Lindsay Clancy's Nurse Raised Bipolar Six Weeks Before the Killings, Jury Selection Continues in the Tupac Trial, Gotti's Grandson Reports

Lindsay Clancy's Nurse Raised Bipolar Six Weeks Before the Killings, Jury Selection Continues in the Tupac Trial, Gotti's Grandson Reports

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. Clancy has since been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Jollotta also testified Clancy scored 23 on the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale in November 2022, and that Clancy never indicated a plan to harm herself or her children. Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, and contests criminal responsibility. Judge William Sullivan also declined for now to let a former McLean Hospital social worker testify about conditions at the facility, telling the courtroom the trial "is not Tripadvisor." Also: jury selection continues in Las Vegas in the Tupac Shakur murder trial, with opening statements expected Monday. And John Gotti's grandson Carmine Agnello surrendered to federal prison after a judge denied a third delay tied to a kidney donation that never happened.

Caalaroga Shark Media.

2
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:12.000
Good morning.

3
00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:15.080
This is daily Crime and Justice from Calaroga Shark Media,

4
00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:20.120
powered by AI. I'm Garrett Fischer. Thursday, August thirteenth, twenty

5
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:24.800
twenty six. On Tuesday, Lindsey Clancy turned thirty six years old.

6
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:27.320
She spent her birthday in a wheelchair in Plymouth Superior

7
00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:30.480
Court listening to a nurse practitioner read out messages she

8
00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:32.920
had sent from a hospital patient portal in the winter

9
00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:36.799
of twenty twenty two, messages about intrusive thoughts she had

10
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:41.280
never had before, about feeling completely hopeless, about being afraid

11
00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:44.880
she was getting addicted to her own medication. Cora Clancy

12
00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:48.119
would be eight now, Dawson would be six, Callen would

13
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:50.719
be four. I'm not going to make a bigger point

14
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:53.399
out of that than it deserves. Birthdays happen in the

15
00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:56.719
middle of trials, but it was in the coverage and

16
00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:59.320
it belongs in the record, because this is the thing

17
00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:02.079
about a case like this one. Every single person in

18
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:05.400
that room lost something on January twenty fourth, twenty twenty three,

19
00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:09.719
and one of them is the reason. Today a full

20
00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:12.680
day of testimony from the two nurse practitioners who managed

21
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:16.239
Lindsay Clancy's care at a perinatal program, including the one

22
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:19.799
who raised bipolar disorder with her six weeks before the killings,

23
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:23.519
a fight over whether a former hospital social worker who

24
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:26.599
has been posting about this trial on TikTok gets to

25
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:29.519
take the stand, and the judge's answer, which I have

26
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:33.400
been quoting to myself for two days. Then Las Vegas,

27
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:35.519
where they are still trying to see a jury in

28
00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:39.359
the Tupac Shakur murder trial and asking candidates whether they

29
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:42.680
can stomach autopsy photographs of a man whose music they

30
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:46.239
grew up on. And in New York, the Gatzi kidney

31
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.799
story ended, and it ended the way these things usually end.

32
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:52.480
I also owe you a correction on something we aired

33
00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:54.959
earlier this week, and I'd rather do that up front

34
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:59.560
than bury it. I'm Garrett Fisher, this is Daily Crime

35
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:00.439
and justiss.

36
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:06.760
First the correction.

37
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:10.680
On Tuesday show, I told you that Kevin Reddington, Lindsey

38
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:14.039
Clancy's defense attorney, had accused a prosecutor of being caught

39
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:17.000
on a hot microphone saying shut her up while his

40
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:19.479
client was sobbing during autopsy testimony.

41
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:22.039
I reported it as an accusation.

42
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:24.280
Which it was, but I did not tell you what

43
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:27.080
the District Attorney's office said back, and by then they

44
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:30.719
had already said it. The Plymouth County District Attorney's Office

45
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:33.639
reviewed the video and says the words were shut it

46
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:37.240
off and that they referred to taking the autopsy photographs

47
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:41.280
down off the courtroom screen. The office had initially attributed

48
00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:44.080
the comment to one of its own prosecutors, before issuing

49
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:47.759
that clarification. The audio is a whisper picked up while

50
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:50.360
the camera was pointed at the State Seal, and reporters

51
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:52.439
who have listened to it say it is hard to

52
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:57.080
make out. Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Sprague, for what it's worth,

53
00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:00.599
appeared confused when the accusation was made and turned to

54
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:05.240
her co counsil mouthing the word what so an accusation

55
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:07.960
was made in open court, it was disputed, and the

56
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:08.919
dispute matters.

