The Trial: USA · The Trial of Lindsay Clancy - The Jury Deliberates · 28 Aug 2026 podcast

However, the defense disputes that and also points to things like her intrusive thoughts, where she said back in December that she had thoughts of harming the children. voice-verified

And to the defense experts, that was part of voice-verified

leading to the point of psychosis. voice-verified

So, you know, this is where the finality of the case has really boiled down to this battle of the experts where you have very credible defense experts and very credible state experts giving opposing views. voice-verified

They're looking at the same evidence of her mental health, the same evidence from the day of the killings. voice-verified

and from, you know, their own extensive evaluations of her afterwards, but coming to different conclusions as to whether or not she was in control of her actions at the exact moment of the killings. voice-verified

And that's really what this case boils down to. voice-verified

So of course, Lindsay Clancy has been charged with three counts of first degree murder. voice-verified

But the jury is also able to consider lesser charges and in this hearing the two sides discussed what those lesser charges could be and the judge made a ruling. voice-verified

So now also on the table is second degree murder. voice-verified

And manslaughter. voice-verified

The burden is obviously lower to find her guilty of manslaughter. voice-verified

Yeah, so the you know, this was something that came at the request of the defense and you know, it seems as though they obviously believe that this is a win because it gives the option of a lower charge. voice-verified

However, because it gives an option of a lower charge, my thinking was the same as you. voice-verified

That also, you know, creates more opportunities for a conviction. voice-verified

Whereas the bar for first degree murder is quite high and the burden is on the state to prove that. voice-verified

So to create several more options, you do wonder what that is going to do to the discussions now taking place in the jury room. voice-verified

Yeah, it definitely puts more options on the table and also reduces the burden that the state must obviously reach. voice-verified

I mean, with first degree murder, it is a high bar. voice-verified

So for first degree murder that requires an element of premeditation. voice-verified
