Tupac's Trial Turns On WHAT Piece Of Paper?!
What happens when a murder prosecution has no physical evidence at all? A Las Vegas jury is finding out. Duane "Keffe D" Davis is on trial for the September 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur, and the state's case doesn't include a gun, DNA, or testimony from the man they say actually fired. Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson denied involvement and was killed in Compton in 1998. Prosecutors say Davis gave the order and supplied the weapon from the front seat of a white Cadillac, retaliation for a beating captured on MGM Grand surveillance video hours earlier. Grand jury transcripts tie the killing to a war between Death Row Records and Bad Boy Records, and between the Mob Piru Bloods and the South Side Compton Crips. Judge Carli Kierny ruled the state's central evidence admissible. Davis, 63, has pleaded not guilty and faces life without parole. He told ABC News from jail that he's innocent and only discussed the killing to make money. His immunity defense failed. His suppression motion failed. His dismissal bid failed. Three defense teams have withdrawn or been replaced. Tupac's stepbrother Mopreme says the family has spent thirty years waiting for this.

Who Is Losing — Kohberger, Clancy, or Keffe D?!
Three active cases. Three defendants. Three sets of words that cannot be taken back. Bryan Kohberger admitted to killing four University of Idaho students and took four life sentences without parole. His handwritten petition claims he was coerced into a false confession. If the plea is withdrawn, the death penalty — including execution by firing squad — is back on the table. Lindsay Clancy is on trial at Plymouth Superior Court for the deaths of her three children. She was on thirteen psychiatric medications and had been released from a psychiatric hospital three weeks before the incident. The prosecution's own expert acknowledged under cross-examination that psychosis can present with outward calm. Duane "Keffe D" Davis heads to trial in Las Vegas for the murder of Tupac Shakur, nearly thirty years after the shooting. He placed himself at the scene in a police proffer, a documentary, and a published memoir — then claimed after his arrest that he made it all up. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis covers the prosecution's case in each proceeding, the defense strategy, and the specific legal hurdles each defendant faces.

Lindsay Clancy Trial: Her Psychiatrist Testifies — The Forms Said No Risk At All
Dr. Jennifer Tufts, the psychiatrist who treated Lindsay Clancy in the months before the killings, took the stand today in the Duxbury, Massachusetts murder trial — and her testimony reads like a paper trail that missed everything. Clancy is accused of strangling her three children, 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan, with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorney Kevin Reddington is mounting an insanity defense built on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Tufts testified that Clancy filled out suicide risk and mental health screening forms, and on paper, she checked out — not suicidal, not homicidal, not manic. No signs of psychosis. No auditory hallucinations. What the forms didn't capture: Clancy told Tufts she was worried about her own drinking, up to five days a week, on top of a long list of other mental health concerns — and impulsive behavior was never flagged. Tufts prescribed Zoloft, a first-line option considered safe for breastfeeding, and referred Clancy to therapy. Clancy was hesitant about medication. When the dose went from 25 to 50 milligrams, she had side effects — including intrusive thoughts that she might die, though Tufts said there was no active suicidal ideation attached to it. Tufts testified Clancy's depression worsened as January 23 approached. She still didn't consider her a threat. Prosecutors argue Clancy understood what she was doing regardless of her mental state. After the killings, she allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.

What Died With Alex Murdaugh's Lawsuit Against Becky Hill
A five-page ruling on August 5, 2026, changed the shape of the Alex Murdaugh retrial. Judge Richard Gergel dismissed Murdaugh's federal lawsuit against Becky Hill, the former clerk whose contact with his jury got the murder conviction thrown out. The money claim was $600,000. What actually ended that day was the defense's only route to Hill's emails, her texts, her phone records, and her sworn testimony. The unanswered questions are specific. State investigators told the sentencing judge they lacked the evidence to charge Hill with jury tampering. Five justices then reviewed the same conduct and erased a double murder conviction over it. Someone sent an anonymous email during deliberations that got a juror removed, and three years later the sender has never been identified. Civil discovery could have tested all of it, and now it can't, at least not before jury selection in April 2027. This episode explains why a civil lawsuit was the only tool that could reach a private citizen's records, what each piece of discovery would have done inside the criminal case, the prosecution's answer that the evidence against Murdaugh never ran through Hill's inbox, and the without prejudice dismissal that lets his lawyers refile once the retrial bills exist.

