We wanted the first wanted the first wanted the first trial to be trial to be trial to be about guilt or about guilt or about guilt or innocence, period. innocence, period. innocence, period. Nothing more. And Nothing more. And Nothing more. And then, if we then, if we then, if we continued with this, the continued with this, the continued with this, the second second second trial would be about trial would be about trial would be about whether she was whether she was whether she was criminally criminally criminally responsible? This responsible? This responsible? This was denied, so was denied, so was denied, so they combined them into they combined them into they combined them into one lawsuit. one lawsuit. one lawsuit.

Second, he called the DNA in he called the DNA in he called the DNA in the case woefully the case woefully the case woefully inadequate. There is a inadequate. There is a inadequate. There is a problem with DNA on problem with DNA on problem with DNA on sports tapes. sports tapes. sports tapes. Patrick's DNA is on Patrick's DNA is on Patrick's DNA is on the tapes, the children are there, the tapes, the children are there, the tapes, the children are there, Lindsay is there. They are lacking. Lindsay is there. They are lacking. Lindsay is there. They are lacking. They are at home. That's right They are at home. That's right , exactly. But then , exactly. But then , exactly. But then he also talks he also talks he also talks about time frames. And I about time frames. And I about time frames. And I think that's where think that's where think that's where the conversation that the conversation that the conversation that surrounded Patrick surrounded Patrick surrounded Patrick Clancy during the trial began. Clancy during the trial began. Clancy during the trial began. I was curious that I was curious that I was curious that Reddington actually Reddington actually Reddington actually delved into this. So delved into this. So delved into this. So he basically said that he basically said that he basically said that the time frames don't the time frames don't the time frames don't match and are, quote, " match and are, quote, " ridiculous" because ridiculous" because ridiculous" because Patrick left the house, Patrick left the house, Patrick left the house, sent a supposedly sent a supposedly sent a supposedly work work work email from...he couldn't email from...he couldn't email from...he couldn't remember if it was from remember if it was from remember if it was from his phone or his his phone or his his phone or his home laptop home laptop home laptop at 5:24, which is what at 5:24, which is what at 5:24, which is what Reddington is talking about Reddington is talking about Reddington is talking about here. Then he went here. Then he went here. Then he went to CVS, went to a to CVS, went to a to CVS, went to a restaurant. By the time restaurant. By the time restaurant. By the time Patrick reportedly Patrick reportedly returned home and returned home and found Lindsay, found Lindsay, found Lindsay, her body temperature her body temperature her body temperature was already 82°. It was a was already 82°. It was a was already 82°. It was a huge deal. A huge deal. A huge deal. A huge deal, huge deal, huge deal, which Reddington which Reddington which Reddington says here too: "Hey, look, it's says here too: "Hey, look, it's says here too: "Hey, look, it's going to take hours going to take hours going to take hours for her for her for her body temperature to drop to body temperature to drop to body temperature to drop to this." So he's saying this." So he's saying this." So he's saying that the timeframe that that the timeframe that that the timeframe that was suggested was suggested was suggested through Patrick, through the through Patrick, through the through Patrick, through the prosecution, doesn't make prosecution, doesn't make prosecution, doesn't make sense in sense in sense in terms of Lindsay having terms of Lindsay having terms of Lindsay having had enough time to had enough time to had enough time to do this, to do this, to do this, to be outside be outside be outside and to have and to have and to have her body temperature taken her body temperature taken her body temperature taken at that level...

  8. at that level... at that level... Yeah, to get to the Yeah, to get to the Yeah, to get to the level that level that level that her body was at. her body was at. her body was at. So he actually So he actually So he actually mentioned some of the mentioned some of the mentioned some of the things that people on things that people on things that people on the internet were talking about the internet were talking about the internet were talking about as possible as possible as possible inconsistencies. inconsistencies. inconsistencies. Some may perceive Some may perceive Some may perceive his words as his words as his words as mocking Patrick. mocking Patrick. mocking Patrick. I don't think that was the I don't think that was the I don't think that was the case. I think his case. I think his case. I think his strategy with strategy with strategy with the client is to the client is to the client is to say, " say, " You need to You need to You need to rule on this rule on this rule on this motion that motion that motion that requires justification." requires justification." I think it I think it I think it was all a strategy, but was all a strategy, but was all a strategy, but it certainly it certainly it certainly took into account what took into account what took into account what everyone was talking about and what they were everyone was talking about and what they were everyone was talking about and what they were noticing. The questions noticing. The questions noticing. The questions that you had, that you had, that you had, the questions that the questions that the questions that criminal criminal criminal drug addicts in general had, drug addicts in general had, drug addicts in general had, as well as the public. as well as the public. as well as the public. He definitely took that into account He definitely took that into account . It's interesting that he . It's interesting that he . It's interesting that he took it, I want to took it, I want to took it, I want to call it a call it a call it a 180-degree turn, but 180-degree turn, but 180-degree turn, but this departure from the topic this departure from the topic this departure from the topic seemed like a seemed like a seemed like a 180-degree turn to me 180-degree turn to me 180-degree turn to me , whereas all , whereas all , whereas all I really I really I really understood before was that understood before was that understood before was that she admitted that she admitted that she admitted that she did it. It's she did it. It's she did it. It's just a matter of what state of mind just a matter of what state of mind just a matter of what state of mind she was in she was in she was in when she when she when she did it. Now I did it. Now I did it. Now I understand that understand that understand that they previously wanted two they previously wanted two they previously wanted two separate separate separate trials. I don't think this is a trials. I don't think this is a trials. I don't think this is a 180 180 180 degree turn. Maybe degree turn. Maybe degree turn. Maybe 90 degrees. At 90 degrees. At 90 degrees. At 90 degrees. Yes, I would 90 degrees. Yes, I would 90 degrees. Yes, I would say that's say that's say that's right, and I think that's why right, and I think that's why right, and I think that's why he he he broke it today.

