Closing arguments are expected this week in the trial of Lindsay Clancy, the former labor and delivery nurse who was charged with murdering her three kids—5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 8-month-old Callan—on the evening of Jan. 24, 2023. Both sides have acknowledged Lindsay was the one who strangled her three kids in the basement of her Duxbury, Massachusetts, home, but the fight in the courtroom is instead on her mental state while doing it. In what has been described as the "battle of the experts," medical professionals have given conflicting testimony about Clancy’s mental state. A psychiatrist for the prosecution said that he believed Clancy was not in a psychosis, but instead exhibiting the behaviors of someone suffering from a “major depressive episode.” A psychiatrist for the defense said he thought she was in a postpartum psychosis, and in his opinion, was “unable to conform her conduct to the requirements of the law on the day that she took the lives of her children.” Former prosecutor Margaret McLean joins “Forbes True Crime” to discuss the standout moments from the trial.

Law enforcement officials announced they busted a cocaine trafficking ring in State College that allegedly involved former Penn State students and two of the university’s fraternities. Fourteen people were charged—13 were current and former Penn State students, while the other is the father of one of the alleged “main dealers." Law enforcement officials claimed the suppliers would travel to Philadelphia and New York City for cocaine and bring it back to Happy Valley. Sometimes as part of an initiation ritual, pledges would allegedly cut and bag the cocaine in the fraternity houses before it was sold to other students. Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday said that “there was nothing junior or childlike about this type of conduct. This was an upper-level trafficking organization for this region.” Max Miner, CEO and Founder of Executive Treatment Solutions, joined “Forbes True Crime” to discuss.

The trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mom charged with the murders of her three young children, is sparking a nationwide conversation about postpartum mental health care. The fight in the courtroom isn’t over who strangled 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 8-month-old Callan on the evening of Jan. 24, 2023–instead, it’s about Lindsay Clancy’s mental state while doing it. The Commonwealth is arguing that Clancy was not in a psychosis, but instead, someone “who acted intentionally, rationally, and swiftly to accomplish a very specific goal—to kill.” Clancy’s team maintains that she didn’t get the medication or postpartum treatment that she needed, and was suffering from postpartum psychosis when killing her kids. Dr. Andrea Raby, DO, board-certified psychiatrist and mental health advisor for Prickly Pear Health, joins “Forbes True Crime” to discuss postpartum psychosis.

For nearly 30 years, the world was left without answers to one of the music industry’s biggest tragedies—the killing of Tupac Shakur. Following a Mike Tyson fight in Las Vegas on Sept. 7, 1996, Suge Knight, head of Death Row Records, was driving with Shakur. While Knight’s BMW was stopped at a red light, a Cadillac pulled up beside them and sprayed the car with bullets before speeding off. The hip-hop legend was hit multiple times and died six days later. No one was ever charged with a crime in connection to Shakur's murder until 2023, when Duane "Keffe D" Davis, a self-described former gang leader, was indicted. Davis is currently on trial for Shakur’s murder, and Court TV's Cody Thomas joins "Forbes True Crime" to discuss what's been happening in the courtroom.

After initially pleading not guilty to all charges related to the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, Luigi Mangione admitted in a courtroom last week that “on the morning of December 4, 2024, I shot Mr. Thompson in Manhattan and he died.” The 28-year-old pleaded guilty to federal stalking charges related to the death of Thompson, who was gunned down in midtown Manhattan on his way to an investors' meeting. Immediately following Mangione’s guilty plea in federal court, his legal team began trying to get his state case thrown out, citing New York’s double jeopardy law. On Monday, a state judge postponed Mangione’s New York trial indefinitely and gave prosecutors until Oct. 9 to respond to the defense’s motion to dismiss the state charges. Criminal defense attorney Jo-Anna Nieves joins “Forbes True Crime” to discuss the latest developments.

On the evening of Jan. 24, 2023, Lindsay Clancy strangled her three young children with exercise bands in the basement of her Duxbury, Massachusetts, home. She then slashed her throat and wrists before jumping out a second-story window in an attempt to take her life that left her partially paralyzed. Now, she is on trial for the first-degree murders of 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 8-month-old Callan. Prosecutors argue that she should be held criminally responsible for their deaths, while Clancy’s legal team is arguing she should not because she was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time she killed her children. Sierra Gillespie, the host of Law&Crime’s “Scandal,” has been covering this case and joins “Forbes True Crime” to discuss the trial.