Lindsay Clancy's Psychiatrist Testifies: Zoloft, Warning Signs, and a Screening That Missed It
A screening form is only as good as what the patient is willing to write down — and today's testimony in the Lindsay Clancy trial made that painfully clear. Dr. Jennifer Tufts, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother's psychiatrist, described a patient who checked every box for "not a threat" right up until she wasn't. Clancy is charged with strangling her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She's pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing insanity via postpartum psychosis and overmedication. Tufts testified Clancy denied being suicidal, homicidal, or manic on her intake and risk forms, and showed no signs of psychosis or auditory hallucinations. But Clancy also told Tufts she was concerned about her own alcohol use — up to five days a week — alongside a long list of other mental health issues, and impulsive behavior was never assessed. Tufts started her on Zoloft, a breastfeeding-safe first option, and recommended therapy, though Clancy was reluctant to medicate. Raising the dose from 25 to 50 milligrams brought side effects, including intrusive thoughts that she might die — not active suicidal thoughts, Tufts clarified, but ideation nonetheless. Tufts said Clancy didn't fit Major Depressive Disorder, even as her depression visibly worsened in the days before January 23. Still, nothing in front of Tufts read as an active threat. Prosecutors maintain Clancy knew what she was doing. She allegedly tried to take her own life afterward by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband Patrick was running errands at the time and has since moved to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.

Keffe D Published His Confession — Then Waited HOW LONG?!
Duane "Keffe D" Davis is heading to trial in Las Vegas on a murder charge connected to the 1996 shooting death of Tupac Shakur. He is the only person ever charged in the case. He has pleaded not guilty. The prosecution's evidence centers on statements Davis made over more than a decade — to police in a 2008 proffer session, on BET's "Death Row Chronicles" documentary, and in his 2019 book "Compton Street Legend." In each account, Davis placed himself in a white Cadillac alongside his nephew Orlando Anderson, whom he identified as the shooter. Davis's defense argues the 2008 statements were made under a promise of immunity connected to the LAPD's investigation into the Biggie Smalls case. Prosecutors contend Davis voided that protection by voluntarily repeating the same confessions in public forums for the next fifteen years. The case is nearly thirty years old. Anderson was killed in 1998. The weapon has never been recovered. Many potential witnesses have died. The jury pool will include people who were children — or not yet born — when the shooting happened. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis assesses the strengths and weaknesses of a prosecution built almost entirely on the defendant's own words, and what happens when a cold case this famous finally meets a jury.

What Lindsay Clancy's Prosecutors Got From Her Own Friends
Did the prosecution's own witness list start working for Lindsay Clancy? Legal analysts were debating exactly that after Day 8 of her murder trial, and True Crime Today digs into it on this episode. On August 6, the Commonwealth called her friends, her coworkers, and her father-in-law. They testified about insomnia that would not break, about brain fog, about a woman who said she felt like a zombie and texted a friend about dark thoughts on her medications. They also testified she never complained about her husband, never spoke of hurting anyone, and always wanted a house full of kids. The State put all of it in front of the jury on purpose, because those same witnesses saw her keeping appointments, making conversation, and showing no outward sign of a break. The bookends of the day were heavier still. It opened with the medical examiner who performed 8-month-old Callan's autopsy. It closed with the case detective whose review of Lindsay's accounts produced one Facebook post from May 2021, and who agreed under cross-examination that the hunt for abuse evidence found nothing. Tony Brueski walks through what each side actually gained, why the criminal responsibility question got harder on August 6, and what the fight over three defense doctors means for the weeks ahead. Whether you believe Lindsay Clancy belongs in a prison or a hospital, this was the day that sharpened the argument, and this episode gives you everything you need to pick a side.

