True Crime Today | Daily True Crime News & Interviews

A month before the killings, Lindsay Clancy's handwriting stopped looking like handwriting. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington showed the jury her journal entries from December 2022 and called them chicken scratches — proof, he argued, that her mind was already unraveling before anyone outside her house noticed.  Reddington built his case around a chart too: lorazepam, sertraline, hydroxyzine, buspirone, trazodone, prescription after prescription piled onto a new mother by providers who never once compared notes. The defense's final witness, forensic psychiatrist Phillip Resnick — who evaluated Andrea Yates in her own case decades ago — told this Plymouth County jury Lindsay Clancy was clearly psychotic when she killed Cora, Dawson, and Callan.  The prosecution's own experts complicated their case. Forensic psychologist Kirk Heilbrun told jurors this was a serious suicide attempt accompanied by killing her children out of love, because Clancy couldn't bear to leave them behind. Forensic psychiatrist Gregory Saathoff, under defense questioning, agreed the prosecution's opening statement had minimized what Clancy was actually experiencing — and flagged what he called significant inconsistencies in how she described the voice that told her to kill them.  ADA Jennifer Sprague's closing argued something colder: that Clancy made a rational choice, that her children were the only thing keeping her from her own death, and that she left them in the basement and went upstairs to finish what she'd started.  The jury spent three and a half hours deliberating on their first day and went home without a verdict. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer and criminal defense attorney Bob Motta sit down with Tony Brueski to pick apart a prosecution case that may have undercut itself.

A Las Vegas jury convicted Duane “Keffe D” Davis of first-degree murder in Tupac Shakur's killing in about three hours — built entirely on Davis's own words. A 2008 federal proffer. A 2009 police interview. A 2017 documentary. A 2019 memoir he called the real truth. No weapon. No Cadillac. No phone records. No surveillance. Just a man who couldn't stop talking, for eighteen straight years, until a jury decided that talking was enough to convict him. His defense tried the opposite play: almost two hours in closing arguments insisting every one of those statements — to cops, to cameras, to his own publisher — was a lie. It didn't work. Davis is facing life in prison, has told the judge he'll appeal, and asked for his phone and laptop back before he goes. Here's where it gets bigger than one man's sentence. Davis is the same source who's named Sean “Diddy” Combs in this murder since 2008, alleging a million-dollar payoff routed through a Harlem contact who is no longer alive to confirm or deny it. Combs has denied any involvement. Police have repeatedly said he's never been named a suspect. Every other person in a position to independently back up Davis's account is dead. So the case against Combs was always going to rest on whether Davis is believable. A jury just said yes, enough to send him to prison for life. His own lawyers spent two hours in the same courtroom saying no, not even close. That's not a contradiction true crime fans should let slide — and it's the exact question we're digging into.

Before he ever met Mica, pastor John-Paul Miller's first wife stated in a sworn affidavit that he had confessed a prostitution addiction to his own congregation. That history sets up everything that follows. JP's father, Reginald, built a church empire in the South Carolina Lowcountry that later collapsed under federal felony convictions for forced labor, and two civil lawsuits now allege both father and son used their positions to gain access to minors through their churches and schools. Mica moved to Myrtle Beach at 15 to work at Solid Rock Church, and told police JP had controlled her since she was a child. A federal indictment filed in December 2025 alleges seventeen months of cyberstalking — tracking devices, more than fifty contacts in a single day, interference with her finances and medical care. She filed at least eight police reports. JP still held healthcare power of attorney over her. On April 25, 2024, Mica served him with divorce papers. Forty-eight hours later, she was found dead at a North Carolina state park, ruled a suicide, after telling a friend JP threatened to put a bullet in her head and stage it as her own doing. He was verified in Charleston and has not been charged. The next morning he preached a full sermon before addressing her death, later claiming he tried to raise her from the dead. Four days after that, he was seen at a bar with Suzie Skinner, whom he married thirteen months later. His federal trial is set for October 2026, and the Netflix documentary “Death of the Pastor's Wife” has already reignited scrutiny of the entire case.

In the months before her three children died, Lindsay Clancy was prescribed more than a dozen psychiatric medications, kept a journal tracking her symptoms, and told multiple doctors she was having intrusive thoughts about harming Cora, Dawson, and Callan. The defense says that history proves a medical system that failed her at every step. The prosecution says it proves the opposite — that a woman capable of documenting her own crisis and seeking help was fully aware of what she was doing. That argument came to a head over twenty minutes: prosecutors told the jury that Lindsay sent her husband Patrick to CVS and a Thai restaurant, then used that window to kill all three children in their Duxbury basement, timing a pickup order and a pharmacy run with a clear head. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries sat through all five weeks and more than eighty witnesses of this trial, close enough to watch the reaction of the nine mothers on the jury as both arguments were laid out. He tells Tony Brueski which side actually landed — whether the CVS timeline convinced the jury Lindsay was calculating, or whether the defense's point, that organized behavior and psychosis coexist every day in hospitals across the country, carried more weight with parents watching from the jury box.

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.
