Trial Lawyers Break Down The Lindsay Clancy Closing Arguments

On the day both sides delivered closing arguments in the Lindsay Clancy trial - with a juror in tears during the Commonwealth's - a panel of trial lawyers breaks down what actually changed over twenty-two days, starting with a prosecution that opened accusing Clancy of manipulating her doctors and faking a suicide attempt and ended up conceding she was mentally ill and arguing only that she knew right from wrong. They walk through the manslaughter instruction nobody expected, why it was Kevin Reddington who requested it and why it would have been malpractice not to, the Tuey-Rodriguez charge that Massachusetts uses when a jury deadlocks, and the moment a prosecutor asked a grandmother on the stand whether she knew murder is a mortal sin in the Catholic faith - then let a second witness say almost the same thing twelve witnesses later, drawing an open rebuke from the judge. One panelist, a lawyer who went in expecting a conviction, says there's a reasonable reading of the evidence that favors the defense; a former Texas DA pushes back that no amount of good lawyering overcomes three children strangled with ligatures.
