Crime Talk with Scott Reisch

Show Notes

The Lindsay Clancy case takes another dramatic turn after the mistrial. Her attorney Kevin Reddington is now openly discussing a possible resolution with prosecutors — while also making an extraordinary appeal to President Trump for a pardon that, legally, cannot apply to Massachusetts state charges. We break down what happens next, the reported 11–1 jury split, the possibility of a second trial, Patrick Clancy's warning over online conspiracy theories, and the growing fallout surrounding the case. Plus: an Illinois mother accused of killing her 2-year-old son after closely following the Clancy trial, Bryan Kohberger's latest attempt to undo his guilty plea, newly revealed Karmelo Anthony evidence, Legal History, Legal Quote, and our Dumb Criminal of the Day. Join Scott Reisch for today's Crime Talk.

Nick Reiner is accused of murdering his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner. Now he is asking the court for access to trust money he says was already supposed to be distributed to him years ago. The legal fight is a fascinating one. Can someone accused of killing the people who created the trust still demand that money for his defense? Reiner's attorneys say the money was already his and that he is still presumed innocent. Trustees and opposing parties point to the law designed to prevent killers from profiting from their victims. Today, we break down the trust dispute, the defense argument, the prosecution angle, and why this financial fight could shape the entire murder case going forward. #CrimeTalk #NickReiner #TrueCrime #RobReiner
