True Crime Today | Daily True Crime News & Interviews

Five verdict options. One outcome that might not exist. Lindsay Clancy's jury has been weighing not guilty, not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility, first-degree murder, second-degree murder, and manslaughter — and defense trial attorney Bob Motta, who sat through all five weeks of testimony, says the split between them matters less than people think. 
Motta walks through what each verdict actually means: prison with no parole under some outcomes, commitment to a locked psychiatric facility with no maximum sentence under others. He points to Andrea Yates, who drowned her five children in 2001 and was found not guilty by reason of insanity in 2006 — and who has remained committed ever since, never released. Lindsay Clancy has been at Tewksbury State Hospital since the day her three children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan, died, paralyzed from the waist down after her own suicide attempt on January 24, 2023. She hasn't reported hearing voices since. He also addresses the malpractice suits Lindsay and her husband Patrick filed against her medical providers, and whether the criminal case changes those. 
Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis picks up where a deadlock leaves off. If this jury hangs, DA Timothy Cruz likely seeks a retrial — Massachusetts just did exactly that in the Karen Read case. But there's another option: Lindsay Clancy could waive her right to a jury entirely and let one judge, instead of twelve laypeople, referee the fight between dueling psychiatrists. Faddis also revisits the bifurcation motion Kevin Reddington already lost — a hung jury may be the argument that gets it granted the second time around, splitting guilt from responsibility entirely. 
Two attorneys, one impossible case, and a defendant whose future may already be decided by someone else's.

Lindsay Clancy admitted she killed her three children. That fact isn't on trial anymore — what happens to her next is. Nine women and three men began deliberating her case at Plymouth Superior Court on August 27 and spent more than three and a half hours without reaching a decision. Five verdict options are on the table: first-degree murder, second-degree murder, manslaughter, not criminally responsible, or not guilty, each carrying a drastically different outcome for a mother whose defense hinges entirely on postpartum psychosis. A not-criminally-responsible verdict doesn't mean freedom — it means indefinite commitment to a state psychiatric facility. Andrea Yates got that same verdict twenty years ago and is still hospitalized. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down what each possible outcome actually looks like, and whether a jury made mostly of mothers can bring itself to send another mother to prison for life. At the same time, a separate story has spread online — thousands of people convinced Lindsay's ex-husband Patrick is somehow the real culprit, despite her own admission and surveillance footage placing him outside the home. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta, who watched Patrick testify from inside the courtroom, addresses whether any of that theory holds up. Both Lindsay and Patrick have filed separate lawsuits against her medical providers, setting up a civil case that could contradict whatever this jury ultimately decides.

Bryan Kohberger pleaded guilty to four murders in Ada County on July 2, 2025 — Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, Ethan Chapin — and gave up his right to appeal in the process. Thirteen months later, he filed a handwritten petition from jail claiming his own attorneys coerced that confession, promised prison conditions that never materialized, and buried evidence, including hair found in Ethan Chapin's hand that was excluded as Kohberger's but never DNA tested. The Goncalves family called him a narcissist. Prosecutors asked the judge to throw the petition out without a hearing. He refused. Judge Steven Hippler has scheduled a status conference for June 3, 2027, and a full evidentiary hearing for June 17. Here's what makes this case impossible to predict: the digital forensics expert Kohberger's own defense team hired, Sy Ray, went public and said investigators actually missed additional incriminating cellphone geolocation data placing Kohberger near the crime scene before the murders. Ray told reporters he's confident Kohberger would be convicted all over again — and that the death penalty should be restored. Meanwhile, two new attorneys have stepped into the case. Greg Rauch was appointed in August 2026 and hadn't read the file or spoken to his client yet. Jason Goldman told PEOPLE magazine the public shouldn't assume it knows this case, in a prosecution that's already cost Idaho taxpayers more than eight million dollars. What happens when Kohberger's former lawyers are sworn in to answer for all of it?

The Netflix documentary “Death of the Pastor's Wife” became one of the biggest streaming hits in the world within days — and it traces a timeline that starts long before Mica Miller ever became a pastor's wife. A February 2024 police report has her telling officers that pastor John-Paul Miller, fourteen years older and already married, had been pursuing her since she was ten. His attorney denies it. What's documented after that: JP officiated her first wedding at eighteen, hired her as his personal assistant, began an affair while she was babysitting his own kids, and married her himself in 2017 — making her his wife, his employee, and the worship leader at Solid Rock Church, all at once. Friends allege he demanded compliance from her multiple times daily and wouldn't let her sleep if she refused, and that he pressured her into testosterone that damaged her singing voice. Family attorney Regina Ward alleges he put her on his own lithium prescription without her knowledge. Siblings allege an involuntary hospitalization came next, and that while Mica was locked inside, JP seized her car, phone, and laptop. That's where federal prosecutors say the story turns criminal: they allege an intimate photo from that laptop was posted online without her consent. JP has pleaded not guilty to federal cyberstalking charges and making false statements to investigators, with trial scheduled for October 2026. He has since remarried. Mica Francis Miller was thirty years old.

Twelve jurors. Five weeks of testimony. Not one verdict.
Lindsay Clancy's murder trial ended the way a lot of people watching this case predicted it might — in a deadlock. The Duxbury, Massachusetts mother, 34, was charged with three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation in the January 24, 2023 deaths of her children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — allegedly strangled with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home. She pleaded not guilty. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington built his case on an insanity defense, arguing severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. After the killings, Clancy allegedly tried to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window; she's been paralyzed from the waist down since. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan, where he's spoken openly about her mental health.
The jury — nine women, three men — deliberated more than 39 hours across seven days and told Judge William F. Sullivan three times they were deadlocked. Reddington tried to pull a holdout juror off the panel at the eleventh hour, then took the fight to the state's highest court when Sullivan wouldn't budge. The court denied it. Sullivan had no choice left — he declared a mistrial.
Now it's on Plymouth County District Attorney Tim Cruz to decide whether Massachusetts tries this case again with twelve new people in the box. He's not deciding today. What's already on the books: a status and motion hearing September 29. The case isn't closed. It's on pause.