57
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:10.439
That's on me.

58
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:13.960
You should have had both has on Tuesday, and now

59
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:17.639
you have them. Judge William Sullivan's response to the whole thing,

60
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:20.439
by the way, was to warn the entire courtroom that

61
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:24.360
there would be no inappropriate or disruptive comments, that anyone

62
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:26.680
who made one would be escorted out, and barred for

63
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:30.560
the rest of the trial, and that there are microphones everywhere.

64
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:34.360
He said there would be no warnings and no yellow

65
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:39.280
cards now. Tuesday, before the jury came in, Reddington made

66
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:41.840
a play I have not seen before, and I want

67
00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:44.159
to walk you through it because it tells you exactly

68
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:47.199
what kind of trial this has become. He asked to

69
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:51.280
add a witness named Emily Thorndike. Thorndyke is a former

70
00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:54.840
social worker at McLean Hospital. She worked for several years

71
00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:57.759
on the unit where Lindsay Clancy was hospitalized over New

72
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:00.199
Years of twenty twenty three in the weeks before for

73
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:04.000
the killings. She was not Clancy's social worker. She has

74
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:07.719
no direct knowledge of Clancy's treatment. What she does have

75
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:10.319
is a TikTok account on which she has been posting

76
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:14.479
about this case. Reddington's argument was that prosecutors had made

77
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:17.639
McLain out to be a five star institution where his

78
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:22.120
client was blithely refusing care, and that this simply was

79
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:26.000
not so. He said Thorndyke was willing to testify about

80
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:30.360
what he called the woeful environment McLain offers, particularly around

81
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:33.639
major holidays. He told the court he had vetted her

82
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:36.079
to make sure she didn't have an axe to grind

83
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:40.639
with the hospital. Assistant District Attorney Shenan Buckingham objected on

84
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:45.160
two grounds. The disclosure was late, and Thorndyke has no

85
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:48.319
direct knowledge of what happened to this patient. She also

86
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:52.120
noted that Thorndyke has admittedly been following the trial, which

87
00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:56.439
normally would be disqualifying under a sequestration order. And Judge

88
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:59.839
Sullivan said the thing. He said he could not imagine

89
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:02.160
a allowing that witness to give what amounted to a

90
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:06.319
review of McLean's and then this is not trip advisor.

91
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:10.600
I wouldn't allow that. Look, I'm going to be honest

92
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:13.160
with you. That's a great line, and it's also correct

93
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:16.720
because here's what was actually being proposed. A woman who

94
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:19.120
used to work somewhere, who now posts about a murder

95
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:22.279
trial on social media, testifying to a jury about the

96
00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:25.800
general vibe of a psychiatric unit, not what happened to

97
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:28.360
Lindsay Clancy, what the place is like.

98
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:29.759
That is not evidence.

99
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:33.439
That's a Yelp review with a subpoena. But watch what

100
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:35.839
Sullivan did next, because he did not just say no.

101
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:38.560
He suggested the two sides might be able to agree

102
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:42.439
on a way to establish the actual facts staffing levels

103
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:46.680
at McLain over holidays, what programming was and wasn't offered.

104
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:50.959
And he said he's inclined to question Thorndyke or somebody

105
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:55.480
comparable under Varder outside the presence of the jury on

106
00:05:55.680 --> 00:06:00.279
exactly that narrow question. That's the distinction that matters. How

107
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:04.120
did you feel about working there is inadmissible. How many

108
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:06.600
clinicians were on that unit on New Year's Day is

109
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:09.439
a fact. And if the answer is that a woman

110
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:13.000
in psychiatric crisis was admitted to a skeleton holiday staff

111
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:16.399
and discharged five days later, that is something a jury

112
00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:20.199
is entitled to know. This is the second time in

113
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:23.680
two days that Sullivan has narrowed a defense request rather

114
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:27.240
than killing it. On Monday, he reversed himself and let

115
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:31.879
two doctors testify about Clancy's injuries. Now this he is

116
00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:35.160
drawing a line between grievance and evidence, and he keeps

117
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:36.519
landing on the right side of it.

