths of her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan. Prosecutors allege she strangled them with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, then allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is mounting an insanity defense built on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Wednesday's testimony picked up right where the defense wanted it to. Clinical psychologist Dr. Paul Zeizel, called by Reddington, told jurors Clancy was gripped by intrusive thoughts so persistent she believed people could hear them — and that if they did, her children would be taken from her. She called a suicide hotline twice in December and was turned away because she didn't have a plan, which apparently was the bar. Zeizel didn't sugarcoat what these thoughts do to a person: they don't ease up, they don't take breaks, and by January, his testimony went, they'd escalated into her mind telling her to kill herself. He also made a point jurors will have to sit with — that someone can be in psychosis and still function well enough to get through a day. After extensive testing, Zeizel says he found no psychopathy, but did find bipolar disorder with postpartum psychosis, and no indication she understood the wrongness of what she was doing. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands when it happened and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial is expected to run several weeks.Links 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 Put Three Witnesses Against Seventy

    The prosecution rested in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial after fourteen days. The defense called three witnesses that same afternoon. Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke, a retired FBI special agent who ran the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, examine what comes next.Paula Musgrove testified that Lindsay texted her in October 2022 saying she was sick and something was wrong. She drove from Connecticut to Duxbury and kept returning for months. She told the jury Lindsay was afraid to drive, afraid the school would notice, and convinced the medications were destroying her mind.The prosecution's medical witnesses all said they never saw signs of psychosis. Under cross, none had treated postpartum psychosis before. The defense's psychiatric experts are coming next — the ones who will tell the jury whether Lindsay could understand what she was doing or control her actions.Dreeke examines the jury's state after absorbing the prosecution's case, whether three afternoon witnesses can shift the frame, and what happens when the experts on both sides give the jury contradictory opinions about the same woman's mind.

    Lindsay Clancy's Doctor Prescribed Her 12 Meds By Video

    Fourteen days of prosecution testimony in the Lindsay Clancy trial at Plymouth Superior Court produced more than seventy witnesses. Tony Brueski and retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke examine the prosecution's case and what the jury is likely carrying after hearing it.The prosecution led with Patrick Clancy, the children's father. He described a confusing picture — a wife who was having her best day and a wife who had told him about intrusive thoughts about harming the children. Prosecutors played the 911 call. The courtroom stopped functioning. Then the stipulation took the question of who off the table entirely.The medical witnesses became the trial's pivot point. Dr. Jennifer Tufts, a psychiatrist who issued twelve of Lindsay's thirty prescriptions in four months, never met her patient face to face. Rebecca Jollotta, a psychiatric nurse practitioner, never consulted records from another clinic treating Lindsay at the same time. Neither one knew the full medical picture. Reddington's cross-examination made that undeniable.Dreeke reads the behavioral signals from a jury that heard the worst night of a family's life and a healthcare system that may have made it inevitable.

    Kohberger's Own Evaluation Made THIS Finding About Him

    Bryan Kohberger's unsealed neuropsychological evaluation is the most revealing document in the case, and it has nothing to do with the legal fight. Dr. Rachel Lawson Orr spent six sessions over three months documenting behavioral patterns that Kohberger's own family confirmed had been present for years. Restricted facial expression. Absent social smiling. Conversations refocused back onto himself. Impulsive tendencies. Jokes carried past the point of engagement. Orr diagnosed him with eight conditions, including four previously undisclosed: developmental coordination disorder, depression, anorexia nervosa, and opioid use disorder from a teenage heroin addiction. She noted that Kohberger has met the criteria for autism spectrum disorder since childhood. His parents and sisters told Orr they had tried extensive social coaching for years. It hadn't worked. Forum posts attributed to Kohberger at sixteen describe the same pattern in his own words: no emotion, depersonalization, disconnection from his family, and a belief that the condition made him smarter. Orr's central finding ties the portrait together: "overall poor" insight. The clinical term for a man who can't see himself the way everyone else sees him.

