Children Cannot Be Footnotes. What the Lindsay Clancy Jury Must Decide | Profiling Evil
The Lindsay Clancy trial is difficult to watch because nearly every discussion has centered on Lindsay’s mental health, her treatment and whether she was experiencing psychosis.

Did Lindsay Clancy Know Killing Her Kids Was Wrong ? | Profiling Evil
Lindsay Clancy has never denied killing her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months old. That's not what this trial is about.

The Lindsay Clancy Trial: Can the State Win on Emotion? | Profiling Evil
Days seven and eight of the Lindsay Clancy trial brought the jury toxicology results, DNA findings, testimony from the children’s former nanny, friends and relatives, and deeply difficult medical evidence concerning the murders of Cora, Dawson and Callan Clancy.

Lindsay Clancy Speaks in Court: What Her Forensic Stipulation Really Means | Profiling Evil
Lindsay Clancy spoke in court for the first time during her trial and personally agreed to a broad stipulation covering important parts of the Commonwealth’s forensic case.

In this episode, I look at what Lindsay agreed to

The murder trial of Lindsay Clancy begins with two radically different accounts of the same tragedy.

Charlie Kirk vs. Tyler Robinson. The Fight Over What the Public Gets to Hear | Profiling Evil
The Tyler Robinson preliminary hearing is less about dramatic testimony and more about the fight over what the judge, the public, the media, and eventually a jury pool should be allowed to hear before trial.

Pay attention to the way inves