118
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:37.920
We'll be right back.

119
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:51.519
Coret Clancy was five years old, Dawson Clancy was three,

120
00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:55.199
Callan Clancy was eight months old. They were strangled with

121
00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:59.040
exercise bands in the basement of their home in Duxbury, Massachusetts,

122
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:02.079
on January twenty five, twenty twenty three, by their mother,

123
00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:04.759
who has admitted doing it and who is pleaded not

124
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:07.120
guilty to three counts of first degree murder on the

125
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:11.920
ground that she was not criminally responsible. She is presumed innocent.

126
00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:14.959
That has not changed and will not change until twelve

127
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.959
people say so. Tuesday belonged to two women who tried

128
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:22.480
to treat her first. Julie Paul finished up. She's the

129
00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:26.279
psychiatric nurse practitioner from the South Shore Health Perinatal Behavioral

130
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:30.040
Health Program who started seeing Clancy in November of twenty

131
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:33.000
twenty two, and Paul had already given the jury a

132
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:36.000
number that I think is the single most important piece

133
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:38.560
of evidence anybody has put in front of them so far.

134
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:43.439
There is a screening instrument called the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale.

135
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:47.759
It's the standard tool. It's thirty points. Ten is usually

136
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:50.199
the threshold where somebody says we need to look at

137
00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:54.480
this more closely. Lindsey Clancy scored twenty three twenty three

138
00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:57.560
out of thirty. In November of twenty twenty two. Paul

139
00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:02.160
testified the screening showed extremings and in the same breath.

140
00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:06.319
Paul testified that Clancy denied suicidal thoughts and denied hallucinations,

141
00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:08.639
and that she asked her directly whether she wanted to

142
00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:12.920
hurt herself or her children, and Clancy said no. Remember

143
00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:17.040
that number, because on Monday, doctor Jennifer Tuff's, the psychiatrist

144
00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:21.240
writing roughly half of this woman's thirty odd prescriptions, testified

145
00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:23.879
she was not aware that the postpartum screening had ever

146
00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:26.920
been administered or that it came back showing severe depression.

147
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:30.560
The test existed, the score existed, the.

148
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:34.159
Prescriber didn't know, and I want to be fair about why,

149
00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:37.200
because Tuffs gave an answer for it on Monday, and

150
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:40.480
it's not a stupid one. Reddington went after her for

151
00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:44.120
not chasing down records from Clancy's other providers or talking

152
00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:47.879
to her family, and Tufts testified she was constrained by

153
00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:52.759
HYPEI the Federal medical privacy law. Now HEYPA does not

154
00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:56.120
actually stop a treating clinician from requesting records for the

155
00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:57.559
purpose of treating a patient.

156
00:08:58.679 --> 00:08:59.639
That's what it's for.

157
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:02.000
But there is a version of this that happens in

158
00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:05.720
real practice all the time, where privacy rules get read defensively,

159
00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:07.840
where nobody wants to be the one who made the

160
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:10.759
call they weren't supposed to make, and the result is

161
00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:14.120
four different providers, each holding one quarter of a picture.

162
00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:17.559
That's the argument the defense is making, whether or not

163
00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:21.159
they say it in those words, not that anyone was cruel,

164
00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:23.919
that the system was built so that no single person

165
00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:26.480
had to look at all of it at once. Paul

166
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:30.080
also described trying prozac and it going wrong. She explained

167
00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:32.519
the drug takes four to six weeks to do anything,

168
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:36.200
but side effects show up in the first two. Clancy

169
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:39.279
was nervous about starting it, and after three days reported

170
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:42.720
feeling disconnected and out of it. Paul's testimony on this

171
00:09:42.919 --> 00:09:46.120
was honest in a way I appreciated. She said, when

172
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:49.720
a patient doesn't have buy into a medication, it's awful

173
00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:52.919
it doesn't work as well, and that Clancy simply wasn't

174
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:56.399
tolerating the activation from the prozac, so she switched her

175
00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:00.600
to something else and recommended a partial hospitalization program at

176
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:04.440
women in Infant's Hospital in Rhode Island. Clancy felt the

177
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:07.320
logistics wouldn't work for her family. That's the third time

178
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:11.360
a provider recommended a partial hospitalization program and it didn't happen,

179
00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:16.559
Tuffts suggested one. In December, Tuffs raised it again Paul

180
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:20.679
recommended women and infants in Rhode Island. On Monday, Tuffs

181
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:24.600
also testified about an infusion treatment for postpartum depression, a

182
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:27.200
sixty hour course over two and a half days, that

183
00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:29.840
she couldn't recommend because it was only available at that

184
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:33.639
same Rhode Island facility and she had no access to it.