  9. broke it today. broke it today. So, he says, right? And So, he says, right? And So, he says, right? And it's kind of, I it's kind of, I it's kind of, I mean, it was kind of a mean, it was kind of a sensational thing, like, "Where's sensational thing, like, "Where's the evidence that she did the evidence that she did the evidence that she did n't do it?" He n't do it?" He answered quite convincingly. Then there's the accusation that I accusation that I think we think we think we should also point out is that should also point out is that should also point out is that they got rid of the they got rid of the they got rid of the hair bows. hair bows. hair bows. Oh, finally. Oh, finally. Oh, finally. Bow and sock outward. Bow and sock outward. Bow and sock outward. Um, I think they Um, I think they Um, I think they saw, uh, I think saw, uh, I think saw, uh, I think they saw online they saw online conversations about it. So, conversations about it. So, conversations about it. So, no bows. They no bows. They no bows. They come up and say, " come up and say, " Hmm, this is the first time Hmm, this is the first time Hmm, this is the first time Reddington has claimed there's Reddington has claimed there's Reddington has claimed there's no no no evidence that she evidence that she evidence that she did this." We have never did this." We have never did this." We have never heard such an heard such an heard such an argument before in this argument before in this argument before in this court. And we court. And we court. And we argue that there is argue that there is argue that there is {quote} an overwhelming {quote} an overwhelming {quote} an overwhelming amount of evidence amount of evidence amount of evidence that she was that she was that she was responsible for these responsible for these responsible for these crimes.” And they crimes.” And they crimes.” And they gave several gave several gave several examples.

Is part of Is part of Redington's argument that it didn't Redington's argument that it didn't Redington's argument that it didn't happen happen happen when they say when they say when they say it did? it did? it did? I think it's more I think it's more I think it's more about about about the chronology of when the chronology of when the chronology of when he was absent, and there he was absent, and there he was absent, and there were some were some were some inconsistencies there that inconsistencies there that inconsistencies there that could be could be could be taken as meaning that taken as meaning that taken as meaning that Lindsay wouldn't have had Lindsay wouldn't have had Lindsay wouldn't have had enough time to enough time to enough time to commit these crimes.

  10. commit these crimes. commit these crimes. So, it's a little So, it's a little So, it's a little vague. It's vague. It's vague. It's a little unclear there, but a little unclear there, but a little unclear there, but they say, " they say, " Look, she was the Look, she was the Look, she was the only one home at the only one home at the only one home at the time."

But, I point. But, I point. But, I actually think the actually think the actually think the Commonwealth had a Commonwealth had a Commonwealth had a very interesting very interesting very interesting rebuttal on this rebuttal on this rebuttal on this . They . They . They got…” got…” got…” up there, and they up there, and they up there, and they said, “This said, “This said, “This can’t happen.” Not can’t happen.” Not can’t happen.” Not just in this case, just in this case, just in this case, but like, what person but like, what person but like, what person would want to serve would want to serve would want to serve on a jury again in the on a jury again in the on a jury again in the Commonwealth of Commonwealth of Commonwealth of Massachusetts if Massachusetts if Massachusetts if all their notes, everything all their notes, everything all their notes, everything that was discussed, that was discussed, that was discussed, like, if all of this like, if all of this like, if all of this was just put was just put was just put to a public to a public to a public vote, whereas vote, whereas vote, whereas we usually we usually we usually protect our protect our protect our jurors at all jurors at all jurors at all costs? And this was costs? And this was costs? And this was different. different. Yes. I think I see Yes. I think I see something different about it, in that something different about it, in that something different about it, in that it didn't just it didn't just it didn't just end and the defense end and the defense end and the defense didn't say, "Oh, I'm didn't say, "Oh, I'm didn't say, "Oh, I'm upset about the decision."

