{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"Lindsay Clancy's Prosecutor Called Her Injuries WHAT?! ","description":"Lindsay Clancy's own defense doesn't dispute what happened to her three children. The trial is about what was happening inside her mind, and the prosecution just spent fourteen days at Plymouth Superior Court trying to convince a jury it was less than it looks.\nThe prosecutor opened by calling Lindsay \"controlling, meticulous, and manipulative\" and told the jury she faked a suicide attempt. Lindsay is paralyzed from the waist down. She cut her own wrists and neck before jumping from a second-story window, and the jury has watched her sit in a wheelchair through every day of testimony since. On cross-examination, the prosecutor asked Lindsay's former mother-in-law, who called her a wonderful and nurturing mother, whether she knew murder was a mortal sin. The judge struck the question before it could sit with the jury. When Lindsay's own mother testified that her daughter had said the medication was destroying her mind, the prosecutor asked why she never had Lindsay committed.\nThen came the recess. During autopsy testimony for eight-month-old Callan, Lindsay sobbed hard enough that the judge stopped the proceedings. The next morning, defense attorney Kevin Reddington accused someone on the prosecution's side of being caught on a hot mic saying \"shut her up.\" The DA's office insists the words were \"shut it off.\"\nNone of this changes what a not guilty by reason of insanity verdict would actually cost Lindsay. Massachusetts law allows the state to keep refiling commitment petitions every six months, indefinitely, and Andrea Yates, acquitted the same way back in 2006, is still institutionalized today. Eric Faddis and Shavaun Scott join Tony Brueski to weigh a prosecution strategy that could be alienating the jury it needs, against a verdict that might not free her at all.\nLinks & Legal Footer:\nJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/\nWant to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
