What Lindsay Clancy's Lawyer Really Wants From Trump Sep 11, 2026

Show notes

Kevin Reddington asked President Trump for a pardon on national television, and a pardon is the one thing Trump cannot give him. Eric Faddis, defense attorney and former prosecutor, joins True Crime Today to explain what the request is actually for.

Lindsay Clancy's trial ended in a mistrial on September 4, 2026, after the jury deliberated 38 hours across seven days. Reddington says the split was 11-1 in favor of acquittal. On Good Morning America he asked the president to "consider this young lady and the person she is, what she's been through, and consider a pardon." Presidents can only pardon federal crimes. Reddington then described Plymouth County DA Tim Cruz as a hard-charging, conservative prosecutor and said he hoped Cruz would reconsider after seeing the evidence.

Reddington has also ruled out any plea with jail time, saying he would not plead Lindsay Clancy to a single day because she was sick. A Rule 25 motion for a required finding of not guilty, asking the judge to end the case for lack of evidence, is set for September 29.

Eric explains how a televised plea to a president becomes pressure on a county prosecutor. He weighs whether a public no-jail ultimatum is a bluff or a demand the jury split supports. He describes what a defense team says to prosecutors after a near-acquittal. He explains why a motion judges rarely grant still has a purpose. And he walks through how a deal gets built around psychiatric care instead of prison, with no admission of guilt.

Lindsay Clancy is charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the January 24, 2023 deaths of Cora, Dawson, and Callan. She is held at Tewksbury Hospital while the DA decides whether to retry her.

Patrick Clancy's Accusers Didn't Expect THIS From His Lawyer Sep 11, 2026

Show notes

Patrick Clancy's attorney says the accounts accusing him in his children's deaths are about to answer for it, and one line in his statement tells you how serious this is. Eric Faddis, defense attorney and former prosecutor, joins True Crime Today to explain the legal road from an online post to a courtroom.

The statement from attorney Howard Cooper came out September 8, 2026. It describes months of a "relentless, escalating and destructive defamation campaign" against Patrick and his family, built on what the statement calls outright falsehoods. It says the people responsible appear intent on boosting their own social media profiles. It promises that every appropriate measure will be pursued to hold them accountable, including legally. And it says law enforcement has been notified.

Eric explains how lawyers identify an anonymous poster, and why the platform usually ends up handing over the name. He explains why "in my opinion" is not the shield most creators think it is. He describes what discovery looks like for an influencer, including private messages and the money the posts earned. He explains where civil defamation ends and criminal harassment or stalking begins. And he answers whether a few high-profile lawsuits could change how creators cover the families in these cases.

Patrick Clancy was the prosecution's first witness at the trial of his former wife. Lindsay Clancy was charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the January 24, 2023 deaths of Cora, Dawson, and Callan. The jury could not agree after 38 hours of deliberation. DA Tim Cruz has not said whether he will retry the case. Both sides are due back in court September 29.

Sandra Birchmore Blamed for What at Farwell Trial Sep 11, 2026

Show notes

Matthew Farwell's federal murder trial begins October 5 in Boston, and the defense is preparing to put Sandra Birchmore's life on trial. Their argument: she was unstable, manipulative, a liar, and she killed herself. The prosecution's answer: every one of those traits was created by the men who exploited her since she was twelve years old.Sandra joined the Stoughton Police Explorers as a kid looking for positive male role models. Prosecutors allege Farwell began a relationship with her when she was fifteen and he was a twenty-seven-year-old officer. Three other men connected to the department were also involved. None faced criminal charges. The only arrest came three years after Sandra was found dead with a duffel bag strap tied around her neck in her Canton apartment.Farwell's DNA was the major contributor on that strap. A fracture in Sandra's hyoid bone had zero documented parallels in women found seated. She had abrasions on her nose, hemorrhage in a neck muscle, and a broken necklace on the floor. The scene was declared a suicide before the autopsy. A state trooper extracted Farwell's phone and found zero messages between him and Sandra. The FBI later recovered 32,709 of them.Sandra planned to announce her pregnancy on Valentine's Day. Farwell attended a training where the medical examiner discussed how to identify suicide in hanging deaths. The defense will show the jury Sandra's pain. The prosecution will show them who caused it.

