349: Separating Emotion from Evidence in the Lindsay Clancy Case, and What Could Come Next, with Trial Attorney Whitney Boan (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Lindsay Clancy trial ended with a hung jury—but the public is still fiercely divided. In this episode, I’m joined by Orlando trial attorney Whitney Boan of The Payne Law Firm to unpack what happened inside the courtroom, why the case inspired such an intensely emotional response, and what the law actually requires when a defendant pleads not guilty by reason of insanity.

Read excerpt

Nadell argues that antisemitism has a much longer—and much more American—history than many of us realize... and history shows us that its poison often bleeds into other communities, as well. Pamela is an award-winning historian, professor and the Pa