185
00:10:34.279 --> 00:10:36.720
So the best available treatment for what this woman had

186
00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:39.440
was across a state line, and the system on this

187
00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:43.039
side of the line couldn't get her there. Reddington also

188
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:45.600
asked Tufts on Monday whether it would surprise her to

189
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:49.200
learn that Clancy called suicide hotlines twice and was turned away.

190
00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:52.840
Tuff said, yes, it would surprise her. I don't know

191
00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:56.039
what became of that. It was a question, and a

192
00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:59.320
question from a lawyer is not evidence. But if the

193
00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:02.000
defense can that in front of this jury with something

194
00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:05.440
behind it, that's a moment. And here's the moment that

195
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:09.679
I did not expect. When Paul finished, Kevin Reddington, who

196
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:12.320
has spent two weeks taking this witness stand apart with

197
00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:16.080
a crowbar, thanked her. He said she stepped up. He

198
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:19.480
said she treated his client with good care and professionalism.

199
00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:22.879
In his opinion, he noted she had called Clancy on

200
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:24.919
one of her days off and had given her a

201
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:29.399
personal cell phone number. Thank you very much for your care.

202
00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:33.080
A defense attorney running an insanity case built on medical

203
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:36.399
failure just told a jury that this particular clinician did

204
00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:39.480
it right. That is not a slip. That is a

205
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:42.320
lawyer telling twelve people. I am not here to burn

206
00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:45.759
down every doctor in Massachusetts. I'm here about the specific

207
00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:48.960
ones who failed her, and it makes everything else, he

208
00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:53.000
said land harder. Then came Rebecca Jelatta, a Board certified

209
00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:56.240
psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner at south Shore Health who

210
00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:58.919
took over Clancy's care from Julie Paul when Paul left

211
00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:01.440
the practice. She was on the stand for most of

212
00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:05.159
the day. Jelata and Clancy communicated constantly through the patient

213
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:08.679
portal the my Chart app through late November and December

214
00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:12.879
of twenty twenty two. On December first, Clancy messaged her.

215
00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:15.559
She wrote that she was having intrusive thoughts she never

216
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:19.480
had before, that she was feeling completely hopeless, that she

217
00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:22.679
was worried about becoming addicted to some of her medications.

218
00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:27.279
Jelada testified Clancy did not report feeling suicidal. What she

219
00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:30.440
reported was this, she couldn't keep going on like this.

220
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:35.200
On December sixth, Clancy reported her sleep still hadn't improved.

221
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:40.080
And this is where it happens. Jelata told Clancy and

222
00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:43.159
told Patrick Clancy, who was on that call, that she

223
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:46.720
may have an underlying bipolar disorder that was six or

224
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:50.240
seven weeks before the children died. Now hold that against

225
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:53.720
what else this jury has heard. Doctor Tuff's testified she

226
00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:57.279
and Clancy discussed by polar II given the insomnia and

227
00:12:57.320 --> 00:13:01.120
the extreme reactions to antidepressants, but that she ruled it

228
00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:05.320
out because Clancy never had mania. Lindsey Clancy has since

229
00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:09.960
been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. A forensic psychiatrist diagnosed her

230
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:14.519
with bipolar and postpartum psychosis after the killings. So the

231
00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:18.120
defense theory is not something Kevin Reddington dreamed up for trial.

232
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:21.720
It was raised out loud by a treating clinician to

233
00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:24.840
the patient and her husband in the first week of December.

234
00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:28.720
And the standard concern about bipolar illness. The reason it

235
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:32.000
matters so much which diagnosis you're working from is that

236
00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:37.240
antidepressants given to a bipolar patient can destabilize them. Jelada

237
00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:41.279
also testified about pairing low doses of multiple medications, which

238
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:43.960
she said is common practice, saying she thought it would

239
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:48.320
help with depression, anxiety, and sleep. The prosecution's counter came

240
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:50.639
on redirect and it's the same counter they've run with

241
00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:54.559
every clinician. Jelata did not believe Clancy was suffering from

242
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:59.759
postpartum psychosis, and under questioning from Shannon Buckingham, Jelada agreed

243
00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:03.320
that in all her interactions, Clancy showed clear thinking, was

244
00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:06.840
able to ask questions and advocate for herself, and never

245
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:10.200
once indicated a plan to kill herself or harm her children.