The Conspiracy That Forced Patrick Clancy to Fight Back Sep 11, 2026

Show notes

The Lindsay Clancy trial went to a jury that deliberated for thirty-eight hours across seven days and couldn't agree. Judge Sullivan declared a mistrial September 4 after the jury reported being hopelessly deadlocked at eleven to one.

Outside the courtroom, the conspiracy was already running. TikTok and Instagram creators built an alternate case against Patrick Clancy — the man who testified as the prosecution's first witness and whose ex-wife admitted through her defense that she killed their three children. Some used astrology. Others used trial footage. The theories grew through the trial and intensified after the mistrial.

A man posted a TikTok saying he ended a $200,000 wedding because his fiancée expressed sympathy for Lindsay. He called her a monster. Four million people watched.

On September 8, Patrick's attorney Howard Cooper called it a defamation campaign, confirmed law enforcement has been notified, and warned that consequences are coming. Lindsay's own attorney Kevin Reddington praised the conspiracy theorists' investigative ability after the mistrial.

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examines the full picture with Tony Brueski — the relationships cracking, the father accused, and why the country can't sit with uncertainty when three children are dead.

Nick Reiner Did This for 17 Years While Lindsay Clancy Begged for Help Sep 10, 2026

Show notes

Sources say medical professionals warned Rob and Michele Reiner not to let their son Nick stay in the home after a medication switch weeks before the killings. A second source confirmed doctors told the parents the change could trigger more erratic behavior. They let him stay. They’d been letting him stay for years — through the meth benders, the destroyed guest house, the threats against his sister, the stolen money, the 18 rehab stays he’d cycled through since he was 15. Nick Reiner was diagnosed with schizophrenia and spent a year under a court-ordered conservatorship for grave disability. That oversight ended in 2021 and was never renewed. Four years later, a grand jury indicted him on two counts of murder with a lying-in-wait special circumstance — an allegation that he concealed his purpose, watched and waited, and attacked his parents inside their Brentwood bedroom with the specific intent to kill. The night before, his parents had brought him to a holiday party to keep an eye on him. One guest said he was freaking everyone out. He argued loudly with his father and was asked to leave. Tony walks through the medical warnings, the behavioral record, and the lying-in-wait charge — then puts the case alongside Lindsay Clancy’s, where a mother chased her doctors for help and the system couldn’t get there in time. Nick Reiner has pleaded not guilty. Held without bail. Next hearing September 15.

Lindsay Clancy Made Every Mother Think This About Herself Sep 10, 2026

Show notes

The Lindsay Clancy trial presented two readings of the same set of facts. The prosecution said she acted deliberately and understood what she was doing. The defense said postpartum psychosis hijacked her brain and she was incapable of appreciating the wrongfulness of her actions. The jury deliberated for thirty-eight hours and couldn't agree.

The public is having the same argument with less information and more certainty. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott says the fury, the side-taking, and the demand for a clean answer all trace back to a biological truth most people are unwilling to confront: severe postpartum psychosis is a real medical event that can happen to a person with no history of violence.

Scott explains what the word "monster" does psychologically when applied to a case like this — and who it's actually protecting. Why the public distinguishes between a heart attack causing a fatal car crash and a brain illness causing a catastrophe. What it means when mothers watching the trial recognize something in Lindsay's story they've carried in silence.

And the clinical bottom line: when the loudest public message is that compassion for a mentally ill mother makes you dangerous, the next mother in crisis gets the message too.