    Clancy, Mangione and Alex Murdaugh — Three Cases and Not One Went as Planned

    Lindsay Clancy's providers never talked to each other. Luigi Mangione confessed to murder and was convicted of stalking. Alex Murdaugh's prosecutor found out about evidence in his own case from the opposing counsel. Jennifer Coffindaffer, a retired FBI Special Agent, joins Tony Brueski to cover all three cases in a single conversation. The Clancy trial at Plymouth Superior Court has entered its third week. The testimony has shown four providers prescribing thirteen medications without any coordination. Clancy searched "hallucinations" and "intrusive" on her phone in the days before the killings. She jumped from a window afterward and is permanently paralyzed. The clinical research puts the infanticide rate for postpartum psychosis at four percent. Coffindaffer examines whether planning and psychosis can coexist and what the provider failures tell an investigator. Mangione pleaded guilty in federal court to two stalking counts after telling the judge he killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. He posed as a billion-dollar investor to locate the conference. His defense filed a double jeopardy motion within hours to block the state murder case. Since December 2024, he has avoided terrorism charges, a federal murder conviction, and the death penalty. Coffindaffer covers what the timeline of dropped charges looks like from an investigative standpoint. At Murdaugh's pretrial hearing, the defense raised a potential Allendale County weapons connection the prosecution had never heard of. The judge ordered independent DNA testing on Maggie Murdaugh's fingernail evidence and moved the retrial out of the Colleton County circuit entirely. Coffindaffer covers what the hearing says about SLED. Lindsay Clancy and Alex Murdaugh have pleaded not guilty. All individuals are presumed innocent.

    Lindsay Clancy Trial: Her Psychologist Reveals the Voice She Says Ordered Her to Kill

    Dr. Paul Zeizel, Lindsay Clancy's longtime clinical psychologist, took the stand today in the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother's murder trial — and gave jurors the closest thing yet to Clancy's own account of what happened inside that Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy is accused of strangling her three children, 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan, with exercise resistance bands. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorney Kevin Reddington is mounting an insanity defense built on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Zeizel testified he'd seen Clancy more than 40 times before that day. He wasn't allowed near her in the surgical ICU until a court order got him in at 12:30 p.m. on February 4 — by then she was handcuffed to the bed, two state troopers posted outside the door. He said she didn't know where she was or what day it was, but she knew her own name, and she remembered the killings, faintly, like something seen through fog. He let her use his phone to call her husband Patrick — twice, the first time going unanswered — and she told Patrick she loved him, then said a male voice had ordered her to kill their children and then herself. Zeizel didn't think she was lying. He also testified that roughly 80% of people experiencing psychosis report hearing voices. Clancy allegedly attempted suicide afterward by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Patrick Clancy has since relocated to Manhattan. Zeizel's testimony resumes Wednesday. Trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court before Judge William F. Sullivan.

    Mangione Admitted the Killing and His Lawyers Did This

    Luigi Mangione told a federal judge he shot Brian Thompson in Manhattan and Thompson died. He said he knew it was illegal. He described stalking the UnitedHealthcare CEO to an investor conference, printing a weapon, and traveling across state lines to carry out the killing. There was no plea agreement. Within hours, his defense team filed a motion that could end the state murder case entirely. New York's double jeopardy law says a defendant can't be prosecuted twice for the same conduct. Mangione's lawyers argue the federal guilty plea now blocks the September 8 state trial on second-degree murder charges. The Manhattan DA's office is prepared to fight the motion. Justice Gregory Carro will decide whether the state case moves forward. The federal sentencing guidelines suggest 24 to 30 years, but the judge isn't bound by them. Prosecutors are seeking life. Sentencing is December 18. This episode traces the full arc: Mangione's weeks of planning, his arrest at a McDonald's in Pennsylvania, the terrorism charges thrown out in September 2025, the death penalty dismissed in January 2026, and the open plea that landed with no deal attached. It also examines UnitedHealthcare's claim denial rates, the AI algorithm that replaced clinical judgment, the voluntary industry pledges that produced no measurable reform, and the defamation law firm the company hired to manage the fallout. Thompson was 50 years old, a father of two, and was walking to work when Mangione shot him from behind. His family called the plea an important step toward justice and asked the court to make the sentence match the crime.
