As jury selection begins in Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial, Court TV anchor Cody Thomas joins criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor Joshua Ritter to examine the central question surrounding her expected insanity defense. Josh and Cody discuss what Clancy’s alleged planning may mean under Massachusetts law, and whether a not-guilty-by-reason-of-insanity verdict would constitute justice, and much more. Josh also previews the preliminary hearing for D4vd, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke, in the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. 0:00 Intro 0:46 Welcome 4:22 Court TV’s Cody Thomas joins 5:46 Why the Lindsay Clancy case is so divisive 8:48 Jury selection begins 12:15 Can planning coexist with legal insanity? 19:21 Does the suicide attempt strengthen her defense? 30:10 Could Patrick Clancy’s support influence jurors? 39:45 Would an NGI verdict be justice? 44:26 Cody’s final thoughts 45:37 Why the jury’s view of the window matters 47:15 Massachusetts insanity law and what NGI means 51:30 d4vd preliminary hearing preview 60:58 Announcements and upcoming coverage 1:10:35 Outro Where to find Cody Thomas: https://www.instagram.com/codythomas_...   / cody.thomas.507   Follow Josh: https://x.com/JoshuaRitterESQ   / joshuaritteresq   https://www.joshuaritter.com/ https://www.thecourtroomconfidential....
