Lindsay Clancy Could End Up Like THIS Other Mother

There's a woman who already lived through the exact legal question hanging over the Lindsay Clancy case — she killed her five children, was found not guilty by reason of insanity, and has stayed locked up for more than two decades since. Her name is Andrea Yates, and defense trial attorney Bob Motta says her outcome is the closest thing to a preview of what happens to Lindsay Clancy next.
Motta sat through all five weeks of the Clancy trial and breaks down the five verdicts this jury was choosing between — not guilty, not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility, first-degree murder, second-degree murder, manslaughter — and what each one actually means day to day. Some paths lead to prison with no parole. Others lead to a psychiatric commitment with no maximum sentence, annual evaluations, and a locked ward that looks a lot like the one Lindsay Clancy has been living in since her children — Cora, Dawson, and Callan — died and she tried to take her own life on January 24, 2023. Motta also unpacks the malpractice lawsuits she and her husband Patrick filed against her medical providers, and what a criminal verdict could mean for those cases.
Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis covers what happens if the jury can't get there at all. A retrial is the obvious move — Massachusetts just retried Karen Read within minutes of her own deadlock — but Lindsay Clancy also has the option to waive a jury completely and let a single judge decide. Faddis explains why that changes everything, and why Kevin Reddington's already-denied bifurcation motion might get a second look.
Two guests, one case, and a defendant who may already know how this ends.
