Lindsay Clancy, lots to go through here. Conspiracy and confusion.
That's what I want to address. Literally, I'm going through the comments of you guys over the last several weeks, directly from our YouTube. I've copied many of them into my teleprompter and document here that we're going to work through. And we're going to go through various theories, various observations, misunderstandings, confusion, because there's a lot of it here in this case, where at the end of the day, I don't care what you land on, whether you think and believe that Lindsay Clancy was someone who did this and was completely understanding of what she was doing, or if you think she was psychotic. What I do care about is that you're getting there based on fact and based on truth, and not based on conspiracy or just flat out confusion, because there's so much out there with it. Lindsay Clancy admits she killed her three children. That's one fact both sides of this trial agree on. And somehow it's the fact getting buried under everything else. Patrick did it. The knife was set down by a left-handed man. She fled the country. He fled the country. I mean, these things are not based on reality.
There's a rope on the bedroom door. She never heard a voice until her lawyer needed one. Again, those things I just stated, these are things that are out there in the ether being presented as fact. Some have nuggets of fact attached to them. Some are not at all. Every one of those claims is circulating right now, and every one of them has an answer on the trial record. This is, like I said, Lindsay Clancy conspiracy and confusion. We're pulling some of the comments straight from this channel, the ones with the most traction and the most confidence, and we're checking each claim against what was actually said under oath in Plymouth Superior Court. What you decide about Lindsay Clancy is yours. Guilt, insane, failed by doctors, all three reasonable people are landing in very different places. Robin Drake, retired FBI Special Agent, Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program is with me as always to help us do just this.
I'm just going to jump into one here. I'm going to read it, verbatim, and then we can kind of parse through some of the claims being made.
**Robin Dre** (2:39)
Tony, before you do, real quick, I want to first, before we start diving in the first one, let's give some, again, we've said this throughout this case, I want to give everyone a methodology to think about these things. We have an amazing audience and I've really come to respect the critical thinking in our audience. So I want to remind everyone, when you see or get information, what my process is and what a critical thinking process, especially in this world of true crime, that is one, if you come up with an idea or theory, the number one thing I think you should start trying to do is find facts and data to disprove it.
Secondly, if you hear a competing factor theory that you don't agree with, find facts and data that would prove it. This keeps your brain constantly in motion, trying to find real facts and data free of confirmation bias. And then, if you keep landing on your theory and it's going very well, and you have facts and data and you can't disprove it, and you're seeing other data, look for opportunities to correct yourself and be wrong along the path. Like I told Jennifer yesterday on the show, I said my number one goal, amongst many goals, is I get excited when I'm proving myself wrong and I evolve my opinion of things, because that proves to me I'm critical thinking. So I just want everyone to remain critical thinking. If you hear something, don't dismiss it, don't celebrate it, let's investigate it. So with that, Tony, I'm sorry, let's go.

No, no, I agree.
That's a great way of looking at it. Challenge your beliefs. Try and look at it from the angle of you possibly being wrong, because believe it or not, we can be wrong, and it's okay.
**Robin Dre** (4:18)
And then the last question, ask yourself, what would it take for me to change my mind? And then before you even go any further, write it down. It's like, I have on this case, I have a list of things it would take for me to change my mind. It's very articulate. That way, if you start seeing them, if you don't have them written down, you can dismiss them, well, I still think this. No, no, no, you actually set a criteria for yourself. Let's analyze that criteria. So with that.