246
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:14.600
Reddington's cross went at the gaps. He asked whether Jelata

247
00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:16.200
knew Clancy had stopped driving.

248
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:17.200
She did not.

249
00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:20.960
He read notes from a social worker about Clancy losing weight.

250
00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:23.639
He asked whether she had told Clancy to tough it

251
00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:27.279
out rather than taper the valium. He asked whether Patrick

252
00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:30.960
had reported intrusive thoughts, and Joelatta said yes he had,

253
00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:35.639
and that they were intrusive suicidal thoughts documented several times

254
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:38.720
through the course of treatment, and then Reddington asked whether

255
00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:41.600
Patrick was speaking for his wife on those calls, and

256
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:45.440
Joelatta said she couldn't remember who was speaking and who wasn't.

257
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:48.679
I want to sit on that for one second, because

258
00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:50.919
it is the smallest detail of the day, and it

259
00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:54.639
might be the loudest. By December of twenty twenty two,

260
00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.440
on at least one clinical call, the person describing Lindsey

261
00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:02.279
clancy symptoms may have been her husband. She had asked

262
00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:05.200
for him to be there, which Jelata testified she had

263
00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:08.399
never done before. A labor and delivery nurse who knew

264
00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:11.799
exactly how to describe symptoms, who had been advocating for

265
00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:15.559
herself in a patient portal for months, wanted somebody else

266
00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:19.320
in the room. The prosecution will say that's nothing. People

267
00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:23.480
bring their spouses to appointments, and that's true. But the

268
00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:27.919
state's theory of this case is that Lindsey Clancy was organized, capable,

269
00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:30.840
and in control right up until the moment she chose

270
00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:34.200
to kill her children. Every piece of evidence they've put

271
00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:36.720
on has been aimed at that she made the phone calls,

272
00:15:36.919 --> 00:15:39.600
she ordered the food, she was appropriate and coherent the

273
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:42.559
day before, and the same record shows a woman who

274
00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:45.080
by early December could no longer sit alone in a

275
00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:48.519
telehealth appointment and speak for herself. Both of those things

276
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:51.600
are in the file. That's what this jury has to reconcile.

277
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:55.240
The Commonwealth may rest this week. When they do, we

278
00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:58.240
find out what the defense has more in a moment.

279
00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:14.799
Jury selection continued Tuesday in the murder trial of Dwayne Davis,

280
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:17.879
sixty three, the only person ever charged in the killing

281
00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:20.759
of Tupac Shakur. And I can now give you the

282
00:16:20.840 --> 00:16:24.360
name of the judge, which I couldn't on Wednesday, Clark

283
00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:28.320
County District Judge Carly Kearney. Davis is represented by attorney

284
00:16:28.360 --> 00:16:32.559
Michael Samft. Here's how it's going. Monday started with seventy

285
00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:36.000
five potential jurors, and more than twenty were excused before

286
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:40.240
individual questioning even began. Another seventy five were brought in Tuesday.

287
00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:43.960
They're trying to seat sixteen twelve jurors and four alternates.

288
00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:47.200
Kearney told the pool to expect a five week trial

289
00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:50.440
and promise them it would be an interesting case. Jury

290
00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:53.720
selection is expected to run through Friday, with opening statements

291
00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:57.759
anticipated Monday the seventeenth, and the questions they're asking the

292
00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:01.000
candidates tell you everything about what kind of case this is.

293
00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:03.679
What do you know about a thirty year old shooting?

294
00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:07.079
What do you think of Tupac Shakur's music? Do you

295
00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:11.440
listen to crime podcasts? And can you look at autopsy photographs?

296
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:14.440
Think about that last one for a minute. They are

297
00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:17.319
asking people whether they can stand to look at photographs

298
00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:20.319
of Tupac Shakur's body. Some of the people in that

299
00:17:20.359 --> 00:17:22.960
pool were not born when he died. Some of them

300
00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:27.559
have his lyrics memorized. There was also a significant procedural

301
00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:31.680
move on day one that got very little coverage. Davis

302
00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:34.519
waived his right to have the jury recommend a sentence.

