This Feels Criminal: A True Crime Podcast (Formerly Killer Queens)

In Part 2 of our coverage of the Lindsay Clancy trial, we hear from Lindsay's family, the hospital chaplain who spent hundreds of hours with her after the deaths of her children, and Dr. Phillip Resnick—a nationally recognized forensic psychiatrist and expert on filicide who evaluated Lindsay and concluded she was not criminally responsible.
Then the Commonwealth calls three psychiatric experts of its own in rebuttal.
They ultimately agree with prosecutors on the question that matters most: Lindsay was criminally responsible. But getting there produces some of the most surprising testimony of the entire five-week trial—and at times, the Commonwealth's own experts seem to complicate the case prosecutors spent weeks building.
One exchange in particular forces a Commonwealth expert to confront the prosecution's own opening theory head-on. His answer is one of the biggest moments of the trial.
Finally, both sides make their closing arguments and give the jury two dramatically different explanations for the same evidence.
Lindsay Clancy killed her children. That has never been disputed.
After five weeks of testimony, the question the jury must finally answer is the one this entire trial has been building toward:
Was she criminally responsible when she did it?

For weeks, the Commonwealth built its case against Lindsay Clancy. But as witness after witness took the stand, some of the testimony began to complicate the story prosecutors had laid out for the jury.
In Part 1 of our coverage of the Lindsay Clancy trial, Tyrella walks Nikita—who hasn't been following the trial day-to-day—through the Commonwealth's case from opening statements through the end of its case-in-chief.
Lindsay does not dispute that she killed her three children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan. The question at the center of this trial is whether she was legally criminally responsible when she did it.
We break down Patrick Clancy's testimony, Lindsay's mental-health treatment and medication history, the prosecution's timeline and theory of the crime, and what the Commonwealth's own witnesses actually told the jury.
Because by the time the prosecution rested, the question wasn't simply what evidence they had presented.
It was how well their theory held up against it.

For years, Duane "Keffe D" Davis publicly told versions of the story of Tupac Shakur's murder—in interviews, a documentary, and even his own memoir.
Now those statements are at the center of the prosecution's case against him.
But Keffe D's defense has a pretty unusual response: you can't believe him because he's "full of crap."
In Part 2, we break down the opening statements in Keffe D's murder trial and the dramatically different stories being presented to the jury. Prosecutors say Keffe D orchestrated Tupac's killing as retaliation for the beating of his nephew, Orlando Anderson. The defense argues that Keffe D lied and exaggerated for years—and that corrupt law enforcement, missing evidence, conflicting witness accounts, and a deeply flawed investigation leave plenty of room for reasonable doubt.
We also get into the controversial proffer agreement behind Keffe D's original statements, his memoir, the alleged murder weapon, the defense's police-corruption theory, and the major witnesses who could take the stand as the trial unfolds.
After nearly 30 years, someone is finally on trial for Tupac Shakur's murder. But can prosecutors prove their case when their most important witness against Keffe D may be…Keffe D himself?

Nearly 30 years after Tupac Shakur was shot and killed on the Las Vegas Strip, a man is finally on trial for his murder.
On September 7, 1996, Tupac and Death Row Records founder Suge Knight were leaving the Mike Tyson fight in Las Vegas when a white Cadillac pulled alongside their BMW and someone opened fire. Tupac was hit four times. Six days later, he died at just 25 years old.
For decades, theories about his murder have implicated rival gangs, the East Coast–West Coast rap feud, Suge Knight, Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson, and more. But the case remained unsolved—until investigators turned their attention to a man who had spent years publicly talking about what happened that night: Duane "Keffe D" Davis.
In Part 1, we break down the events leading up to Tupac's murder, the MGM Grand fight that may have set everything in motion, the original investigation, the suspects, Keffe D's extraordinary history of interviews and admissions, and how his own words eventually helped put him on trial almost three decades later.
Because after nearly 30 years of theories about who killed Tupac, a jury is finally going to hear the case.

In the weeks before Lauren McCluskey was murdered, the danger wasn't invisible.
The stalking. The lies. The escalating threats. The extortion. The repeated contact after the relationship ended. Lauren reported what was happening, asked for help, and kept trying to protect herself.
So if the signs were already there, why wasn't anyone able to recognize what they meant?
In Part 2, we step back from Lauren's case to ask the bigger question we've been working toward: Can we actually tell which abusive relationships are most likely to turn deadly?
We look at what researchers know about intimate partner homicide, the warning signs that matter most, why some seemingly terrifying behaviors aren't as predictive as we might assume, and what happens when known risk factors are scattered across different people and systems instead of being seen together.
Because the problem may not be that there are no warning signs.
It may be that recognizing them is only the beginning.
