In Episode 2 of the Lindsay Clancy trial, Christie and Maryn continue with Day Two as Patrick Clancy returns to the stand for cross-examination. The defense examines Lindsay’s treatment history, medication changes, inpatient care, and the frightening intrusive thoughts that can accompany postpartum mental-health struggles.

They also walk through testimony from the first responders who arrived at the Clancy home—what they saw, how they responded, and the questions raised about Lindsay’s injuries and arrest.

As the trial continues, Christie and Maryn weigh what the testimony reveals, what remains unclear, and how a mother’s private mental-health battle became central to one of the most devastating cases in recent memory.

In January 2023, a Massachusetts mother was accused of killing her three young children in a case that would spark intense debate about mental illness, motherhood, and criminal responsibility.

In Part 1 of the Lindsay Clancy case, Christie steps into the jury box as the prosecution and defense present two dramatically different explanations for an unimaginable tragedy. Was this a calculated act, or the result of a devastating mental health crisis?

Through the testimony of Lindsay's husband, Patrick Clancy, Christie and Maryn examine the warning signs, psychiatric treatment, conflicting accounts of Lindsay's behavior, and the heartbreaking events of January 24, 2023.

As the evidence begins to unfold, one question remains: When does mental illness affect criminal responsibility, and how can a jury determine the difference?

Join Christie and Maryn as they begin exploring one of the most emotionally challenging cases they've covered.

It’s the conclusion of our nine-week deep dive into the Michael Peterson case.

With the blood spatter expert’s credibility in ruins and a new trial ordered, the state faces major hurdles: lost evidence, overturned rulings, and a murder weapon theory that no longer holds up.

Maryn walks Christie through the legal roller coaster that followed Peterson’s conviction, including constitutional challenges, Alford plea negotiations, and the growing question of whether the state could even successfully retry the case.

Then they turn to the theories suggesting Peterson may not have been the killer at all — including one you probably won’t see coming.

Tune in as Maryn and Christie weigh the evidence, reconsider the alternatives, and finally reveal where they land on the case that has consumed the past two months.
