Lindsay Clancy's Own Journal Read by Both Sides, Timothy Busfield's Bid to Toss His Indictment, a Psychologist on Chris Watts

Jurors in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial heard her private journals read aloud Monday, with State Police and the Commonwealth using them to argue she was oriented and self-monitoring, and defense attorney Kevin Reddington reading from the same pages to argue she was a woman asking for help. Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse, has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the January 2023 deaths of Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, at their Duxbury, Massachusetts home; she does not dispute causing their deaths and contests criminal responsibility. Jurors also heard from a Brigham and Women's forensic psychiatrist who evaluated Clancy two days after the killings. Also: actor and director Timothy Busfield goes before a New Mexico judge August 25 on a motion to quash the Bernalillo County indictment charging him with four counts of criminal sexual contact of a child under 13. Busfield has pleaded not guilty, denies the allegations, and is presumed innocent; his lawyers argue the grand jury proceeding was improperly conducted. And a look back at the 2018 Watts family murders in Frederick, Colorado, and one forensic psychologist's framework for what drove them — with a clear line between explaining a man and excusing him.Join our new FB groups page here.
