Aug 26: Lindsay Clancy Trial

Red finally said it. Not: “The investigation was weak.” Not: “The investigation had problems.” He said: “It wasn’t a lousy investigation. It wasn’t even an atrocious investigation. It was NO investigation.” And then he started naming the holes. Window screen? Not properly investigated. Blood? Not fully tested. The alleged crushed medication? Not properly confirmed. Powder? Not tested. Siding? Collected later, after degradation. And Red’s argument is basically: The Commonwealth decided what happened first… and then failed to thoroughly investigate everything that could challenge that conclusion. That is why he is asking for a Bowden instruction. Meaning he wants the jury told they can consider a deficient investigation when deciding whether there is reasonable doubt. THIS is what all those little questions have been building toward: Was it tested? Was it photographed? Was it verified? Or did everyone just assume? And now Red is saying the quiet part out loud: The investigation itself may be part of the reasonable doubt. #LindsayClancy #LindsayClancyTrial #KevinReddington #CourtTok #TrialTok
