Brian Entin Investigates

Lindsay Clancy holdout juror Michael Desronvil did his first interview and said Clancy was “methodical” in the execution of her children. He also said he was truthful on his juror form, and that he made his decision based on the evidence and paying attention the entire trial. Is Desronvil being truthful? Body language expert Susan Constantine analyzes the interview in this episode of Brian Entin Investigates.

The Federal murder trial of former Massachusetts police officer Matthew Farwell is entering day four with shocking new allegations emerging. Farwell is accused of killing 23-year-old Sandra Birchmore after grooming and sexually assaulting her when she was underage and in the police department’s explorers’ program. But who else in the department had information — and what does Farwell’s twin brother know? In this episode of Brian Entin Investigates, we take you inside the courtroom with the latest on the twisted case.

The trial is underway for Matthew Farwell, a former Massachusetts police detective who is accused of murdering Sandra Birchmore, a pregnant woman who he was having an affair with. Farwell is accused of grooming Birchmore when she was underage and working for the department’s explorers program. But this is not your average murder trial. Criminal defense attorney Mark Bederow joins Brian to talk about what federal prosecutions have to prove in this case, allegations of scandals behind the scenes, and the connections to the Karen Read case.

911 calls have been released that portray a chaotic and confusing scene after Christa Pike’s botched execution. "We've been carrying out an execution tonight. We've administered 10 grams of pentobarbital. The person is not yet deceased. That started approximately 1 hour ago. And we're calling for an ambulance," a caller from the Riverbend Maximum Security Institution said. In this episode of Brian Entin Investigates, Brian plays two of the calls and discusses the latest on Pike’s condition behind bars.

Christa Pike is out of the hospital and back in prison in Tennessee, according to her attorneys. The state attempted to execute Pike, but she survived. The question now — what will happen next? Columbia professor Bernard Harcourt represented a man in a similar situation. Doyle Lee Hamm had a botched execution in Alabama, and Harcourt was able to negotiate a deal with the state to stop a second execution. In this episode, Brian talked with Bernard about the similarities between the cases and what could happen next for Christa. Also, a supporter of victim Colleen Slemmer’s family speaks out about why she believes another execution should move forward.