303
00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:39.319
That means there's no penalty phase. If he's convicted, Judge

304
00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:43.039
Kearny alone decides what happens to him. That's a real decision,

305
00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:46.720
and defense lawyers make it for real reasons. A jury

306
00:17:46.759 --> 00:17:49.359
that has just sat through five weeks of testimony about

307
00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:52.160
a beloved artist dying at twenty five is not a

308
00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:56.240
jury you want deciding your client's sentence. A judge's in

309
00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:01.599
theory harder to inflame. It's also a you don't give

310
00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:04.319
up a sentencing jury if you think you're walking, You

311
00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:06.960
give it up when you're managing the downside and the

312
00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:09.720
jury pool itself is the hardest part of this case,

313
00:18:09.880 --> 00:18:12.400
which is why they're burning a week on it. A

314
00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:16.039
former federal prosecutor who isn't involved, put it well. On

315
00:18:16.119 --> 00:18:19.720
a case like this, people arrived with beliefs already formed

316
00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:25.599
about who was responsible, thirty years of documentaries, podcasts, message boards.

317
00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:25.960
And theories.

318
00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:30.000
Some of those theories point at Dwayne Davis, some point

319
00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:33.400
at people who have never been charged with anything. Every

320
00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:35.680
one of those jurors walked in with a version of

321
00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:38.519
this story in their head, and both sides have to

322
00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:41.640
find the ones who can put it down. One more thing,

323
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:45.359
and it's a good one. Marion Knight, who was driving

324
00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:48.400
the car and took a bullet fragment himself, spoke to

325
00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:51.400
ABC News from the prison where he's serving time in

326
00:18:51.440 --> 00:18:55.480
an unrelated case. His view of Davis's chances is short.

327
00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:59.079
He said everything Davis said and talked about he already

328
00:18:59.079 --> 00:19:02.759
told on himself. That's the whole prosecution. In nine words

329
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:05.759
from the only other man who was there now New

330
00:19:05.880 --> 00:19:09.680
York and an ending on Tuesday, I told you Carmi

331
00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:13.440
Gotti Agnello was facing a two o'clock Monday deadline. Donate

332
00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:16.160
the kidney to his mother or report to federal prison.

333
00:19:16.559 --> 00:19:18.960
And I told you I couldn't confirm which one happened.

334
00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:22.599
It's confirmed he went to prison. A Bureau of Prison

335
00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:26.359
spokesman confirmed Agnello surrendered late Monday and is being housed

336
00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:29.839
at the Federal Correctional Institution at Fairton, New Jersey, with

337
00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:32.880
reporting that he'll serve his fifteen months at a minimum

338
00:19:32.920 --> 00:19:38.000
security satellite camp there. The transplant never happened. Victoria Gotti

339
00:19:38.119 --> 00:19:41.960
was never medically cleared because of the infection. Agnello made

340
00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:44.799
one final push on Monday, asking the judge to keep

341
00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:48.880
the September eighteenth date. Judge nusrat Chewt Hurry denied it.

342
00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:53.119
She did give him two extra hours to report two hours.

343
00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:55.559
That's it. That's the whole reprieve.

344
00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:58.839
And there is a detail that surfaced in the coverage

345
00:19:58.880 --> 00:20:01.200
that recontextualized this entire saga.

346
00:20:01.319 --> 00:20:03.920
So let me give it to you straight back.

347
00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:07.759
In March, Agnello's lawyer at the time, Stephen Metcalf, filed

348
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:11.440
papers saying the transplant had to happen imminently or Victoria

349
00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:15.640
Gotti might die or be permanently disabled. That filing got

350
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:20.000
the sentencing moved from March thirteenth, to April twentieth. Then

351
00:20:20.160 --> 00:20:23.880
Agnello got a new lawyer, Jeffrey Lichman, and before sentencing,

352
00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:27.519
Lichman apologized to the court and clarified that Victoria Gotti

353
00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:31.359
was not, in fact on death's door. His own attorney

354
00:20:31.359 --> 00:20:35.000
walked it back to the judge in advance. So the

355
00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:38.079
urgency that bought the first delay was overstated by his

356
00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:41.319
own side, and everybody involved knew it before the sentence

357
00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:44.880
was even imposed, And then there were more delays anyway.

