There is definitely a personal cost if there's going to be a second Lindsay Clancy trial to the survivors of this tragedy, not only Lindsay herself, but Patrick, the family members, the grandparents, aunts, uncles, anyone who was close to that family that has lived through this. What's been very interesting about this trial is watching the victims gather around Lindsay, stand on her side, sit on her side of the courtroom day after day, and be in her space. You didn't see an angry mob on one side that were in any way related to Lindsay Clancy. They understand what took place. Bob Motta, Defense Attorney, is with us along with Robin Drake to discuss what's going to be going on next. Bob, how much of a consideration does a DA take into consideration when you have the whole family, everybody, the victims, everybody, all on one side saying, we get what happened here with the person accused of this crime and we don't want to see them burn. Obviously, it didn't weigh a whole lot this time. The state of Massachusetts still said, we don't care what you feel, we know better. Let's burn her.

Do they take a second closer look at that at round two since we didn't really end up with a true answers in round one? I would hope so.

I mean, is that part of the process? Do they ever sit down with the family? Do they sit down with Patrick? Do they sit down with grandma and grandpa and go, hey, what do you think? Should we go after her again?

Bob Motta (1:53)

Yeah, I mean, it depends. Every prosecutor's office is different. There's no handbook that says you have to sit down with the victim's families, but I think that again, and I was saying this in our last segment, we know where the family stands on this.

We know where they stand on this. Do they think that Patrick Clancy wants to come in there and do that again? Do they think that Sue Clancy wants to come in there and do that again? Do they think that anybody wants to go in there and do that again?

Eric Faddis (2:25)

No one wants to go in there and do that again.

Tony Brueski (2:27)

I mean, do what? Let me ask you that too. I mean, because this is something to consider too. I mean, yes, I know you could force people to come in, but to a certain extent. But what if Patrick's like, I'm not doing this again. I'm not going.

I'm not subjective. He of every damn person in this case has every understandable right to say no.

Bob Motta (2:49)

Oh, my God.

Tony Brueski (2:50)

No, I'm not subjecting myself to the fucking mob of insane people who think the earth is flat and that I killed my kids. I'm not doing that.

Bob Motta (2:59)

Times a million. He's got like, yeah, his lawyer had to put out another statement today, you know, and for those of you out there that are screaming that he did this and calling him a murderer and doing all that shit.

Tony Brueski (3:12)

Or take a flying leap.

Bob Motta (3:14)

I mean, but I'd consult an attorney because his attorneys made it clear that anybody who's making content out there that's coming after him like that with definitive calling him a murderer, saying he did this, they're coming after you. I would go consult with an attorney. He was very clear in this statement. You know, like it's this isn't this isn't a defense that was used in trial. They like there's a difference when a defense comes out and say there's a third party culprit and people are discussing it. That's a different thing.

This is just people on their own accord digging around saying, okay, well, this is inconsistent. Why didn't they look at this? This doesn't make any sense to me. Okay, he did it. You know, that's a completely different thing.

Tony Brueski (4:00)

Does Patrick have a right to say I'm not showing I'm not coming in. I'm not testifying a second time. I'm not. You use the tape, use the tape, but he's not using me.

Bob Motta (4:09)

If they subpoena them, they're going to haul his ass into court. But what Patrick has the ability to do, which would only lead to more. You go ahead and drag me in. You're not going to like what I say.
