Crime Talk with Scott Reisch

New questions are surrounding the Cornell 7 controversy after recordings reportedly captured a longtime fraternity adviser claiming he had connections inside Cornell University Police and could call in "favors."

The recordings involve a different Cornell fraternity and do not establish that police protected the men accused in the Cornell 7 lawsuit, but they arrive while Cornell's handling of sexual misconduct allegations is already under intense scrutiny.

• D4vd returns to court in the Celeste Rivas murder case

BREAKING UPDATE: The David Prevatte murder trial has ended in a mistrial after allegations of juror misconduct disrupted deliberations.

The day began with the judge investigating Juror Number Three over claims that she brought outside information into the jury room. She was ultimately removed, but as questioning of the remaining panel continued, additional concerns surfaced about information being discussed that had never been introduced as evidence. The judge ultimately determined the case could not continue with the jury and declared a mistrial.

We added the breaking development to today's show after our original recording.

Christa Pike survived Tennessee's attempt to execute her by lethal injection after receiving both doses authorized under the state's execution protocol.

A major development in the Lindsay Clancy case. During today's hearing, defense attorney Kevin Reddington argued that prosecutors failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Clancy actually killed her three children — a significant new approach following the mistrial earlier this month.

Judge William Sullivan did not rule on the defense's request for a required finding of not guilty, while other major issues — including double jeopardy, the controversy surrounding the holdout juror and the prosecution's request for a gag order — remain unresolved. The next major hearing is scheduled for November 2.

Two very different murder trials now have one striking thing in common: prosecutors are pointing to secret affairs as part of the story behind the alleged crimes.

In Ohio, the Caleb Flynn murder trial continues after jurors heard nearly two days of testimony from his former mistress, Alleigha Botner, including portions of approximately 107,000 messages exchanged during their affair. The jury also heard AI-generated love songs Flynn allegedly created for Botner as prosecutors try to connect the relationship, Flynn's statements and the timeline to the murder of his wife, Ashley Flynn.

In Tennessee, former paramedic Matthew...

The Lindsay Clancy mistrial fallout is getting even more complicated.

New information has surfaced about the lone holdout juror's background, including a previously dismissed domestic violence charge and an active restraining order. At the same time, comments from one of the 11 jurors who favored a lack-of-criminal-responsibility verdict are now raising questions of their own.

Another Lindsay Clancy juror is breaking his silence — and what he says about the lone holdout is raising even more questions about how the jury ended up deadlocked 11-to-1.

Juror Nick Dargie says he repeatedly asked the holdout to identify the evidence supporting his position and claims he never received a clear answer. He also describes a bizarre moment involving an exercise band during deliberations. We break down what these new allegations mean, the other side of the argument, and why the holdout's own version of events remains the one we still have not heard.

Lindsay Clancy's jurors are finally speaking publicly after the shocking 11-1 mistrial — and they're revealing extraordinary details about what happened inside the jury room.

Several jurors say the lone holdout admitted he had reasonable doubt about Lindsay Clancy's criminal responsibility, but still refused to vote not guilty by reason of insanity. Now defense attorney Kevin Reddington says he intends to ask the court to dismiss the case on double-jeopardy grounds.

The Lindsay Clancy murder trial is now in the hands of the jury.

After weeks of testimony, prosecutors and the defense delivered sharply different closing arguments over the central question in the case: Was Lindsay Clancy criminally responsible when she killed her three children, or was she suffering from a mental disease or defect that left her legally not responsible?

Prosecutors argued the killings were planned, deliberate and carried out by someone who understood that what she was doing was wrong. The defense argued Clancy was suffering from s...

The Lindsay Clancy trial entered Day 20 with prosecutors continuing their rebuttal of the defense's postpartum psychosis claim.

Dr. Kirk Heilbrun maintained that Clancy was seriously mentally ill but still understood that killing her children was wrong and remained criminally responsible. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington aggressively challenged his qualifications, methodology, and roughly $54,000 in fees.

Prosecutors then called forensic psychiatrist Dr. Gregory Saathoff, who questioned Clancy's claim that a male voice suddenly appeared during the killings, repeatedly ordered her to kill her children, and then disappeared afterward.

Saathoff will return Wednesday to finish his testimony...

The prosecution's rebuttal case in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial put two mental health experts at the center of the fight over criminal responsibility.

Defense attorney Kevin Reddington continued his tense cross-examination of psychiatrist Dr. Avram Mack, challenging his experience, methodology, prior forensic work, and conclusions about Clancy's mental state. Mack maintained that Clancy was suffering from a serious depressive illness but was not psychotic and remained capable of understanding right from wrong and controlling her conduct.

Then forensic psychologist Dr. Kirk Heilbrun offered a different diagnosis — Bipolar II disorder — while...

Karmelo Anthony has scored a significant procedural victory in his fight for a new trial.

The Texas judge who presided over Anthony's murder trial, State District Judge John Roach Jr., has been recused from the case after Anthony's new legal team argued that Roach's post-trial comments and other actions raised questions about whether he could fairly consider allegations that serious mistakes occurred during the original trial. Visiting Judge Sid Harle granted the recusal Wednesday, and Judge Michael B. Chitty has now been assigned to the case.

Luigi Mangione's New York state trial has been postponed as his defense launches a potentially case-ending double-jeopardy challenge following his federal guilty plea.

Judge Gregory Carro canceled the September 8 trial date and gave Manhattan prosecutors until October 9 to respond.

Mangione pleaded guilty to two federal stalking charges and admitted that he followed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson to New York and shot him.
