from Straight Talk With Bill Frady
During Hour 3 of filling in for Bill Frady on September 4, 2026, guest host Heidi Harris provided live coverage and commentary on the high-profile Lindsay Clancy trial. The broadcast captured the moment the Massachusetts judge formally declared a mistrial due to a deadlocked jury, following a single holdout juror. Heidi discussed the emotional toll on the victims' family, specifically highlighting the father, Patrick Clancy, and responded to caller opinions regarding accountability, mental illness, and judicial standards. Later in the hour, the show aired live statements from Plymouth County District Attorney Tim Cruz, who praised the efforts of the jury and law enforcement while reaffirming the prosecution's commitment to seeking justice for the three young victims.

What this episode covers
Heidi Harris: Well, they're supposed to be coming back, I guess any minute now. They went to a... I guess to... what did they do? I guess they went to a recess, and they're going to come back and we're going to see what's going to happen. Massachusetts Supreme Court's hearing in the Clancy defense motion for stay. So when we get more information, we'll let you know. I can't imagine that they would do it. They're... you know, basically what it comes down to, in case you just joined us, is the defense attorney for Lindsay Clancy wants the one person who's dissenting, who's standing his ground, who apparently, based on everything we've seen and heard, apparently is going to... does not want to see her exonerated, and he wants that guy off the jury. Can't blame him, he's a defense attorney. God bless this guy, and all I can say is one of two things should happen at the end of this: either this guy is bold enough, strong enough to go out there and stand up to whatever they throw at him, or he just goes and hides, because he has no idea what these ladies with pink stuff on their heads are going to even do. I mean, he has no idea how awful they can be. They could be the worst people in the entire world. So we'll keep you updated if there's anything. We were talking... let me get to a couple of quick phone calls here, and then I'll get into... got some other topics I want to get to today, unless something breaks with Lindsay Clancy. 800-905-0989. John from Spartanburg, how are you? Welcome to the Bill Frady Show. John: Hi, Heidi. How you doing? Heidi Harris: Good! John: Uh, you know, I was raised old school, right? I raised my son by myself. He's 15 years old now. The comments you made about how some men pick the wrong woman to have a kid with, I was one of them men. Well, I made her leave because she was worthless, drug addict and all that. You know, I didn't know this at the time. Well, I raised my son by myself, and he's 15 now, he's a fine young man. Uh, if I'd have been that father, you know... like, some parents, you know, they're like CDL drivers. You know, some CDL drivers that's got CDLs ain't a CDL, ain't a truck driver. They're just a CDL driver holder, you know? Uh, just because you have a kid don't mean you're a parent. Heidi Harris: Oh, that's right! I mean, I'm going to stop you there. That's important, John, because there are plenty of people... look at the news every single day. There are people who have the instincts... alley cats have better instincts than some people who have children. And we don't need to go down the list of what people do to their children. So this idea that a mother wouldn't do that, or a mother who loves her children wouldn't do that, that's not true! John: That's exactly right. And I'm going to tell you something, if I'd have been that father and I'd have walked in my house and seen my babies dead right there, that woman would have been on the back of a milk carton. Heidi Harris: Well, that's... people have said that today. I can't... God bless this guy. I mean, your entire world is shattered, and why are we talking about him? John: Yeah. And you know, they talk about, "Oh, hell, he moved on too quick." That man had every right to move on with his life, you know? I don't condemn that man for finding happiness after he's been through hell. Heidi Harris: No, I think he just got married, by the way. I think it was just like last year, and he was single for a couple of years. God bless him for trying to rebuild his life! And here's the thing: you know, they say, "Oh, he's not saying much." He's not a public figure! He's a man who had his life put in a blender, and he's doing the best he can to move on, and then having to be dragged back into this nonsense. I mean, not that you ever move on from losing your children, but I mean, he's not a public figure, he's not going to be out there making statements, that's not who he is. John: No. Just like that man that was married to Susan Smit ...