Lindsay Clancy Trial: Doctor Never Ran a Depression Screening Before Discharge
In the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, a McLean Hospital psychiatrist spent today's session explaining exactly what she didn't do. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is charged with strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and is pursuing an insanity defense through attorney Kevin Reddington, who argues she was suffering severe postpartum psychosis compounded by psychiatric overmedication. Dr. Alia Goodheart testified under defense cross-examination that Clancy's discharge instructions consisted of directing her to the Psychology Today website and telling her to check her insurance for covered providers. Goodheart acknowledged she hadn't reviewed prior records from the nurse practitioners and other clinicians already treating Clancy, and confirmed Clancy had disclosed intrusive thoughts of suicide during her care. No blood tests were run. No screening tools were used — including the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, a standard postpartum assessment that apparently never made it into the room. On redirect, prosecutors pointed to language in the discharge paperwork instructing Clancy to follow up with a personal provider, an attempt to put some of the burden back on the patient leaving the building. Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out of the home running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial, underway in Plymouth Superior Court, is expected to last several weeks.

Lindsay Clancy Trial: A Gym Friend, a Daycare Director, and a Psychiatrist Testify
The Commonwealth kept building its picture of Lindsay Clancy this week, and the picture is getting more complicated, not less. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation over the January 24, 2023 deaths of her children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months — allegedly strangled with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home. She's pleaded not guilty. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington is arguing severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication left her not criminally responsible. Kimberlee Hardy, former Child Service Director at the Kingsbury Club, told jurors Clancy was shy and reticent around other parents and staff, and wouldn't bring Callan in because she was nervous about him catching a cold — though on cross, Hardy said Clancy always seemed happy with her children. Sarah Carney, a family friend closer to Patrick Clancy than to Lindsay, testified Lindsay had been exercising frequently and looked noticeably thinner by the fall and winter of 2022, but described nothing more alarming than a quieter version of the woman she knew. The heavier testimony came from Dr. Alia Goodheart of McLean Hospital, who explained how patients get admitted — through the ER, via an involuntary Section 12 or voluntary Section 10. Clancy checked in voluntarily in January, citing insomnia and medication side effects. Goodheart's records documented suicidal ideation without a plan, no signs of psychosis, and a minimal-risk classification. Clancy reported feeling emotionally numb and pushed back on a possible bipolar diagnosis. Goodheart weighed postpartum depression, diagnosed insomnia linked to a mental health condition, and sent her home — judged no threat to herself or others. Three witnesses, three separate windows, and one question the jury still has to answer.

Did Bryan Kohberger Just Trade Life For The Firing Squad?!
In July 2025, Bryan Kohberger stood in an Ada County courtroom and admitted to killing four University of Idaho students. The plea deal gave him four consecutive life sentences without parole and removed the death penalty. He signed a nine-page questionnaire. He told the judge he was guilty. Thirteen months later, he wants it all back. His handwritten petition for post-conviction relief claims ineffective assistance of counsel, coercion, and withheld evidence. He alleges his lawyers told his family a fabricated story about death row to pressure the deal. He says he was advised to lie. The evidence he cites: hair found near Ethan Chapin's hand that wasn't Kohberger's. But his own defense expert tested that hair and concluded it was consistent with Chapin's own hair. The characterization he uses — "clumps of hair" — came from a third-party book, not from any official record. Idaho law sets the post-sentencing bar at manifest injustice. Kohberger waived his right to appeal. He endorsed the plea under oath. The court has appointed attorney Gregory Rauch to take the petition forward. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis weighs the legal standard, the obstacles, and whether Kohberger just traded a guaranteed life sentence for a shot at the firing squad.

Lindsay Clancy's Prosecution May Have Proved Her Innocent
The murder trial of Lindsay Clancy is underway at Plymouth Superior Court, and the prosecution's first week of testimony has revealed something the jury won't easily set aside: Lindsay Clancy was on thirteen psychiatric medications at the time of her children's deaths. The state's toxicologist confirmed that each drug was within its prescribed therapeutic range. But thirteen medications running through one person's system simultaneously is not the same as one medication at a normal dose — and no prosecution witness has addressed that distinction. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington made an unusual tactical concession early in the trial. He told the judge his client does not contest the physical evidence. She killed her children. The exercise bands are the weapons. The DNA matches. That move eliminated dozens of prosecution witnesses and shifted the jury's attention to the only question that matters: criminal responsibility. The prosecution's own psychiatrist, under cross-examination, acknowledged that psychosis can present with outward calm and apparent coherence. That admission — from the state's expert — goes directly to the heart of the defense's argument. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis assesses the prosecution's first-week strategy and whether the state has built a case for premeditation — or accidentally built the case for the defense.

