The Lindsay Clancy jury had barely deadlocked when the news broke out of Frankfort, Illinois. Corie Walsh, 40, a mother of four, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her 2-year-old son Barrett, and prosecutors say she was actively texting about the Clancy case up to three and a half hours before her child was found. The internet immediately called it a copycat. Prosecutors said in open court they don't think it was one. Tonight on Defense Diaries Live, Bob and Ali Motta go through the detention petition line by line: the statements Walsh allegedly made to officers about her son being the "devil" and the "anti-Christ," the defense account of a woman who was incoherent, yelling the names of fruits and singing "Follow the Yellow Brick Road" when first responders arrived, and the judge's finding that she is a clear and present threat to her husband and other children. We cover what the Clancy texts do and don't establish legally, why the defense is already signaling an insanity path, how Illinois insanity law differs from Massachusetts, what the Clancy mistrial means for a Will County jury pool, and the detention hearing that kept her in custody pending trial. Next court date is September 24. Just facts. Balls and strikes. No speculation dressed up as analysis. 00:00:00 - Intro & Greetings: IL v.
