True Crime Today | Daily True Crime News & Interviews

The Lindsay Clancy trial testimony started with a father describing his three children to a jury, and ended with a prosecutor reading him pharmacy counts off nine bottles. Patrick Clancy was the Commonwealth's very first witness in Plymouth Superior Court, and the afternoon did not go the way an opening witness usually goes. Prosecutors asked him to describe Cora, Dawson, and Callan. He needed a moment before he could. Then the questions turned to prescriptions, and the state entered a bag of pill bottles into the record. Seven gone from one. Six out of thirty from another. One bottle that had never been opened. The prosecutor asked him point blank whether he understood that a lot had been prescribed and very little had been taken. He agreed, and then said the context was important. Here is why that exchange is the whole trial in miniature. The state wants those counts to prove she cannot blame medication she was not swallowing. The defense wants those same counts to prove that prescriptions were flying out of multiple offices with nobody checking what was actually happening to the woman receiving them. Same exhibit, two completely different cases. This episode walks the counts, the September conversation about a prescription that turned out to have been filled a day earlier, the family videos the state used to argue she was fine, and the reason a jury may hear that footage differently than prosecutors intend. We also cover what Patrick Clancy said about telehealth appointments, what he never got told about his wife's hospital stay, and the number he gave investigators that sent him looking for a lawyer.

The second half of Patrick Clancy's cross-examination played out today in the trial of his wife, Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling their 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. She's pleaded not guilty, with defense attorney Kevin Reddington arguing severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication drove her actions.
Reddington used the second round to hammer home themes from earlier in the day. Patrick reaffirmed that Lindsay dreaded going back to work, driven by a fear of being away from her kids rather than anything resembling detachment. He was also asked again about her medication — and confirmed once more that the limited number of pills she took from each prescription came down to physician direction, not her own decision to cut back.
Repetition is a strategy here, not an accident. Reddington isn't introducing new information — he's making sure the jury can't walk away from this stretch of testimony without absorbing the "doctor's orders" framing.
Prosecutors, for their part, still have to convince the jury she understood the nature of her actions that day. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.

Neither of these cases will ever answer the question that matters most to the families in them.
Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke, a retired FBI Special Agent with twenty-one years reading behavior under pressure, cover the Lindsay Clancy trial openings and Bryan Kohberger's petition to withdraw his guilty plea.
On Clancy, this works through Patrick Clancy's testimony about the last ordinary day, including the photos traded that morning and his line that she was having one of her best days. It also covers the hospital stay, and the discharge he testified he never knew she had asked for. Cora, Dawson and Callan died in January 2023. Criminal responsibility is the only live question, and the Commonwealth owns that burden.
On Kohberger, this covers the handwritten petition filed in Ada County District Court, his claim of actual innocence, and his assertion that he was convinced to falsely confess. It also covers the letter Latah County prosecutors sent the families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, promising the plea would spare them decades of post-conviction appeals. There was never a trial and there has never been a motive on the record.
In Plymouth, a chain of licensed professionals made every call and faces nothing. In Boise, an office traded away a trial and guaranteed an ending it could not deliver. One family will never hear why. The other is watching a man they were told was finished file paperwork to start it all again.
The Clancy trial has weeks to run and the Kohberger petition is still pending, so neither of these ends here. Subscribe to True Crime Today for the next development in each case.

Patrick Clancy took the stand again today — this time under cross-examination from defense attorney Kevin Reddington — in the murder trial of his wife, Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling their 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. She's pleaded not guilty, and Reddington is arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication at the time.
Where the prosecution used Patrick to lay out a timeline, the defense used him to humanize it. He testified that Lindsay dreaded returning to work — not out of ambition or obligation, but because she couldn't stand being separated from the children. Reddington then walked him through her mental health after each of the three births, and got him to confirm something specific: the reason she only took a handful of pills from each prescription wasn't resistance to treatment. It was physician instruction.
That distinction is the whole ballgame for an insanity defense. "She wasn't compliant" and "she was compliant with a shifting set of doctor's orders" tell two very different stories to a jury.
Prosecutors still need to convince that jury she knew right from wrong that day. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to last several weeks.

Nobody looking hard at the Nolan Wells case is being paranoid, and anyone who says otherwise has not looked at where this happened. Mississippi earned every ounce of the suspicion aimed at it, and it paid for that in full.
Rasheem Carter was twenty-five. His remains were found in the woods south of Taylorsville in November 2022, and the very next day the sheriff's department announced it had no reason to believe foul play was involved. The state medical examiner's office never could establish a cause of death. Months later that same sheriff told reporters he had not actually ruled out homicide.
In Rankin County, six former law officers went into a home without a warrant in January 2023 and were later sentenced to a combined total measured in decades, after court documents described them planting evidence to bury what they had done.
So when Nolan Xavier Wells goes to Horn Island on the Fourth of July at eighteen years old and comes back in a body bag with a sealed autopsy attached, the question writes itself.
But look closely at what those two Mississippi failures actually were. In one, a sheriff talked, reaching a public conclusion in about a day. In the other, officers wrote down a story that was not true. Neither failure was silence. Both were certainty, arriving far too early.
That distinction changes how you read everything happening in Jackson County, including a viral video that millions have misread, a statute nobody is discussing, and one moment where officials in this case genuinely did speak too soon.