  13. upset about the decision." upset about the decision." I'm going to take I'm going to take I'm going to take this apart." this apart." this apart." Of course. Even before Of course. Even before Of course. Even before they made they made they made that decision, the that decision, the that decision, the jurors were coming out and jurors were coming out and jurors were coming out and saying, "Listen, saying, "Listen, saying, "Listen, the rules that we the rules that we the rules that we have to have to have to follow, the way follow, the way follow, the way this is supposed to work, it's this is supposed to work, it's this is supposed to work, it's not happening." What not happening." What not happening." What happens then? happens then? happens then? Well, if you're Well, if you're Well, if you're raising a flag, I do raising a flag, I do raising a flag, I do n't know that I am, and n't know that I am, and n't know that I am, and maybe I'm not a constitutional lawyer maybe I'm not a constitutional lawyer , but I just don't , but I just don't think it's a bad thing think it's a bad thing think it's a bad thing to take something apart if there to take something apart if there to take something apart if there 's a concern, not 's a concern, not 's a concern, not about how you about how you about how you voted, but about voted, but about voted, but about whether whether or not you followed the rules. Because if or not you followed the rules. Because if we don't follow we don't follow we don't follow the rules, that's my the rules, that's my the rules, that's my problem with the world problem with the world problem with the world right now. If there is no right now. If there is no right now. If there is no right and right and right and wrong, wrong, wrong, truth and other truth and other truth and other rules, what do we do? rules, what do we do? rules, what do we do? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. What, have I gone crazy? What, have I gone crazy? What, have I gone crazy? And no, and that's exactly what the And no, and that's exactly what the And no, and that's exactly what the defense is claiming. defense is claiming. defense is claiming. They say, " They say, " Listen, we Listen, we Listen, we should have access should have access should have access to this if that's the case to this if that's the case ." I think the problem, ." I think the problem, ." I think the problem, and what the judge and what the judge and what the judge needs to figure out, needs to figure out, needs to figure out, is that is that is that one camp of people is saying they have one camp of people is saying they have doubts. doubts. doubts. There are jurors, other There are jurors, other There are jurors, other jurors, and several jurors, and several jurors, and several people have come forward and people have come forward and people have come forward and spoken out on various spoken out on various spoken out on various media outlets, saying, media outlets, saying, "Listen, no, he "Listen, no, he "Listen, no, he expressed doubt." But expressed doubt." But expressed doubt." But then you have his then you have his then you have his team, the only team, the only team, the only juror juror juror left left left untried, and his untried, and his untried, and his name is Michael Derosier, and name is Michael Derosier, and name is Michael Derosier, and he came out and named he came out and named he came out and named himself because he, himself because he, himself because he, you know, was effectively you know, was effectively you know, was effectively forced to.

  14. forced to. forced to. He seemed to have to. I have a problem with this He seemed to have to. I have a problem with this . . This is a problem. This is a problem. This is a problem. Right. And I think that's what the Right. And I think that's what the Commonwealth is heading towards. Is this Commonwealth is heading towards. Is this just further just further just further exposing him when exposing him when exposing him when he didn't need to he didn't need to he didn't need to ? The defense ? The defense ? The defense says it's necessary. The says it's necessary. The says it's necessary. The judge has many cases to judge has many cases to decide, such as decide, such as where to go next. And that's where to go next. And that's where to go next. And that's definitely not what we definitely not what we definitely not what we usually see in the usually see in the usually see in the case. I mean, case. I mean, I've never seen I've never seen I've never seen so much controversy so much controversy so much controversy over the jury at over the jury at over the jury at the end of a case. And I want to the end of a case. And I want to the end of a case. And I want to dig into that a little bit dig into that a little bit dig into that a little bit , because after the , because after the , because after the trial was canceled, trial was canceled, trial was canceled, it it it took shape a little bit. And took shape a little bit. And took shape a little bit. And the Commonwealth in court the Commonwealth in court the Commonwealth in court today looked as today looked as today looked as if if a multitude of things had been said outside this courtroom a multitude of things had been said outside this courtroom that affect this that affect this that affect this case. And it's kind of like how case. And it's kind of like how Reddington Reddington and Michael's lawyers are and Michael's lawyers are and Michael's lawyers are exchanging statements exchanging statements exchanging statements on social media on social media on social media and so on. I think it has to do and so on. I think it has to do and so on. I think it has to do with the way with the way with the way juries are selected, juries are selected, juries are selected, the way the way the way juries are selected now, the way that once juries are selected now, the way that once juries are selected now, the way that once we we we knew there was one who was knew there was one who was knew there was one who was resisting, we resisting, we resisting, we should never have should never have should never have known that he had known that he had known that he had defected to defected to defected to begin with. But the jury begin with. But the jury begin with. But the jury didn't know when they didn't know when they didn't know when they gave that note to gave that note to gave that note to the judge and said the judge and said the judge and said one person didn't one person didn't one person didn't follow the law of follow the law of follow the law of reasonable doubt that reasonable doubt that reasonable doubt that we would have known that then we would have known that then we would have known that then . So then . So then . So then these jurors these jurors these jurors came out on NBC Boston, WBZ came out on NBC Boston, WBZ came out on NBC Boston, WBZ and ABC News and said, "No and ABC News and said, "No , he had doubts , he had doubts ." They came out and ." They came out and ."

