The Lindsay Clancy murder trial came to an end today after Judge Sullivan declared a mistrial, leaving the case unresolved. The decision follows weeks of testimony and intense debate over Clancy’s mental state and what happened the night her three children died. The jury’s inability to reach a unanimous verdict means the legal battle may be far from over. What happens next, and will prosecutors seek a new trial? Mike Coyne, Dean of the Massachusetts School of Law in Andover, joined Bradley for legal analysis of the case and what lies ahead.

What if everything you learned about the shape of the Earth is wrong? Flat Earth believers say the planet is not a globe but rather a flat plane, pointing to everything from the horizon to flight paths as evidence. Bradley talked with Flat Earth Proponent Mark Sargent who shared his thoughts on why he believes the earth is flat and how he firmly believes the 1969 moon landing was faked.

The Lindsay Clancy jury remains deadlocked after six days of deliberations, with the case now hanging on the question of whether prosecutors proved criminal responsibility beyond a reasonable doubt. Judge William Sullivan has urged jurors to keep deliberating, while the defense has raised concerns about one juror’s understanding of the court’s instructions on reasonable doubt. Mike Coyne, Dean of the Massachusetts School of Law in Andover, joined Bradley for legal analysis of the day's proceedings and what we might expect next.

You get a friendly text from someone you don’t know, you start chatting, and before you know it, they’re talking about an investment that supposedly can make you serious money. It’s called a “pig butchering” scam, and these scammers spend weeks or even months building your trust before convincing you to hand over your money. Bradley talked with Robert Siciliano, CEO of the cybersecurity training company “Protect Now,” about how to avoid becoming a victim!

The Lindsay Clancy jury remains deadlocked after five days of deliberations, telling the judge for a second time that they cannot reach a unanimous verdict. The judge questioned jurors individually today after a woman was arrested for allegedly filming them outside the courthouse, then sent them back to continue deliberating. If the jury cannot reach a verdict, the judge could declare a mistrial, leaving prosecutors to decide whether to retry the case.

Continued conversation about how Massachusetts Democrats seem to be changing their approach to Israel as the issue has become increasingly unpopular with parts of the Democratic base. Critics say they know the risks of cutting military support for Israel but are choosing what’s politically popular. Barry Shrage, former president of Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Greater Boston, and Jeff Robbins, former U.S. delegate to the United Nations Human Rights Commission, argue that going along with what’s politically fashionable might be smart politics, but it’s bad policy and could make Israel and the region less secure.

What happens when a lifelong Democrat decides the party he once called home has moved too far from his core beliefs? In his new book, Alan Dershowitz explains why he left the Democratic Party, pointing to what he sees as growing extremism, particularly over Israel, while making clear that he still holds many traditionally liberal views. It’s a look at political realignment, ideological division, and what happens when your party no longer feels like your party. Dershowitz joined Dan to discuss.
