Show Notes
Two major cases. Two courtrooms. More than four hours of live coverage — and an exclusive interview with Lindsay Clancy defense attorney Kevin Reddington. Hot Mics went live for one of our biggest true-crime days yet, following closing arguments in the Caleb Flynn murder trial while simultaneously covering a major hearing in the Lindsay Clancy case in Massachusetts. In Ohio, prosecutors and the defense made their final arguments to the jury in the Caleb Flynn trial. Prosecutors argued that the physical evidence, digital evidence, Flynn’s missing 9mm handgun and his messages surrounding his relationship with Alleigha Botner all point to Flynn. The defense attacked the investigation, emphasizing the missing murder weapon, the lack of gunshot-residue evidence and what it argued were investigative failures that create reasonable doubt. Flynn has pleaded not guilty. At the same time, the Lindsay Clancy case returned to court in Massachusetts for a consequential hearing involving several defense motions and the continuing fight over the holdout juror. Kevin Reddington delivered a forceful argument challenging the evidence and investigation in the case and renewing the defense’s position that the Commonwealth failed to meet its burden. And then we got Kevin Reddington himself. Immediately following the hearing, Lindsay Clancy’s defense attorney joined Billy Bush for an extended exclusive interview about what happened inside the courtroom, the holdout-juror controversy, the defense’s double-jeopardy argument and whether Lindsay Clancy will ever face a second trial. Reddington also speaks candidly about Lindsay’s condition, his relationship with District Attorney Tim Cruz, what he believes went wrong with the original investigation and his hope that the case ultimately leads to greater awareness of postpartum psychosis, postpartum depression and maternal mental-health care. Four and a half hours. Two courtrooms. Closing arguments. A major hearing. And Kevin Reddington live with Billy Bush. This was TRUE CRIME SUPER TUESDAY. Subscribe to Hot Mics with Billy Bush as we continue following the Caleb Flynn trial, the Lindsay Clancy case and the biggest trials and true-crime stories in the country.
