In this episode of Legally Shay, Attorney Shay covers two highly discussed courtroom matters. She begins with Sidney Starr’s bond hearing, reviewing the arguments presented to the court, the judge’s decision, and the important distinction between a bond ruling and a final determination of guilt.

Attorney Shay then continues her coverage of the Lindsay Clancy trial, examining the expert testimony, the competing positions concerning mental illness and criminal responsibility, and the strategies being used by the prosecution and defense. She breaks down courtroom procedures in plain language, shares her observations about the testimony, and discusses the difficult questions these cases raise about due process, public opinion, mental health, and the legal system.
