True Crime Today | Daily True Crime News & Interviews

Somebody treated the Lindsay Clancy murder trial like a celebrity sighting — and it happened at the worst possible moment, while the jury was already telling the judge they couldn't agree. 
A 56-year-old woman was arrested outside Plymouth Superior Court, accused of secretly filming jurors as they left the building during deliberations. She claimed she'd come to see Lindsay. Police found deleted video of the panel on her phone regardless. Judge Sullivan had to pull every juror aside individually to make sure deliberations could keep going — all while the panel was already deep in a deadlock nobody expected to break easily. 
This jury heard eighty witnesses across five weeks and worked through more than three hundred exhibits. Prosecution psychiatrists testified Lindsay Clancy wasn't psychotic when her three children died. Defense psychiatrists said she was. The defense isn't contesting the physical evidence — the exercise bands, the DNA, none of it — only whether she was criminally responsible, a question Massachusetts law puts squarely on the prosecution to disprove. 
When the jury said they were stuck, Sullivan gave them the Tuey-Rodriguez instruction, effectively telling them this is as good as the evidence gets. They went back anyway. They're still stuck. 
If it ends in a hung jury, nothing is settled. Lindsay Clancy remains charged with three counts of first-degree murder, still held at Tewksbury State Hospital, still paralyzed from the waist down, while Plymouth County DA Timothy Cruz decides whether to do this whole trial again. 
Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony to break down the deadlock, the courthouse spectator who may have handed both sides a mistrial argument, and what happens to a case this fractured next.

One piece of evidence could answer almost every open question in the Nolan Wells case, and nobody has touched it in six weeks. His phone has been with his family since July 5. On July 15, they agreed with the Jackson County DA on a joint forensic exam at a community college lab, with their own experts, the DA's experts, and possibly the FBI. No date was ever locked in. In early August, the friends' attorney went on national radio and accused the family of stonewalling. The DA's office fired back with a 44-hour deadline to hand the phone to her office instead — while Nolan's parents were out of state. The family called that bad faith and offered any day between August 18 and 21. Still no exam. While the phone sat waiting, Al Sharpton wasn't. Four days after Nolan's body was found on Horn Island, he called the case suspicious and framed it around race — before the sheriff had ruled anything out, before an independent autopsy found no fractures, no lacerations, no deep-tissue injuries. He asked on camera if the friends were racist. He announced a six-figure reward at the funeral before cause of death was even determined. His attorneys now say he never accused anyone of a crime. His own timeline, statement by statement, tells a different story. Three strangers from three states are facing federal charges for threatening the friends over claims that still haven't been proven or disproven. The phone sitting in Ocean Springs could settle it. Nobody's opened it yet.

Mica Miller called police at least seven times, reporting harassment, tire slashing, and surveillance, telling officers she feared for her life. Every time, her husband John-Paul Miller had a story ready — telling officers she was bipolar, schizophrenic, having an episode — then filed a mental health pick-up order and took her phone, laptop, purse, and car, claiming he was stopping her from overspending. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott calls it pathologizing the victim: terrorize a woman privately, then use her own trauma response to make her look unstable to the people she's begging for help. Federal prosecutors allege JP tracked her car, contacted her more than fifty times in a single day, and posted an intimate photo of her online without consent. Two 911 calls Mica made in February 2024, later published by FITSNews, reveal even more — one reporting that JP's adult son Logan Ryan Hardee made an unwanted advance toward her in her own kitchen, the other reporting him following her around town armed and living in the house she'd fled. Logan already faced a felony domestic violence charge tied to a different woman's hospitalization. Two 2025 civil lawsuits allege JP and his 77-year-old father used their churches and a school to gain access to underage girls across two decades; JP denies it and countersued, while his father never answered and lost by default. JP's federal cyberstalking trial is set for October 2026.

A Plymouth County jury is deciding whether Lindsay Clancy is criminally responsible for killing her three children, and the case hinges on two competing timelines that both last less than twenty minutes.  Prosecutors say Clancy sent her husband Patrick out for Thai food, then used that window to take Cora, Dawson, and Callan to the basement and kill them one at a time with exercise bands. ADA Jennifer Sprague told the jury that afterward, Clancy missed a phone call, called the person back, held a normal conversation, and hung up — behavior, prosecutors argue, a woman controlled entirely by a hallucination shouldn't be capable of.  The defense says the hallucination had already finished by then. Clancy described a male voice, never heard before or since, that arrived on the afternoon of January 24, 2023, and told her this was her last chance to kill her children and herself. It lasted roughly eighteen minutes and stopped the instant the children were dead. Defense psychiatrists Paul Zeizel and Phillip Resnick both diagnosed postpartum psychosis and testified Clancy had no understanding that what she was doing was wrong. Resnick evaluated Andrea Yates under nearly identical circumstances years earlier.  The prosecution's forensic psychiatrist Gregory Saathoff disagreed sharply, telling jurors a command hallucination vanishing the second its command is carried out doesn't match how psychosis actually behaves. Defense attorney Reddington's closing shifted the blame toward thirteen psychiatric medications and providers who never coordinated Clancy's care.  Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta covered the trial from inside the courtroom. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer has spent her career reading exactly this kind of behavioral evidence. Tony Brueski gets both of their takes as the jury weighs a case where the experts, and the hosts, don't see it the same way.

A month before the killings, Lindsay Clancy's handwriting stopped looking like handwriting. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington showed the jury her journal entries from December 2022 and called them chicken scratches — proof, he argued, that her mind was already unraveling before anyone outside her house noticed.  Reddington built his case around a chart too: lorazepam, sertraline, hydroxyzine, buspirone, trazodone, prescription after prescription piled onto a new mother by providers who never once compared notes. The defense's final witness, forensic psychiatrist Phillip Resnick — who evaluated Andrea Yates in her own case decades ago — told this Plymouth County jury Lindsay Clancy was clearly psychotic when she killed Cora, Dawson, and Callan.  The prosecution's own experts complicated their case. Forensic psychologist Kirk Heilbrun told jurors this was a serious suicide attempt accompanied by killing her children out of love, because Clancy couldn't bear to leave them behind. Forensic psychiatrist Gregory Saathoff, under defense questioning, agreed the prosecution's opening statement had minimized what Clancy was actually experiencing — and flagged what he called significant inconsistencies in how she described the voice that told her to kill them.  ADA Jennifer Sprague's closing argued something colder: that Clancy made a rational choice, that her children were the only thing keeping her from her own death, and that she left them in the basement and went upstairs to finish what she'd started.  The jury spent three and a half hours deliberating on their first day and went home without a verdict. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer and criminal defense attorney Bob Motta sit down with Tony Brueski to pick apart a prosecution case that may have undercut itself.
