Why Lindsay Clancy's Husband Called That Morning THIS Aug 22, 2026

Show notes

Something happened in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial that's harder to process than the crime itself. Jurors cried as the medical examiner walked through injuries consistent with asphyxia in two of Clancy's three children. Clancy broke down sobbing at the defense table. The judge called multiple recesses. Her defense attorney, who spent three brutal hours cross-examining her psychiatrist days before, didn't ask the medical examiner a single follow-up.

But it's what her husband said that's dominating conversation around this trial. Patrick Clancy took the stand and described the final morning his three children were alive — and his choice of words has people arguing.

Clancy has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, at the family's Duxbury home. Her defense is built on undiagnosed postpartum psychosis, supported by a medication history that reads like a system failure: thirteen psychiatric prescriptions across five prescribers in four months, none of them coordinating care, a hospital that allegedly declined to treat her, a nurse practitioner who called her symptoms "quite common." Journal entries entered into the trial record document her unraveling in her own words, days before everything changed.

Bob Motta watched all of it unfold ten feet from Clancy. This episode covers the testimony, the paper trail the medical system left behind, and the one line from her husband that's proving impossible to square with everything else in this case.

Mario Fernandez Was Renovating a House. Prosecutors Say That's the Point. Aug 22, 2026

Show notes

Mario Fernandez's defense can show exactly where he was on January 29, 2022: at his own rental property on Potomac Avenue in Jacksonville, meeting contractors, hauling construction materials, on camera. In the Jared Bridegan murder trial's fourth day of testimony, prosecutors used that same day against him. FBI Agent Bobby Blythe traced Henry Tenon's phone leaving that exact property and running a route through Bridegan's life — his neighborhood, his children's gymnastics facility, Jacksonville Beach — eighteen days before Bridegan was shot dead beside a tire left in the road. The state calls it a practice run launched from the defendant's own address. The defense calls it a workday.

The rest of the day belonged to what investigators don't have. No DNA, fingerprints, or surveillance connect Fernandez to the blue Ford F-150. No physical evidence shows John Biggerstaff supplying him a 10mm, and records showed six 10mm purchases at a single Jacksonville gun store. Nobody ever searched the property where the truck was found — an omission detectives explained with 2023 information, disputed by the defense, that the weapon was destroyed shortly after the shooting.

Fernandez is charged with first-degree murder and solicitation as the alleged hirer, and the state's proof runs through a lease, a route, and $10,000 in checks to Tenon written in the six weeks after the murder. Jurors heard Fernandez's recorded calls from the days around Tenon's arrest and his 2022 police interview calling Bridegan "a keyboard warrior more than anything." Tony Brueski breaks down which side actually won Day 4 — and why the answer depends on which job the jury thinks is on trial. Testimony runs through August 28.

Nolan Wells and Lindsay Clancy: Who Failed Them First? Aug 22, 2026

Show notes

In Mississippi, a joint forensic examination of Nolan Wells’ phone was agreed to and then torpedoed by a 48-hour ultimatum from the DA. The phone has been in civilian hands for six weeks. Both Snapchat accounts were empty when the family opened them. The state autopsy is sealed. A grand jury is waiting.
In Massachusetts, the prosecution rested its case against Lindsay Clancy after fourteen days and seventy witnesses. Their own witnesses called her a wonderful mother. Their own psychiatrist never met her in person. They asked about mortal sin. They called her injuries faked. The defense psychologist has met with Lindsay sixty times and diagnosed her with postpartum psychosis. The prosecution floated a theory he coached her. The investigator acknowledged no evidence supported it.
Eric Faddis, defense attorney and former prosecutor, examines the prosecution’s decisions in both cases and evaluates whether they can still win what they may have already given away.

