Clancy Trial: Prosecution Expert Casts Doubt on Hallucination Claim

Days before closing arguments in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial, a prosecution forensic psychologist testified that he did not believe she experienced acute psychosis or a hallucinated command, suggesting she killed her children to spare them suffering and herself; the defense cites postpartum psychosis and bipolar disorder, with conflicting expert opinions on her mental state, leaving the outcome to whether she understood the wrongfulness of her actions.

Keffe D’s statements become linchpin in Tupac murder trial

Prosecutors in the Tupac Shakur murder trial lean on Duane 'Keffe D' Davis's own accounts—including a 2008 police interview, a BET documentary, and his memoir—for key testimony about the 1996 Las Vegas drive-by. Davis is accused of providing the murder weapon and helping hunt Shakur, while the defense argues his stories are exaggerated or fabricated. With many potential witnesses dead or uncooperative, the case hinges on Davis's words and related ghostwriter material as the trial, expected to last four to five weeks, unfolds.

Keffe D Case Fractures Street Code as Tupac Killing Trial Moves Forward

Week 1 of Duane “Keffe D” Davis’s Las Vegas murder trial centers on credibility and memory: prosecutors argue his long history of public and private boasts about being involved in Tupac Shakur’s 1996 killing undermine his story, while the defense portrays those statements as self-serving fiction. The proceedings unpack 1990s gang culture, evolving loyalties, and aging witnesses, using old surveillance tapes and proffers to test how much truth can be extracted from decades-old events.

Texas murder conviction under review as judge recusal prompts new-trial bid

Prosecutors say evidence about Karmelo Anthony’s history with knives and violence was withheld from the jury in his murder trial, and Retired Judge Michael Chitty must decide by Monday on a bid for a new trial after Judge John Roach was removed for impartiality concerns. A grant would overturn the conviction and allow a new trial or plea; denial would push the case toward direct appeal. Anthony, 19, was convicted in June of stabbing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a Frisco track meet and sentenced to 35 years in prison, with observers noting that new-trial motions are difficult to win and hinge on whether trial fairness issues were properly addressed.

Prosecutor urges no-parole life sentence for Erin Patterson in mushroom-poisoning case

Australian prosecutors told an appeals court that Erin Patterson, convicted in a mushroom-poisoning case, should never be released and seek a life sentence with no parole; Patterson argues the poisoning was an accident, while prosecutors reference comparators and the Victorian requirement to set a nonparole period for murder unless the offense or offender’s history makes it inappropriate.

Testimony Highlights Lindsay Clancy's Struggles Before Tragedy

In the fourth week of Lindsay Clancy's murder trial, her former mother-in-law testified that Clancy was begging for help and increasingly anxious, paranoid, and suicidal in late 2022. The defense cites postpartum psychosis (and bipolar disorder) as key to her state of mind, while a psychologist noted psychotic symptoms can be transient; the verdict could hinge on criminal responsibility, with potential life imprisonment if convicted or commitment to a mental health facility if not responsible.
