Lindsay Clancy Trial Nears Closing Arguments. Which Side Has the Stronger Case? With Special Guest Randolph Rice

Did Lindsay Clancy hear a persistent male voice ordering her to kill her children, and if she did, does that establish that she was not criminally responsible? Trial attorneys and former prosecutors Joshua Ritter and Randolph Rice examine the testimony that could decide the case as closing arguments approach.

Defense psychologist Dr. Paul Zeizel told jurors that Clancy had bipolar disorder with postpartum psychosis and could not appreciate the wrongfulness of her actions or conform her conduct to the law. The Commonwealth challenged the timing and corroboration of the alleged voice, while hospital chaplain Sheila Kavanaugh testified that Clancy described a persistent male voice during several visits.

Plus, Josh and Randolph break down Karmelo Anthony’s motion for a new trial, including the disputed “gentleman’s agreement” over character evidence and whether restrictions on courtroom access violated his Sixth Amendment right to a public trial.