Why Clancy, Tupac, And Bridegan Cases ALL Just Got Complicated Aug 22, 2026

Show notes

Three cases. Three trials running at the same time. Three moments where the central story came apart. Lindsay Clancy's psychiatrist told a Plymouth County jury she treated her patient over fourteen sessions and never observed psychosis — the day before Clancy allegedly strangled her three children. Keffe D's defense opened the Tupac Shakur murder trial in Las Vegas by calling his client's published memoir, FBI statements, and on-camera interviews fiction. In Duval County, Henry Tenon — the man who confessed to shooting Jared Bridegan in a murder-for-hire ambush — withdrew his guilty plea and told the judge his testimony was false. Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke take on the listener questions connecting all three. A medical professional who says she missed nothing. A defendant whose own twenty-year confession is now called a story. A triggerman who took a deal and then reversed course with a life sentence on the line. These cases arrived on the same calendar at the same time, and every one of them forces the same question: when someone's version of events changes, who is the jury supposed to believe?

Lindsay Clancy Trial: Dr. Mack Reveals the "Last Chance" Voice She Says She Heard Aug 21, 2026

Show notes

Dr. Avram Mack, a psychiatrist testifying for the prosecution, returned to the stand Friday afternoon in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise 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 her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is mounting an insanity defense built on claims of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.

Mack told the jury that Clancy described hearing a command voice tell her this was her "last chance" — that she needed to kill her kids before she could kill herself. In Mack's opinion, Clancy was suffering from major depressive disorder, which he classified as a Mental Disease or Defect. But he drew a hard line there: he says she still knew right from wrong, and still bore criminal responsibility.

Cross-examination got interesting. Mack admitted the DA's office is paying him, that Park Dietz & Associates brought him onto the case, and that he'd met with Clancy alongside another forensic psychiatrist from that same firm — though he wouldn't discuss "the contact" between them. He also claimed Clancy had a "lifelong history" of resisting medication, then had to concede under questioning that this detail isn't actually in his notes. What is in his notes: she didn't want to take medication because she was breastfeeding. That's a meaningful gap between what he said on direct and what he can actually back up.

The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to run several weeks.

Keffe D's Tupac Confession Came With a Promise Cops Put on Tape Aug 21, 2026

Show notes

For fifteen years, the government held a recording of Duane "Keffe D" Davis explaining his role in the death of Tupac Shakur, and no charge followed. The Tupac trial in Las Vegas just showed the jury why that changed.

The 2008 interview ran under a proffer agreement, which Davis later called the deal of a lifetime, and it legally blocked prosecutors from building a case out of what he said in the room. On the recording, detectives tell him directly that his statements cannot be used against him. Jurors heard those assurances played back in open court.

They also heard what Davis did with the protection. He described the white Cadillac, the hunt that followed his nephew's beating at the MGM Grand, the gun moving from his hand toward the back seat, and Orlando Anderson allegedly firing the shots that killed Shakur at 25. It contradicted what he told the FBI years earlier, when he denied involvement and steered investigators toward New York.

Then the material stopped being secret. A detective from the interview published details in a 2011 book. Davis appeared in a BET documentary in 2018, released a memoir in February 2019, and gave paid interviews repeating the account. Prosecutors argue those public statements nullified the confidentiality, and a grand jury indicted him in September 2023. Davis pleaded not guilty, his lawyer calls the narrative fiction, and the judge admitted the tape while noting concerns about the legality of the proffer statements.

True Crime Today follows the trial down to the question underneath it: whether a man everyone agrees is unreliable told the truth exactly once.

Clancy Trial: Prosecution's Own Psychiatrist Admits Key Claim Isn't in His Notes Aug 21, 2026

Show notes

The Lindsay Clancy murder trial resumed Friday with Dr. Avram Mack, a psychiatrist called by the prosecution, continuing his rebuttal testimony after the lunch break. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is accused of strangling her 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. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and attorney Kevin Reddington is arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.

Mack testified that Clancy told him she heard a command voice tell her this was her "last chance" — that she had to kill her children before killing herself. He diagnosed her with major depressive disorder, which he agreed qualifies as a Mental Disease or Defect. His conclusion, though, was that she retained the capacity to know her actions were wrong, and therefore retained criminal responsibility.

