This is Hidden Killers Live with Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke.

Here we go, we're going to talk about Lindsay Clancy again. I know, surprise, surprise. The prosecution rested in the Lindsay Clancy trial at Plymouth Superior Court after 14 days of testimony. More than 70 witnesses, both sides agree.
I think that's important to understand here this case. It's not up for debate. Nobody is debating that she killed Cora Dawson and Callan. She's admitted it time and time again. You don't get that quite often in murder cases where the person on trial says, yeah, I did it. It was me right here. And then 80% of the audience goes, no, it wasn't.

**Tony Brueski** (0:50)
Nah, nah, can't be.

**Tony Brueski** (0:53)
But that is somehow what's happening here. The fight is whether she was criminally responsible when she did it. That's what we're talking about. Your thoughts in the comment section and sub stack in YouTube. And we will get to the conspiracy bullshit too. Robin Dreeke is with us as always, a retired FBI special agent, chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. There's a lot to get into. Again, the prosecution's first witness. Let's just kind of do a little review here of how we got to where we're at and that the prosecution is wrapped up. Take a little look-see back on the case that they presented and how well they did or didn't. Patrick Clancy was the first witness we saw 14 days ago. He described Lindsay having one of her best days, hours before the killing. Snowman with the kids, photos that she texted him. Then he described months of intrusive thoughts, 13 medications and a wife he called confusing to live with.
Why put their most sympathetic witness first, I guess is the question.
Why did Patrick go on first and what do you think it did for this case other than cause a lot of conspiracy theories to begin? But more so what do you think it did for Lindsay Clancy or not do for Lindsay Clancy now that that first half of the trial is over?

**Robin Dreeke** (2:19)
So let's look at intent.
That's what we do with every human being in any situation is try to understand the intent of the person taking an action and see what their end state is that they're seeking and see what actions they took to support it because that's exactly what they're doing. Because the prosecution is going to act on what they think is their best interest in order to get a conviction on Lindsay and their claim was that she was not in a psychotic break, that this was premeditated, prethought out, planned out because she wanted to get out of being a mom, she's overwhelmed with being a mom and she wanted to kill her kids and fake her own death. That is, or fake her own S attempt. So by putting Patrick on first, I can assume based on they think that's a good action is that he will because he had the closest proximity to her, he knew her best and so he could more accurately claim than anyone else what her state of mind was for months, weeks, days, years and a timeline of baselining her leading up to the death of her children, his children. And so by doing him first, putting him on first, it establishes that baseline of everything was fine until this. And so this is when she started breaking and cracking. And from the prosecution's narrative, it's going to be because she's overwhelmed with being a mother, not because of mental health or a psychotic break. It was all pre-planned. And then you get into the conspiracy theories. I won't even go there until you want to.

**Tony Brueski** (3:41)
Yeah. That's what it is.

**Robin Dreeke** (3:42)
It's about establishing that baseline for the jury of she was completely normal, acting normal. And if we want to later on get into comparison with Andrea Yates, which everyone's doing, it's fitting exactly the same anyway.

**Tony Brueski** (3:58)
So I think it's important for people to remember there is the courtroom. There is the evidence that's being presented within that courtroom. That jury is told not to read social media, not to be watching us, not to be watching TV about any of the coverage of the case. So they in theory should not be absorbing the TikTok verse out there of this conspiracy theory of Patrick Clancy, because that's not part of either case, the prosecution or the defense. That's solely in the minds of TikTok users.
Let me ask you this, Patrick, they saw him just as everyone else in the planet did.
