Judge William Sullivan denied a defense motion for a mistrial Monday in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial, as Kevin Reddington finished a contentious cross-examination of the Commonwealth's rebuttal psychiatrist, Dr. Avram Mack — at one point asking, "What are you smiling for? This is not funny, sir." Mack has testified Clancy suffered a major depressive episode but was not psychotic, and that she recalled telling her children "go to God" as she killed them. Reddington challenged his credentials and...

A Texas judge denied Karmelo Anthony's motion for a new trial Saturday, leaving intact his murder conviction and 35-year sentence for the April 2025 stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a Frisco track meet. Retired Kaufman County Judge Michael Chitty ruled in a one-page order without explanation, two days after a hearing at which Anthony's former trial attorneys testified that a dispute over an unwritten "gentleman's agreement" with prosecutors kept him off the witness stand. Chitty was ass...

Defense psychologist Dr. Paul Zeizel finished cross-examination in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial, testifying that psychosis comes and goes "like waves at a beach" and that testing by a state-retained doctor found no evidence she was faking. Prosecutor Shanan Buckingham pressed him on the roughly sixty visits he has made to Clancy since her arrest. Judge William Sullivan barred a former McLean Hospital social worker from testifying but admitted the hospital's staffing records, then adjourned earl...

Defense expert Dr. Donald Condie, a clinical and forensic psychiatrist who reviewed Lindsay Clancy's medical records, testified that her providers' notes show postpartum depression progressing to postpartum psychosis — and acknowledged she never reported hearing voices to any treating provider before the killings. On cross, he testified she may not have reported everything out of concern about losing access to her children or risking her nursing license. Defense psychologist Dr. Paul Zeizel, who...

The Commonwealth rested its case against Lindsay Clancy on Monday after four weeks and more than seventy witnesses, and the defense opened by calling her family. Her mother, Paula Musgrove, testified that Clancy texted her in October 2022 asking her to come stay — "I'm really sick. Something is wrong" — and that in December, standing in the kitchen with Clancy and her then-husband, her daughter said she had thoughts of harming the children. On cross, Musgrove told prosecutors she was not concern...

A Los Angeles County grand jury has indicted Nick Reiner on two counts of first-degree murder in the December 2025 stabbing deaths of his parents, filmmaker Rob Reiner, 78, and photographer Michele Singer Reiner, 70, adding special circumstance allegations of multiple murder and murder by lying in wait — allegations that make the case death-penalty eligible. Reiner, 32, has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent; District Attorney Nathan Hochman's office has not said whether it will seek de...

Prosecutors in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial showed jurors notes and search history from her devices, including a note created in December 2022 and last modified January 23, 2023 — the day before she killed her three children — reading, "Medication stole my motherhood and my life." State police also testified she searched "can you treat a sociopath" days before the killings. On cross-examination, defense attorney Kevin Reddington established that an earlier search for suicide methods came from h...

Luigi Mangione pleaded guilty Friday morning in Manhattan federal court to two counts of stalking resulting in death in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. There was no plea agreement and no agreed sentencing range. Reading a statement to U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett, Mangione said he shot Thompson and that he knew what he was doing was illegal; his attorney Karen Friedman Agnifilo said he has accepted full responsibility for Thompson's death. Members of Thompson's family...

Jurors in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial saw autopsy photographs of Cora, 5, and Dawson, 3, on Wednesday, and the courtroom was cleared twice as Clancy sobbed at the defense table. Two medical examiners testified about all three children; defense attorney Kevin Reddington asked no questions on cross. Earlier that day, Reddington drew out a State Police investigator's testimony that colleagues had discussed a theory that a defense-retained psychologist prompted Clancy to tell her then-husband she ...

A psychiatric nurse practitioner testified that she raised the possibility of an underlying bipolar disorder with Lindsay Clancy and her then-husband on December 6, 2022 — about seven weeks before Clancy killed the couple's three children. Rebecca Jollotta, of South Shore Hospital's perinatal behavioral health program, cited Clancy's insomnia without tiredness and her adverse reactions to antidepressants, but testified Clancy's symptoms did not fully meet the diagnostic criteria at the time. Cla...

Jury selection began Monday in Las Vegas in the murder trial of Duane "Keffe D" Davis, 63, the only person ever charged in the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur. Davis has pleaded not guilty to one count of murder with a deadly weapon with a gang enhancement; prosecutors do not allege he fired the shots, but that he orchestrated the drive-by in retaliation for an assault on his nephew hours earlier. The case rests heavily on Davis's own 2019 memoir and prior interviews. Judge Carli Kierny is presidin...

