This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.
In January 2022, Lindsay Clancy was accused of killing her three young children in their Massachusetts home before attempting to take her own life, in a case that has raised complex questions around postpartum mental illness and criminal responsibility.
Her children, Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, all died in the attack, and Clancy’s first trial ended in a mistrial after the jury was unable to reach a verdict.
Former prosecutor and trial attorney Margaret McLean joins us to discuss the case and what comes next.

In the 1990s, Steven Meyers was an accomplice to his friend Scott Scurlock, better known as the “Hollywood Bandit”, who carried out a remarkable series of bank robberies across Seattle using elaborate disguises and meticulous planning to evade police.
Scurlock stole millions of dollars and lived an extraordinary double life from a three-storey treehouse outside Olympia.
Steven was there for much of it, and today he joins us to talk about their friendship, how their bank-robbing operation actually worked, and what happened when their extraordinary double life finally came crashing down.

Australia is in the middle of a difficult conversation about violence. From youth crime to knife attacks and domestic violence, politicians, police and communities are all searching for answers.
So what if one country has already been through this, and found a way to dramatically reduce violent crime?
Karyn McCluskey helped lead that transformation. As one of the founders of Scotland's Violence Reduction Unit, she helped change Glasgow from one of Europe's most violent cities into an international case study in violence prevention by treating violence as a public health issue, not just a criminal justice problem.
Today, Karyn joins us to explain what worked, what didn't, and what Australia can learn from Scotland's experience.
