Lindsay Clancy Trial: Was It Psychosis or Methodical Planning? With Special Guest Lawyer Lee

Two psychiatrists reviewed much of the same evidence and gave the Lindsay Clancy jury completely different answers. The defense says Clancy was psychotic and acting under the control of a commanding voice. The Commonwealth says she was severely depressed, methodically carried out a plan and understood that killing her children was wrong.Former prosecutor and criminal defense attorney Joshua Ritter is joined by trial attorney and legal commentator Lawyer Lee to test those competing opinions, explain Massachusetts’ criminal-responsibility standard and identify the evidence most likely to decide the verdict as the Commonwealth completes its rebuttal.Plus, Josh examines the new-trial fight involving Karmelo Anthony, the death-penalty arguments in the Tyler Robinson case, Laken Snelling’s guilty plea and this week’s Hero of the Week.UPDATE: After this livestream, the judge denied Karmelo Anthony’s request for a new trial. Our discussion at 42:55 was recorded before the ruling.00:00 Two Experts, Two Conclusions01:03 Welcome and Show Preview03:38 Lindsay Clancy Trial with Lawyer Lee06:36 How Massachusetts Insanity Law Changes the Case16:47 Defense Expert on Temporary Psychosis20:15 The Circular Logic Problem24:58 Commonwealth Rebuttal Expert32:30 Verdict and Deliberation Predictions35:53 Viewer Questions About Psychosis42:55 Karmelo Anthony’s New-Trial Fight51:22 Tyler Robinson Death-Penalty Motion54:21 Laken Snelling Pleads Guilty61:32 Hero of the Week: K9 Ace64:32 Announcements and ProgrammingFollow Lawyer Lee:https://www.youtube.com/@harvardlawyerleehttps://x.com/LawyerLeeWAbout Joshua Ritter:Joshua Ritter is a criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor providing legal commentary and analysis on the nation’s biggest true crime cases.Follow Josh:https://x.com/JoshuaRitterESQhttps://www.instagram.com/joshuaritteresq/https://www.joshuaritter.com/https://www.thecourtroomconfidential.com/Follow Courtroom Confidential:https://x.com/CRConfidentialhttps://www.facebook.com/courtroomconfidential/https://www.instagram.com/thecourtroomconfidential/?hl=enMerch:https://shop.thecourtroomconfidential.com/Support our moderators:https://buymeacoffee.com/courtroomconfidentialDISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for educational purposes only.