You know, one of my You know, one of my You know, one of my questions is, questions is, questions is, one of the things one of the things one of the things I always I always I always point out when people point out when people point out when people say, "Oh, you know, say, "Oh, you know, say, "Oh, you know, she admitted it, she admitted it, she admitted it, right?" And I say, "Well, right?" And I say, "Well, right?" And I say, "Well, she admits it at the she admits it at the she admits it at the first first first trial. She says that's what trial. She says that's what trial. She says that's what happened." And I happened." And I happened." And I thought, "And then there are these thought, "And then there are these thought, "And then there are these lawsuits. What lawsuits. What lawsuits. What happens to them if happens to them if happens to them if we go to we go to we go to another another another lawsuit and she says she didn't lawsuit and she says she didn't do it at all?" I don't know. The do it at all?" I don't know. The only thing I can only thing I can only thing I can look at from a look at from a look at from a legal perspective legal perspective legal perspective is that these two is that these two is that these two trials are trials are trials are in civil court and the in civil court and the in civil court and the others are in criminal others are in criminal others are in criminal court, and these are separate court, and these are separate court, and these are separate trials. But when trials. But when trials. But when people ask if people ask if people ask if she admitted it, I've she admitted it, I've she admitted it, I've read civil read civil read civil lawsuits. I read lawsuits. I read Lindsay's civil lawsuit. Yes, in this Lindsay's civil lawsuit. Yes, in this lawsuit she admits lawsuit she admits lawsuit she admits that she took their lives that she took their lives that she took their lives due to postpartum due to postpartum due to postpartum psychosis. That's absolutely psychosis. That's absolutely psychosis. That's absolutely true. And they also true. And they also true. And they also agreed with the facts of agreed with the facts of agreed with the facts of this this this trial, which was the same thing trial, which was the same thing trial, which was the same thing . So for everyone . So for everyone . So for everyone who was like, "Oh my God who was like, "Oh my God , yeah, she couldn't , yeah, she couldn't , yeah, she couldn't do that. She do that. She do that. She couldn't couldn't couldn't do that." There is do that." There is do that." There is documentation.

  25. documentation. documentation. Yes, and this is where I Yes, and this is where I Yes, and this is where I still have a hard time, even in the still have a hard time, even in the still have a hard time, even in the criminal criminal criminal process. I understand that process. I understand that process. I understand that they couldn't they couldn't they couldn't separate it. So, separate it. So, separate it. So, part of my brain is part of my brain is part of my brain is like, "Oh, okay." like, "Oh, okay." like, "Oh, okay." Perhaps this is the best Perhaps this is the best Perhaps this is the best solution if it solution if it solution if it was not possible to separate the was not possible to separate the was not possible to separate the trials. You trials. You trials. You still have a civil still have a civil still have a civil lawsuit where you say, "That's lawsuit where you say, "That's lawsuit where you say, "That's right, right, right, you did it." you did it." you did it." But they asked the But they asked the But they asked the court during this that there were court during this that there were court during this that there were ongoing civil ongoing civil ongoing civil lawsuits. So this was lawsuits. So this was lawsuits. So this was known in the known in the known in the trial, but they didn't trial, but they didn't trial, but they didn't go into detail. go into detail. go into detail. Right. So now Right. So now Right. So now it's like, "Okay, first of all it's like, "Okay, first of all , we need to , we need to , we need to get to November 2nd. get to November 2nd. get to November 2nd. This...

Summary

The main theme is a recent hearing in the Lindsay Clancy case, focusing on the defense's argument that she should not be held criminally liable due to postpartum psychosis, while the prosecution claims the acts were intentional. Key subjects include the mistrial, the defense's claim of no confession, the prosecution's assertion of premeditation, and the jury's split verdict of 11-1. The practical takeaway is the ongoing legal debate and scrutiny surrounding Clancy's mental state and culpability for the alleged murders of her children.
