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.

Lindsay Clancy, 34, is on trial in Plymouth Superior Court on three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation for the January 24, 2023, deaths of her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months — allegedly strangled with exercise resistance bands in the family's Duxbury home. She has pleaded not guilty; defense attorney Kevin Reddington is arguing an insanity defense built on postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.

The prosecution's cross of defense psychologist Dr. Paul Zeizel this week wasn't subtle, and it wasn't meant to be. They opened by questioning whether his prior forensic evaluations were done on behalf of the Commonwealth or the defense, then put a dollar figure on the table — about $300,000 a year in fees for his consulting work — the kind of number that's hard to un-hear. From there, the prosecution walked through a detail that lands harder than it sounds: Zeizel let Clancy use his phone early in their work together to call her husband, and when she got him on the line, she didn't ask about her kids. They also pressed on the voices Clancy reportedly told her husband, family, and a hospital chaplain she was hearing — voices that, according to the prosecution, never came up with any of her other psychological providers. Then came the paper trail. Prosecutors read from Tewksbury Hospital records documenting her presentation on some of the hardest days imaginable — her children's birthdays, the anniversary of their deaths — describing her as pleasant, engaged in activities, compliant with medication, and showing no self-injurious behavior. The cross ended with the prosecution accusing Zeizel of bias, calling Clancy "his patient" rather than a forensic subject.

Patrick Clancy was out running errands when it happened and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues for several more weeks.

Warren Hudson, Jax Pitalo, and Morgan Seymour say they last saw Nolan Wells alive on the afternoon of July 4 on Horn Island. They say he chose to stay after meeting an unknown woman. They say his phone stayed on the boat, which is how it made it back to the mainland without him. Since those statements, all three have faced death threats and online harassment. Some have been forced to leave school or their homes. Their attorneys describe their lives as upended. They've hired a defamation lawyer connected to Trump's legal team to pursue claims against people spreading accusations. The accusations trace back to Nolan's mother, who says she opened the phone and found two empty Snapchat accounts on a device that belonged to a teenager who was constantly on social media. She believed someone tampered with it. That claim went national before any forensic expert touched the device. Six weeks later, the phone still hasn't been examined. The family has had it the entire time. They have forensic experts on retainer who they describe as being on standby. A single extraction could show whether data was deleted or whether Horn Island's lack of cell service explains the empty accounts. That extraction could clear three young men or build a case. Instead, the phone sits in Ocean Springs while attorneys on all sides argue about the terms of looking at it.

There's a version of this conversation where somebody says it's just the internet and none of it matters. Patrick Clancy would disagree. He's getting death threats from strangers who've never been inside Plymouth Superior Court. Creators with audiences in the hundreds of thousands are calling him a child killer. A Boston University researcher told the press that the social media response to this trial represents a failure of public discourse.

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski for the final part of their conversation about the Lindsay Clancy culture war — and this one is about the audience. Not the case. Not the conspiracy theories. The people consuming the case and what it's doing to them.

Shavaun explains how the Clancy case gives people something most daily life doesn't — permission to feel absolute moral certainty. The fury feels righteous. The engagement feels like justice work. The two-in-the-morning posting feels productive. She identifies this pattern as displacement aggression — rage that belongs elsewhere in your life finding a target that feels noble. The person doing it can rarely see it.

She covers the moment when healthy engagement with a case tips into something a clinician would recognize. She addresses what sustained online hatred does to someone carrying the kind of grief Patrick carries. And she answers whether someone locked in can come back.

Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Nightbird, discuss what the Lindsay Clancy trial exposed about the people watching it.

Three weeks into testimony at Plymouth Superior Court, the Lindsay Clancy trial produced something nobody anticipated. Both sides in the courtroom agree on the central fact — Lindsay killed her three children. The only question is criminal responsibility. Outside the courtroom, the internet turned the case into the most vicious gender war in true crime history.

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Nightbird, joins Tony Brueski for the full three-part conversation on the psychology driving the divide. She covers the malfunction first. Why the brain demands a conspiracy proportional to the tragedy. Why debunking makes belief stronger. Why comment sections are full of people describing physical distress over a case with no connection to their lives.

She moves into the gender split. Men on X are demanding punishment. Women on Threads and Instagram have constructed an alternate version of events where Patrick is a narcissist. Shavaun identifies what each side is actually fighting about — narcissistic-abuse survivors projecting their own experience onto Patrick, men channeling unrelated rage into a target that feels justified.

The conversation closes on the audience itself. Where engagement becomes clinical. What death threats do to a man carrying Patrick's grief. Whether a woman locked into the conspiracy and sitting across from Shavaun could actually hear what she'd say.

Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott discuss the complete psychology of the Lindsay Clancy culture war.

"We did the other one." Five words Keffe D Davis offered voluntarily to an LAPD detective who was investigating a completely different murder. Daryn Dupree was working the Biggie Smalls homicide case when Davis told him that remark. Dupree testified on Day 3 of the murder trial that "the only other one was Tupac." Nobody asked Davis about Tupac. He brought it up himself.

Before Dupree took the stand, the jury heard from Wade Lee, a former FBI agent who investigated Davis for drug trafficking in the late 1990s. Lee conducted a proffer interview with Davis in 1998, just two years after Tupac Shakur was shot and killed on the Las Vegas Strip. Davis was identified as a person of interest in the murder.

The prosecution clarified a critical distinction on Day 3: Davis's proffer carried no immunity. Nothing he said in that room with federal agents was legally protected.

Lee testified there was no proof Davis ordered a hit and that the FBI never independently verified Davis was in Las Vegas the night Tupac was shot. The jury submitted questions about what the FBI did with Davis's statements and why the case took twenty-seven years to reach a courtroom.

Davis had served prison time on drug charges. Two law enforcement officers, from two separate agencies, heard Davis discuss Tupac's murder across different decades.

Cross-examination of Dupree began at 3:43 p.m. and will continue when court resumes.
