The Perfect Collape: After the Verdict — A Final Conversation with Psychiatrist Dr. K

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.Episode 17: The Perfect Collapse: The VerdictThe jury couldn't agree. Not on insanity, not on manslaughter, and not on murder in the first or second degree. After seven days and thirty-eight hours of deliberation, marked by accusations of a lying juror and a judge who refused to remove him, and an emergency appeal to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, Lindsay Clancy's trial ended in a mistrial, deadlocked 11 to 1.This episode breaks down what the Commonwealth can do next and what happens to Lindsay while that decision gets made. We also cover the arrest of a Clancy supporter who breached a restricted courthouse parking lot to photograph jurors. Then, we step back seventy years to the case of Constance Fisher, a Maine woman whose 1954 and 1966 filicides demonstrate what a break from reality looks like, with none of the media machinery that has surrounded Lindsay Clancy's trial.Plus, defense attorney Kevin Reddington's post-verdict comments about the one juror who wouldn't budge, and a preview of what's coming in next week's season finale with Dr. K.*********************Everyone has an opinion.

This episode widens our argument to a condition that, like narcissism, sits quietly for years until something breaks the coping mechanisms holding it in place.