358
00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:49.720
Count the calendar. Guilty plea in twenty twenty four, sentencing

359
00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:53.519
pushed from March to April, fifteen months, imposed down from

360
00:20:53.559 --> 00:20:56.880
a guideline range prosecutors had pegged it closer to three years.

361
00:20:57.759 --> 00:21:01.720
Surrender push from June, pushed again to August third, pushed

362
00:21:01.759 --> 00:21:05.799
again to August tenth, Denied on August tenth plus two hours.

363
00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:09.359
That's a year and change of freedom. Passed a guilty

364
00:21:09.400 --> 00:21:12.839
plea for stealing one point one million dollars in pandemic

365
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:16.839
disaster relief, more than four hundred thousand of which prosecutors

366
00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:20.680
say went into a cryptocurrency scheme. Every extension had a

367
00:21:20.720 --> 00:21:25.160
sympathetic reason attached to it, every single one. I said

368
00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:28.680
this on Tuesday, and Tuesday proved it. Each step is defensible.

369
00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:31.680
The sum is not. There's a playbook for this, and

370
00:21:31.720 --> 00:21:35.960
the playbook is delay until everybody stops paying attention. And

371
00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:38.640
I'll say the other thing again too, because it hasn't

372
00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:42.799
stopped being true. Victoria Gotti has chronic kidney disease and

373
00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:45.720
still needs a kidney. That part was never a scheme.

374
00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:48.279
She is a sixty three year old woman with a

375
00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:51.359
real illness, and whatever her father was, she.

376
00:21:51.359 --> 00:21:52.519
Didn't choose him.

377
00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:57.240
If there's a tragedy in this story, it's hers. As

378
00:21:57.240 --> 00:22:00.000
for her son, he is now where a federal judge

379
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:02.920
decided he should be a year ago. And I have

380
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:05.680
not forgotten the twenty nine year old woman in East

381
00:22:05.720 --> 00:22:09.359
Norwich whose allegations against him from June are still pending

382
00:22:09.359 --> 00:22:12.559
in Nassau County, and who is presumed to be telling

383
00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:15.799
the truth exactly as much as he is presumed innocent.

384
00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:20.279
That case doesn't go away. Because he's in Fairton. Someone

385
00:22:20.279 --> 00:22:23.240
has to say her name. Nobody has publicly, and that's

386
00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:26.960
probably right, and it is also why almost nobody is covering.

387
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:28.359
What happened to her. Do better.

388
00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:37.200
Three stories today in Plymouth, nurse practitioners Julie Paul and

389
00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:41.759
Rebecca Jelatta testified about the perinatal program that treated Lindsey Clancy.

390
00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:45.799
Paul put a twenty three out of thirty depression screening

391
00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:49.599
score in front of the jury. Jelata testified she raised

392
00:22:49.640 --> 00:22:53.440
the possibility of an underlying bipolar disorder with Clancy and

393
00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:57.920
her husband in early December, six weeks before Cora, Dawson,

394
00:22:58.039 --> 00:23:01.759
and Callen were killed. Judge Sullivan declined for now to

395
00:23:01.839 --> 00:23:05.039
let a former McClain social worker testify about the hospital

396
00:23:05.079 --> 00:23:08.400
in general terms, but left the door open on staffing.

397
00:23:09.079 --> 00:23:13.359
Clancy has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent. In

398
00:23:13.440 --> 00:23:17.039
Las Vegas, jury selection continues before Judge Carly Kearney in

399
00:23:17.079 --> 00:23:21.000
the murder trial of Dwayne Davis, with opening statements expected Monday.

400
00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:24.880
Davis has pleaded not guilty and has waived jury sentencing.

401
00:23:25.559 --> 00:23:29.000
And in New York, carmin Gotti Agnello surrendered Monday to

402
00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:32.359
begin a fifteen month federal sentence at Fair in New Jersey.

403
00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:36.960
The kidney transplant never took place, and again my correction

404
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:40.640
the disputed hot My comment in the Clancy trial was

405
00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:43.519
reported by the District Attorney's office to be shut it

406
00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:47.680
off referring to the autopsy photos, not shut her up.

407
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:51.079
I gave you the accusation on Tuesday without the answer,

408
00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:55.160
and you deserved both. If this show is worth your time,

409
00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:58.680
send it to one person today. That's the whole ask.