Kevin Reddington cross-examined Dr. Jennifer Tufts on Monday, day ten of Lindsay Clancy's murder trial in Plymouth Superior Court. Tufts, the psychiatrist who treated Clancy from September 2022 through the day before the killings, testified that all fourteen of their appointments were by telemedicine and that she had never met Clancy in person until the trial. Reddington questioned her experience level, her online biography, her medication decisions, and what she knew of Clancy's care elsewhere....

On Thursday the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts vacated the first-degree murder convictions of Latarsha Sanders, who stabbed her two young sons — Edson "Marlon" Brito, 8, and La'son Brito, 5 — to death in Brockton in 2018. The court held that excluding thousands of pages of her psychiatric records, documenting a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia, was prejudicial error on the sole question before the jury: criminal responsibility. The trial judge was William Sullivan — the same judge no...

Prosecutors in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial called the family's former nanny, who told jurors Clancy was a devoted mother and described Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months — testimony the Commonwealth is using to argue Clancy was organized, oriented and in command of her household. Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the January 2023 deaths at their Duxbury, Massachusetts home and argues she was not criminally responsible due to postpartum psychosis. Jur...

On the seventh day of testimony in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial, defense attorney Kevin Reddington told Judge William Sullivan on the record that the defense is not contesting the Commonwealth's case-in-chief, stipulating to chain of custody on the blood, DNA and physical evidence — a move that could shorten the trial and narrows it to the single question of criminal responsibility. Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the January 2023 deaths of Cora, 5, Dawso...

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 ...

Six months after 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie was taken from her Tucson-area home, the Pima County Sheriff's Department and the FBI Phoenix Field Office released the full text of two ransom notes sent to Tucson CBS affiliate KOLD — the first on February 2, addressed to her daughter, Today anchor Savannah Guthrie, demanding $4 million in bitcoin; the second on February 6, claiming she had died shortly after being taken and was "buried in nature." Investigators say the notes share a distinctive lingu...

Colin Gray, the father of Apalachee High School shooter Colt Gray, was sentenced Thursday, July 30, to 15 years in prison — two days after Barrow County Superior Court Judge Nicholas Primm gave his 16-year-old son life without the possibility of parole. Colin Gray, 55, was convicted in March on 27 counts, including second-degree murder in the deaths of students Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, both 14, and involuntary manslaughter in the deaths of teachers Richard "Ricky" Aspinwall, 39, ...

Jurors in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial visited the Duxbury, Massachusetts home Friday where her three children died in January 2023 — a court-ordered jury view Judge William Sullivan permitted over the objection of the couple who now own the property. Clancy, 35, attended in a wheelchair. She has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months. Her defense does not dispute that she caused their deaths and argues lack of crimina...

Bryan Kohberger, who pleaded guilty in July 2025 to murdering four University of Idaho students, filed a handwritten petition for post-conviction relief Monday in Ada County District Court, asking to withdraw the plea and get a trial. Representing himself, Kohberger alleges ineffective assistance of counsel and says he was convinced to falsely confess. Those allegations are untested and unanswered; his plea and sentence — four consecutive life terms without parole, plus ten years — currently sta...

Lindsay Clancy's murder trial opened Monday, July 27, in Plymouth Superior Court, with her ex-husband Patrick Clancy as the Commonwealth's first witness. Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse, has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the January 24, 2023 deaths of her children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months — at the family's Duxbury, Massachusetts home. She does not dispute that she caused their deaths; the contested question is criminal responsibility. De...

A three-case roundup. In Los Angeles, David Anthony Burke — the singer known as D4vd — completed a week of preliminary-hearing testimony in the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose body was found in a vehicle at a Hollywood tow yard in September 2025, a year after she was reported missing. Burke has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder, continuous sexual abuse of a child under 14, and unlawful mutilation of human remains; prosecutors laid out physical, digital, and financial ...

A three-case roundup. In Winder, Georgia, 16-year-old Colt Gray pleaded guilty to all 55 counts, including four counts of malice murder, for the September 2024 shooting at Apalachee High School that killed teachers Richard Aspinwall and Cristina Irimie and 14-year-olds Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, and injured nine others. The plea was non-negotiated; Gray faces a minimum of life, and Judge Nicholas Primm alone will decide parole eligibility at a sentencing hearing that began this wee...

The finale of the five-part series Summer of Fear. In May, David Berkowitz declined to attend his own parole hearing — his thirteenth since becoming eligible in 2002 — and emailed the New York Post to say he is already free, and that his home is in heaven, not in the Bronx. Robert Violante, who was twenty when Berkowitz shot him in the head and who has almost no sight left, was asked what he made of that, and he answered. Garret Fisher closes the week with the demon dog Berkowitz later admitted ...
