The True Crime Killer: The Levi Carte Case

Lindsay Clancy Trial: The Three Things You Need to Know

Lindsay Clancy's murder trial begins with jury selection on Monday, July 20 — nearly three and a half years after the deaths of her three children in Duxbury, Massachusetts. Prosecutors just dropped the strangulation charges (July 9), narrowing the case to three counts of first-degree murder, and Clancy's defense has confirmed she'll argue lack of criminal responsibility — what's commonly called an insanity defense.But Massachusetts runs this defense backwards from almost every other state. Jon — an active 911 dispatcher with 11+ years of experience — breaks down what a call like Patrick Clancy's actually does to the person taking it, and why the 911 call itself may become one of the most important pieces of evidence at trial. Drew — a 29-year law enforcement veteran — walks through the legal mechanics: why the burden of proof in this case falls on the state, not the defense, and what that means for how this trial will actually be decided.

Karmelo Comments, Jon and Drew Answers

You left the comments. Drew (retired Police Commander) and Jon (active 911 dispatcher) read them live — and some of the internet's theories about the Karmelo Anthony case needed a legal reality check.Was it a knife or a "utility tool"? Does epilepsy justify deadly force? When do Miranda rights actually apply? We go comment by comment with the operational experience to separate what's legally relevant from what just feels satisfying to believe.

Moriah Wilson's Killer Almost Got Away-- Twice

Kaitlin Armstrong walked out of an interrogation room a free woman — a wrong birthday on her arrest warrant forced police to let her go, right in the middle of the Moriah Wilson murder investigation. Then, 19 days before her murder trial, she tried to disappear again. Retired Police Commander Drew Breasy (29 years, narcotics, criminal intelligence, 911 center administration) and active 911 Dispatcher Jon (11+ years, certified crisis negotiator) break down the case operationally: the 911 call, the 90-minute investigative window, the pretext arrest that nearly fell apart, the ballistics match, the international manhunt to Costa Rica, and the jailbreak attempt weeks before trial.

Karmelo Anthony: "I Did It" Bodycam & 911 Calls

Most people can feel how disturbing this evidence is. We can tell you what it means. Jon (Active 911 Dispatcher) and Drew (Retired Police Commander) break down the newly released 911 calls and bodycam footage from the Karmelo Anthony case — the same evidence played in front of the jury that convicted him of first-degree murder and sentenced him to 35 years. Jon analyzes the calls from the dispatcher's chair: what the callers gave, what they missed, and how that information moved through the system. Drew breaks down the bodycam: what Anthony's behavior tells you, what officers did right, and what "I did it" means from a law enforcement perspective. This is operational true crime. Every good true crime story starts with a 9-1-1 call.