Why Nick Reiner Kept Walking Out On What Lindsay Clancy Needed
Everybody comparing the Lindsay Clancy trial to the Nick Reiner case is comparing two people who spent years moving in opposite directions. Reiner's history, by his own public account, is one of leaving. Rehab from around age fifteen. Roughly seventeen stays by twenty-two per his 2015 People interview, some eighteen per The Hollywood Reporter. He told the LA Times he'd refuse to go or would walk out and live on the street. Clancy's history is one of asking. A postpartum program in late December of 2022 that, according to her lawsuit, noted her symptoms might be medication-driven, told her to taper the antipsychotic, and sent her home after a single day. A psychiatric hospital on New Year's Eve. A last appointment with her psychiatrist that ran seventeen minutes. And there's a piece of the Reiner story almost nobody has picked up. Records reported by Fox affiliates show a yearlong conservatorship that expired in 2021. Nobody revoked it and nobody litigated it. When it lapsed, a man whose records reportedly include a schizophrenia diagnosis went back to two people in their seventies. Tony Brueski lays out why these are two entirely different failures, why fixing one does nothing for the other, and why the phrase everybody uses for both is the reason neither gets addressed. Four years after that order lapsed, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner were dead in their Brentwood home and their son was in custody by nine fifteen that night. On the other coast, Lindsay Clancy's last appointment with her psychiatrist ran seventeen minutes, on January 23, 2023, according to her lawsuit. The following day is when her lawyers say she heard a voice. Two failures, no overlap, and no single reform that touches both.

Guthrie's Kidnapper AND Kohberger Left Out the SAME Thing
Nancy Guthrie's kidnapper wrote an invoice and then a sympathy card. Bryan Kohberger wrote a manifesto about justice that never names the four people he killed. Both put themselves on paper. Both revealed more than they intended. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott reads both with Tony Brueski — what the language choices, the structure, and the absences tell you about two very different minds trying to control the same thing: how the world sees them.

Did Nolan Wells' Friends Skip His Funeral On Purpose?
The boys who went to Horn Island with Nolan Wells mostly did not come to his funeral, and the reason has been reported almost nowhere. The Nolan Wells case turned into something bigger than a death investigation somewhere in the first week, and this episode is about what that something has cost. Wells, eighteen, went to Horn Island off the Mississippi coast on the Fourth of July with friends from high school. His body was found on the shoreline two days later. Within hours of the discovery, the Jackson County sheriff said no foul play had been identified. That was before any autopsy or toxicology existed. It was also the same day the coroner asked the state to determine whether there was trauma at all. Those two positions do not agree, and only one of them traveled. What rushed into that gap wasn't pressure on the sheriff's office. It was three names lifted off boat photographs. Since then: three federal threat prosecutions, none of them involving a suspect. A judge who shut down her social media after threats reached her younger children. A government building searched by bomb dogs. Roughly nine hundred thousand dollars raised by two grieving groups of people to fight each other in court. And hate mail delivered to Nolan Wells' mother in the days before she buried him. We go through what's actually on the record: the Marine Resources documents, the distress call, the independent autopsy, the sealed state report. Then we go through the reason Mississippi's institutions get no benefit of the doubt. That reason is real and it has names attached to it. Then we get to the one decision made by a father in this story that nobody screaming about it seems to have heard about.

Lindsay Clancy Trial: A "Normal Day" Testimony Collides With a Damning Old Facebook Post
Two witnesses, two completely different pictures of Lindsay Clancy — that's what jurors got in Plymouth Superior Court this week in the trial of the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children, 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan, with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy is facing three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, with defense attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was gripped by severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication when it happened. Kyle Carney, a friend of Patrick Clancy's, opened the day describing January 24 as ordinary — a good day, nothing that hinted at what was coming. Then Massachusetts State Police Trooper Andrew Chiachio took over, and the testimony got a lot more procedural and a lot more pointed. He walked the jury through pulling surveillance video from a CVS and Three V Restaurant near the scene, then described a search warrant executed six months after the killings to collect possible DNA evidence from outside the house. A second warrant went after Facebook, where investigators found a May 2021 post from a parenting support group in which Clancy wrote that every day with Dawson felt like a fight. Reddington, on cross, got Chiachio to concede that despite the digging, investigators never found any evidence Clancy had actually abused her son. Jurors were dismissed once both witnesses finished. Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy knew exactly what she was doing that day, mental-health defense or not. She allegedly attempted suicide afterward by jumping from a second-story window and remains paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick, was running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues for several more weeks.

