Jon is an active 911 dispatcher and certified crisis negotiator working calls like this one this week. Together they walk through what's actually on the record in the Nolan Wells case — not what's circulating.Excerpts from @TheOfficerTatum were used in this episode.

Transcribe →Lindsay Clancy Trial: The Three Things You Need to Know
2w ago00:31:30Tap to summarizeLindsay Clancy's murder trial begins with jury selection on Monday, July 20 — nearly three and a half years after the deaths of her three children in Duxbury, Massachusetts. Prosecutors just dropped the strangulation charges (July 9), narrowing the case to three counts of first-degree murder, and Clancy's defense has confirmed she'll argue lack of criminal responsibility — what's commonly called an insanity defense.But Massachusetts runs this defense backwards from almost every other state. Jon — an active 911 dispatcher with 11+ years of experience — breaks down what a call like Patrick Clancy's actually does to the person taking it, and why the 911 call itself may become one of the most important pieces of evidence at trial. Drew — a 29-year law enforcement veteran — walks through the legal mechanics: why the burden of proof in this case falls on the state, not the defense, and what that means for how this trial will actually be decided.