Reddington used cross-examination to chip away at Mack's credibility. Mack confirmed he's being compensated by the district attorney's office, that Park Dietz & Associates brought him in, and that he'd met with Clancy alongside a second forensic psychiatrist from that same firm — declining, notably, to discuss "the contact" between the two of them. He also testified Clancy had a "lifelong history" of medication resistance, then acknowledged that claim isn't documented anywhere in his own notes. What he did document: she avoided medication specifically because she was breastfeeding.

The trial continues at Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to run several more weeks.

Jared Bridegan Wasn't Killed By One Person Acting Alone Aug 21, 2026

Show notes

The prosecution revealed that Henry Tenon was not alone the night Jared Bridegan was shot and killed on a road in Jacksonville Beach. Someone fled on foot. Someone else drove a truck away from the scene. Tenon's DNA was found on the tire placed in the road to force Bridegan to stop. But prosecutors say he didn't drive the truck. Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke take the listener questions this case is producing. Tenon confessed to the killing, took a plea deal in exchange for testimony against Mario Fernandez and Shanna Gardner, and then reversed everything — telling the judge his confession was false and demanding a trial of his own. The defense says Fernandez paid Tenon for handyman work, not murder. The prosecution says ten thousand dollars in checks went to a man whose only connection to the victim runs through the defendant. Fernandez's trial is happening now in Duval County. Gardner goes next in September. Tenon won't face a jury until 2027. Three trials, three separate juries, and three people pointing in different directions while Kirsten Bridegan — Jared's widow, who has carried this for four years — sits in the gallery and waits for the truth.

Clancy Trial: Psychiatrist Rules Out Bipolar, Rules Out Postpartum, Points to Depression Aug 21, 2026

Show notes

The murder trial of Lindsay Clancy is underway in Plymouth Superior Court, and the diagnoses on the table just multiplied. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is charged with killing her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months — allegedly strangling them with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She then allegedly tried to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, an injury that left her paralyzed from the waist down. She's pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. Her defense, led by Kevin Reddington, rests on an insanity claim built around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.

The prosecution's rebuttal witness had a different diagnosis in mind entirely. Dr. Avram Mack, a psychiatrist who reviewed Clancy's medical records and evaluated her in April 2026, told jurors that assessing someone's mental state requires looking at who they were at the time of the act itself. He described a patient who showed no interest in her hygiene, the hospital's food, or the other patients around her — though she did have visitors on occasion. Mack noted she's taking numerous psychiatric medications, all at low doses.

His diagnosis: a major depressive episode within major depressive disorder. Not bipolar disorder — he testified he saw nothing in her records pointing to mania or hypomania. And notably, not postpartum psychosis either, which is the diagnosis the defense has built its entire case around.

Patrick Clancy, her husband, was running errands when the killings happened and has since moved to Manhattan. The trial is expected to continue for several more weeks.

Lindsay Clancy's Story Never Changed in 200 Visits Aug 21, 2026

Show notes

Lindsay Clancy has told one person the same account for three years, and on Day 17 of her murder trial that person finally testified. Hospital chaplain Sheila Cavanaugh — roughly two hundred visits at Tewksbury Hospital, plus fourteen at Brigham and Women's — took the stand for about twenty minutes, and those minutes may shape the verdict more than any expert who preceded her.

Cavanaugh testified that Clancy described a persistent male voice commanding her to kill her children and then herself, and that Clancy's first words after her breathing tube came out were about her children being safe. Prosecutor Jennifer Sprague countered that Cavanaugh's notes never documented a single mention of any voice, and Cavanaugh conceded the point. The stakes of that exchange are structural: Clancy admits the acts, so the entire trial is her state of mind, and Massachusetts law requires the Commonwealth to prove her criminal responsibility beyond a reasonable doubt. The state's roughly seventy witnesses described a devoted nurse and mother. Its own phone evidence shows searches about hallucinations, psychosis, and postpartum psychosis symptoms before the killings — evidence Tony argues cuts directly against the theory that the voice was invented afterward.

Closing arguments are expected the week of August 24, and deliberations will follow soon after. This is the episode to hear before the verdict comes in.
