🚨WAIT... did the prosecution really ask Lindsay Clancy’s mother-in-law THIS?👀 This morning, Lindsay’s mother-in-law Susan Clancy testified for the defense. She described Lindsay as a loving mother who was “begging for help.” Then came cross-examination... And the prosecution’s questioning took a turn. Prosecutor Amanda Buckingham asked Susan if she was an active member of the Catholic Church. Susan said yes. Then Buckingham asked if she knew that MURDER is considered a “mortal sin.” 😳 The questioning was interrupted and there was a SIDEBAR. Judge Sullivan then instructed the jury NOT to consider the prosecutor’s question. So... what was the prosecution trying to accomplish here? Did that question HELP their case... or HURT it? 👀

Did this question help the prosecution… or hurt them? 😳 During cross-examination of Lindsay Clancy’s mother-in-law, the prosecution asked about her Catholic faith and whether she knew murder was considered a “mortal sin.” After a sidebar, Judge Sullivan instructed the jury not to consider the question. I NEED to know what everyone thought about this moment. 👀 #LindsayClancy #LindsayClancyTrial #TrueCrimeTikTok #CourtTok #TrialTok
