- Lindsay Clancy defense wants TikToker to expose hospital ‘lies’ as judge warns ‘this is not Tripadvisor’
During Lindsay Clancy's murder trial, her defense attorney, Kevin Reddington, moved to add former McLean clinical social worker Emily Thorndike as a witness. Reddington argued she could challenge witnesses who misrepresented the psychiatric facility. Prosecutors countered that Thorndike had left McLean roughly a year before Clancy’s stay and lacked firsthand knowledge. Judge William Sullivan questioned the relevance of her testimony, quipping that 'This is not Tripadvisor.'