Bryan Kohberger's Statement Said Everything Except WHAT
He wrote about justice. He wrote about truth. He wrote about closure, innocence, and love. He mentioned the public, the state, his family, and his supporters. He called the case against him a work of fiction and invited the death penalty back. Kaylee Goncalves. Madison Mogen. Xana Kernodle. Ethan Chapin. Their names do not appear. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott breaks down the full statement with Tony Brueski — what the language reveals about Kohberger's psychology and what the absence says louder than anything he wrote.

Lindsay Clancy Trial: Two Witnesses, One Question — Did Anyone See This Coming?
The Lindsay Clancy murder trial heard from two people who knew her well today — her longtime friend and her father-in-law — and neither account made the case any easier to sit with. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, stands accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She's pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. Her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is arguing insanity, pointing to severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Amy Bevins, a licensed behavior analyst for autistic children and a friend of Clancy's for 29 years, said Dawson's delivery had been hard on her — but that in the days right before the killings, Lindsay seemed hopeful. Under cross-examination, Bevins acknowledged the two had exchanged texts multiple times about how difficult the prescribed medications were to manage, and that afterward, on the recommendation of Clancy's providers, they stopped talking about the kids entirely. Christopher W. Clancy, Patrick's father, followed with a portrait of a daughter-in-law who doted on Callan but showed clear frustration with Dawson. He described sleepless nights and at least one ER visit, but told jurors that overall, Lindsay seemed to be in good spirits. It's the kind of testimony that doesn't hand either side a clean win — a woman who looked fine to the people closest to her, right up until she wasn't. Prosecutors maintain Clancy understood her actions. She allegedly attempted suicide afterward by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to run several weeks.

Did The Prosecution's Witness Just Help Lindsay Clancy?
The prosecution called Elaine Rossi to prove Lindsay Clancy could control what she revealed and to whom. She'd told the nanny about her postpartum struggles but never mentioned urges to harm herself. Selective. Compartmentalized. That was the play. But Rossi also told the jury she was a wonderful mom who loved her kids, described the children by name and personality, and said "I loved Lindsay" from the witness stand. The prosecution's witness gave the defense one of the most powerful moments of the first seven days.Earlier in the morning, forensic testimony moved fast through Plymouth Superior Court. DNA evidence matched each child to a specific exercise band. A toxicologist confirmed that Seroquel levels were elevated but far below toxic. A physician assistant called Lindsay's neck injuries superficial — but confirmed under cross that she was critically ill. And the prosecution's lead toxicologist admitted the blood levels alone don't tell the entire story.The stipulation from the day before is compressing the trial. Chain-of-custody witnesses eliminated. The defense phase — postpartum psychosis experts, psychiatric evaluations, and medical records from providers now facing their own malpractice lawsuits — is approaching faster than anyone expected.

Lindsay Clancy Trial: Teachers, Nurse, Therapist Testify — "A Zombie" Detail Emerges
Four witnesses testified today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication at the time of the killings. Susan Bertolo, a former teacher at Learning Sprouts, testified that Cora needed the bathroom more often than usual and, at one point, was upset that her mother was in the hospital. Fellow Learning Sprouts teacher Stephanie Williams told the court she saw no signs of depression in her interactions with Clancy. Then came the more complicated testimony. Mass General labor and delivery nurse Andrea Hennigan — who has no formal PPD training but has screened patients for it — said she socialized with Clancy and that Clancy told her she was worried about returning to work because of insomnia. On cross, Hennigan acknowledged Clancy had numerous doctor's appointments and had been placed on multiple medications with side effects, while still describing her as a loving, attentive mother. Marriage and family therapist Bethany DeCollibus, a friend of Clancy's, testified Clancy seemed more tired after Callan was born and never appeared suicidal — but told her she felt like "a zombie." Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out of the home running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial, underway in Plymouth Superior Court, is expected to last several weeks.
