0:00.0	Welcome to MK True Crime. I'm Ashley Merchant. I'm a criminal defense attorney out of Atlanta, Georgia.
0:09.8	Here's what's on the docket today. A key grand jury witness in the David case was arrested for failing to testify.
0:16.4	We'll share how this person is connected to David and more. And Lindsay Clancy, the mother accused of
0:21.8	killing her three children, is now suing several of her mental health care providers. Does she have a
0:26.7	case? We'll discuss. And Court TV lead anchor Vinipolitan joins us to discuss the latest in the O'Pair
0:33.0	murder case and the Corey Richens claim that the state is threatening witnesses ahead of her murder

1:24.0	as a homicide and a secret grand jury is hearing evidence in the case right now.
1:28.7	So, Phil, what is going on with this witness who doesn't want to testify in front of the grand jury?
1:33.2	And now apparently got locked up for that.
1:36.2	You know, normally when we do what we call, you know, these are, it's an attachment warrant, right?
1:43.8	It's a material witness warrant for a witness who doesn't want to come to court or in this
1:48.6	case come to a grand jury.
1:50.9	They had to lock this guy up.