410
00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:02.799
And if you're listening on Spotify, drop a comment. I

411
00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:05.440
want to hear from you on the Edinburgh score because

412
00:24:05.440 --> 00:24:08.279
a twenty three out of thirty that the prescribing psychiatrist

413
00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:12.160
never saw is either a system's failure or a hip

414
00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:15.400
a problem, or both, and the clinicians who listen to

415
00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:19.000
this show know more about that than I do. Tomorrow,

416
00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:23.440
whatever Plymouth and Las Vegas hand us, I'm Garrett Fisher.

417
00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:28.240
This is Daily Crime and Justice from Calaroga Shark Media. Disclaimer.

418
00:24:28.640 --> 00:24:31.880
This program covers active criminal proceedings and is based on

419
00:24:31.920 --> 00:24:35.799
court testimony, court filings, and reporting available at the time

420
00:24:35.799 --> 00:24:39.240
of recording. Lindsey Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three

421
00:24:39.279 --> 00:24:43.000
counts of first degree murder and is presumed innocent. She

422
00:24:43.039 --> 00:24:46.240
has acknowledged causing her children's deaths and asserts she was

423
00:24:46.319 --> 00:24:50.720
not criminally responsible. Dwayne Davis has pleaded not guilty and

424
00:24:50.839 --> 00:24:55.480
is presumed innocent. Carmine Gotti Agnello has pleaded guilty to

425
00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:58.279
federal fraud charges, but has not been convicted of the

426
00:24:58.319 --> 00:25:02.359
separate Nassau County assault charges referenced here, and is presumed

427
00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:06.440
innocent on those. No jury has ruled in any pending matter.

428
00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:11.000
Discussed a correction on our Tuesday program, we reported a

429
00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:14.720
defense allegation that a prosecutor was recorded saying shut her

430
00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:18.759
up during the Clancy trial, without including the district attorney's response.

431
00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:22.440
The Plymouth County District Attorney's office states that review of

432
00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:25.720
the video shows the words were shut it off, referring

433
00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:29.119
to autopsy photographs on a courtroom screen, and that its

434
00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:33.319
earlier attribution of the comment to a prosecutor was subsequently clarified.

435
00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:37.160
Reporters described the audio as difficult to make out. We

436
00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:40.119
should have carried both accounts, and we regret the omission.

437
00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:44.559
In the Clancy trial, outlets differ on callan Clancy's age

438
00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:49.359
at death reported as seven to eight months. Testimony described

439
00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:53.400
here reflects reporting from multiple outlets and is paraphrase. The

440
00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:56.960
ruling on the proposed McClain witness was taken under advisements

441
00:25:57.000 --> 00:26:00.079
and had not been finally resolved at the time of recording.

442
00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:04.720
Doctor Jennifer Tuff's and doctor Eliah Goodhart are named defendants

443
00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:07.640
in civil malpractice suits that have not been tried.

444
00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:08.920
And deny wrongdoing.

445
00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:12.640
Nothing here is a finding about the quality of any

446
00:26:12.680 --> 00:26:16.680
provider's care. In the Las Vegas matter, prosecutors do not

447
00:26:16.799 --> 00:26:20.160
allege Duayne Davis fire the shots that killed Tupac Shakur.

448
00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:24.079
Statements attributed to Davis come from a memoir he co

449
00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:27.799
authored and from recorded interviews, and his attorneys have argued

450
00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:31.960
the book was fictionalized. Sean Combs has denied involvement in

451
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:35.079
Shakur's death and has not been charged in connection with it.

452
00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:38.960
Reporting differs on whether the trial is expected to run

453
00:26:39.039 --> 00:26:42.720
four or five weeks. In the Agnello matter, outlets report

454
00:26:42.759 --> 00:26:45.680
his age as both thirty nine and forty, and give

455
00:26:45.680 --> 00:26:49.599
his original surrender date as both June twentieth and July twentieth.

456
00:26:50.160 --> 00:26:53.319
Accounts of his sentencing date vary between March thirteenth and

457
00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:57.319
April twentieth, with reporting indicating the March date was continued.

458
00:26:57.960 --> 00:27:01.559
Descriptions of council statements about vic Toria Goatti's medical condition

459
00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:04.920
come from published reporting on court violins, which we have

460
00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:10.680
not independently reviewed. This episode discusses post part of mental illness, suicide,

461
