Why Lindsay Clancy's Own Lawyer Isn't Believed

About this episode

Nobody disputes what happened to Lindsay Clancy's three children. Not the prosecution. Not her own defense attorney, who told the jury in opening statements that she did it. Patrick Clancy testified about finding Cora, Dawson, and Callan in their Duxbury home. Surveillance footage, phone records, and the 911 call all corroborate the same account. And still, a massive online audience has decided the entire case is a cover-up. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Nightbird, joins Tony Brueski for a two-part conversation on why agreement from both sides of a courtroom isn't enough to satisfy people who've already made up their minds. She breaks down why a tragedy this size creates a psychological need for a villain worse than a mother suffering catastrophic psychosis — and why every fact introduced to correct the record just adds fuel instead of putting it out. Then the conversation turns to the people doing the posting themselves. They report real physical symptoms — shaking hands, sleepless nights, rage over strangers they will never meet. Scott explains how the case has become an outlet for something that has nothing to do with Duxbury, and what it's costing the people it's aimed at. Patrick Clancy is now receiving death threats over a version of events even Lindsay's own lawyer has never argued. Scott closes with what she'd say to someone who is completely certain of a story the evidence doesn't support.
