The Perfect Collapse: Twelve Strangers

Description

Recorded on the first day of trial, this episode functions as a bridge, since today was pre-trial housekeeping and witness-list disputes. The episode opens with the ull biography of both Lindsay and Patrick Clancy: Lindsay's Wallingford, Connecticut upbringing, Lyman Hall High School, Quinnipiac University, and nine years as an Mass General labor and delivery nurse. Patrick Clancy's Scituate family, Microsoft career, their 2013 meeting and 2016 marriage. From there, the episode shifts into explaining jury selection itself, why it matters so much in an insanity case specifically, and how public misconceptions about the insanity defense complicate the process. It draws an extended comparison to Aaron Hernandez's 2015 trial, using his massive jury pool and the resulting change to Massachusetts voir dire law as context for what's happening in Plymouth County Superior Court right now.A new section covers Reddington's denied change-of-venue motion, drawing a direct parallel to Hernandez's own failed attempt on nearly identical grounds before leveling with listeners that today was procedural and pointing ahead to opening statements in mid-to-late August.**********************************Everyone has an opinion.
