Why the judge in the Lindsay Clancy trial scolded prosecutors for testimony on her faith

The defense in the Lindsay Clancy trial called for a mistrial after a witness brought up Lindsay Clancy's Catholic faith. The judge did not declare a mistrial, but he reprimanded prosecutors and told the jury to ignore that testimony. Trial lawyer Mark Eiglarsh explains more.

Ex-FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer raised eyebrows on social media after sharing a photo from Lindsay Clancy's trial. The image appears to show baby books on the defense table during Lindsay's murder trial. Coffindaffer questioned Lindsay's intent, saying, "What the hell is on the defense table? Are those baby books? You have to be kidding me?

Does everyone see how calculating she is?" The photo also revealed a black box with "LIVE WITH PASSION" written on it. Netizens reacted to the photo, with one user jokingly noting, "Her kids did live with passion. What an unfortunate set of affirmations on the box." Another user expressed shock at the manipulation, stating, "Oh my god.

I have noticed that strange black and white box but never noticed that those folders on top are baby albums! I just assumed they were legal paperwork folders! How utterly manipulative she is!" Despite the outpouring of support for Lindsay on social media, others remain divided, with some arguing they cannot support a woman who killed her children.

Lindsay Clancy faces three murder charges for the deaths of her children Cora, 5; Dawson, 3; and Callan, 8 months. She pleaded not guilty, arguing that she was not criminally responsible due to a psychotic episode stemming from postpartum mental illness. If convicted, she could face life in prison without parole, while a not guilty by reason of insanity verdict would commit her to a state mental health facility.
