Summary
Kevin Reddington told a Plymouth Superior Court judge that his client continues to experience thoughts of self-harm, needs monitoring throughout the day, and that if she dies before or during trial, that is on somebody. And it is not him. That is where we are.
The final chapter of our five-part series is Tony Brueski's examination of the courtroom, the constitutional battles, and the question that no verdict in Plymouth will fully resolve: what does criminal responsibility mean when a defendant's own defense doesn't contest the acts — only the mind behind them?
This episode covers the bifurcation fight and the Fifth Amendment argument at its core; the prosecution's premeditation theory; the defense's psychosis argument; the psychiatric evaluation ahead of trial; and the parallel civil malpractice suits that may produce more lasting change than any criminal verdict. It closes with the structural reality no verdict will fix: postpartum psychosis still isn't in the DSM, and the system that processed Lindsay Clancy is still running.
The verdict is coming. The questions already belong to all of us.
