Hayden Panettiere: New Details | Lindsay Clancy Defense Takes Control

New details emerge in the death of Hayden Panettiere, including who was with her during her final hours. Plus, dramatic testimony in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, a new legal move in the battle surrounding Amy Griffin’s The Tell, and the political stories driving the conversation. Billy begins with the latest developments surrounding Hayden Panettiere. Brian Hickerson and his brother were reportedly present when emergency services were called, while new reporting details medications found at the scene as investigators continue working to determine what happened. Billy also revisits Hayden’s complicated and turbulent relationship with Hickerson, including Hayden’s own account of domestic violence in her memoir and audiobook, Hickerson’s subsequent public acknowledgment of his actions, and the statement from Hayden’s former partner Wladimir Klitschko, father of their daughter Kaya. Then, the Lindsay Clancy trial enters a critical new phase as the defense presents testimony about Clancy’s mental health, psychiatric treatment and medications. Forensic psychologist Dr. Paul Zeizel testified that testing showed no evidence Clancy was malingering and described her report that she heard a male voice ordering her to kill her children and then herself. Billy examines whether Kevin Reddington and the defense are taking control of the case — and what it could mean for the question at the heart of the trial: Was Lindsay Clancy criminally responsible for her actions? Plus, an update on Amy Griffin and The Tell. Attorneys for Jolene Altum have filed a motion seeking to strike Griffin’s Nevada defamation lawsuit, raising new arguments involving Griffin’s recovered memories, corroborating witnesses and the ongoing California litigation. And finally, Billy heads into The Circus for a rapid-fire look at the political stories, personalities and viral moments dominating the day. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
