Judge William Sullivan ruled on August 26 that Lindsay Clancy's jury can consider involuntary manslaughter as a lesser included offense — over the prosecution's objection. The Commonwealth charged Clancy with first-degree murder and fought to keep manslaughter off the verdict slip. Sullivan put it there anyway.

The ruling came after the prosecution's final expert gave the Commonwealth the clinical testimony it needed — and then undercut the prosecution's own rhetoric under cross-examination. FBI psychiatrist Gregory Saathoff had told the jury Clancy was in control and her account of the voice was unconvincing.

Reddington then read the prosecution's own opening statement aloud — the version that called Clancy's decision "the selfish choice." He asked the FBI psychiatrist if he agreed with the prosecution's words.

Saathoff told the jury the characterization "really minimizes what she was going through." The Commonwealth's final witness rejected the Commonwealth's own rhetoric.

The jury now has four possible verdicts: first-degree murder, second-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter, or not criminally responsible. Reddington also asked for a jury instruction on inadequate police investigation, arguing officers "didn't investigate anything" and didn't test blood at the scene. Sullivan declined that instruction. Closing arguments Thursday.

A murder trial without a weapon, without DNA, and without the person who allegedly pulled the trigger sounds impossible. In Las Vegas, it's happening. Duane "Keffe D" Davis faces one count of murder with a deadly weapon and a gang enhancement in the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur. He's 63, has pleaded not guilty, and has been jailed since September 2023. Prosecutors aren't arguing he fired the shots. Their theory is that he was the shot caller, the person who gave the order and provided the gun, riding in the front passenger seat of the white Cadillac that pulled alongside Tupac at a red light near the Strip. The alleged shooter, Davis's nephew Orlando Anderson, denied involvement and died in Compton in 1998. Judge Carli Kierny has ruled what the state does have admissible. After his arrest Davis reversed course entirely, telling ABC News he's innocent and made it all up for money. Every defense motion has failed, including the immunity claim built on a 2008 proffer agreement with an LAPD task force. Las Vegas police had those 2008 statements by 2009 and made no arrest for fourteen years. Tupac's family has waited three decades for a courtroom.

Nolan Wells documented everything. Eighteen years old, active on Snapchat, the kind of kid whose phone tells a story. So when his mother, Christine Wells-Wonsley, got that phone back after his death, both of his Snapchat accounts being completely empty wasn't nothing — it was a red flag she couldn't ignore.
Nolan went to a July 4 boat party on Horn Island, Mississippi. He was the only one who didn't come home. His body was found two days later in the water, and the sheriff ruled out foul play before the autopsy, toxicology, or the FBI's phone examination were complete. Christine didn't even know he was missing until almost midnight — hours after the boat docked and his friends left with his phone and keys.
The official state autopsy is still sealed. The DA says a grand jury will eventually review it, with no date attached. The family's independent autopsy came back "undetermined," in part because parts of Nolan's throat were missing by the time their own pathologist examined the body.
On the day they buried him, the family's attorneys sent ten-page preservation-of-evidence letters to everyone connected to the case — the friends, their families, the sheriff's office, the DA, the coroner, the state medical examiner. Nine days later, Christine filed court-ordered subpoenas against five tech companies, demanding GPS data, login histories, direct messages, and password reset records, with a twenty-one-day response window.
A contradiction has also emerged between Nolan's friends' account and the account of the girl he allegedly stayed behind to talk to. Attorney Ben Crump is involved. Christine isn't waiting for Mississippi to move — she's building her own case, thread by thread.