Wendi Adelson Saw Police at Dan's House and Did Nothing Sep 10, 2026

Show notes

Three weeks before the murder, Wendi Adelson called Dan Markel an "STD" and an "emotional terrorist." Five days before, her boyfriend Jeffrey Lacasse says she told him her brother Charlie had looked into every option for dealing with the "Danny problem" — including hiring a hitman for fifteen thousand dollars. Lacasse called the statement "chilling." Wendi denied saying it under oath at four separate trials.The day before the killing, she asked Lacasse about his Friday travel route past Dan's house, then emailed him not to contact her for a week. The morning of July 18, 2014, she was home waiting for a Geek Squad technician to fix a TV that prosecutors say was code for the murder plan. An hour later, she drove past police tape at Dan's house, knowing her children were there, and didn't call anyone.Two weeks after the murder, Lacasse testified that Wendi told him she and Charlie went to what Charlie described as a "celebration dinner." Wendi denied that too. Five people are in prison. Wendi Adelson has never been charged. This is the fourth installment of the Adelson series — the story of the ex-wife, the boyfriend, and the questions that remain.

Why Patrick Clancy Had to Contact Law Enforcement After His Children's Trial Sep 10, 2026

Show notes

Patrick Clancy buried three children. He testified in the trial that followed their deaths. He divorced Lindsay, remarried, and tried to build a new life in New York. Lindsay admitted through her defense that she killed Cora, Dawson, and Callan. The jury deadlocked eleven to one and Judge Sullivan declared a mistrial on September 4.

The conspiracy theories started during the trial. TikTok and Instagram creators accused Patrick of being the real killer. Some used astrology and birth charts. Others analyzed trial livestream footage frame by frame. Creators compared him to Chris Watts. Tabloids ran paparazzi photos of Patrick and his new wife under headlines designed to make grief look suspicious.

On September 8, Patrick's attorney Howard Cooper released a statement through publicist Diana Pisciotta calling the accusations a defamation campaign and confirming law enforcement has been notified. Cooper said the conspiracy has produced threats to Patrick's reputation, livelihood, and life.

Lindsay's own defense attorney Kevin Reddington, asked about the theories after the mistrial, praised the internet investigators' ability to "ferret out facts."

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examines how a father became a suspect in the court of TikTok, what makes a conspiracy feel more real than a courtroom admission, and what Patrick's forced response reveals about where true crime fandom has landed.

Lindsay Clancy's Case Made a Man Call His Fiancée This Sep 10, 2026

Show notes

The Lindsay Clancy jury was deadlocked eleven to one after six weeks. Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial on September 4 after thirty-eight hours of deliberation. Plymouth County DA Timothy Cruz hasn't said whether he'll retry the case.

Outside the courtroom, the case was already being retried in kitchens and comment sections across the country. A man posted a TikTok claiming he canceled his $200,000 wedding because his fiancée told him he couldn't understand postpartum illness. He called her a monster. Four million people watched and turned the breakup into a referendum on the entire case.

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott explains how a criminal trial about postpartum psychosis became a relationship test. Why the word "monster" keeps moving from the defendant to anyone who disagrees with your read. What it means when the jury that heard all the evidence couldn't agree but people who never set foot in the courtroom are absolutely certain. And why the next woman experiencing frightening postpartum thoughts may be watching all of this and deciding silence is safer than honesty.

The verdict wasn't a verdict. The public's was.

Biggie's Murder Case Led to Tupac's Killer — Then WHAT? Sep 10, 2026

Show notes

Duane "Keffe D" Davis was convicted of first-degree murder on August 31, 2026 for orchestrating the shooting of Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas in 1996. The confession that built that case didn't come from the Tupac investigation. It came from the Biggie Smalls investigation.

In 2008, LAPD detectives approached Davis about the murder of Christopher Wallace. He denied any role in Biggie's death. Then he told them he was involved in Tupac's. Detectives who went looking for one killer found another — and the institution behind them responded by disbanding the task force, letting the lead detective walk away, and going silent on Biggie's case for the next sixteen years.

The alleged shooter in Biggie's murder was killed in 2003. The original lead detective died in 2015 after being forced off the case by his own chief. The woman who confessed to arranging the hit has immunity. The man both investigations point to as the person who ordered it is serving a 28-year sentence and has never admitted a thing. The LAPD won't confirm whether anyone is still investigating. This episode lays out the full chain of institutional failures that left a solvable murder unsolved for twenty-nine years.
