Patrick Clancy's attorney has told the people spreading conspiracy theories about him exactly what is coming, and he did it in writing. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to break down how that promise gets kept.
Attorney Howard Cooper released the statement on September 8, 2026. It says Patrick and his family have endured a "relentless, escalating and destructive defamation campaign" for months. It describes the claims that Patrick was involved in his children's deaths as outright falsehoods spread by people who appear intent on boosting their own social media profiles. It says those responsible should understand there will be consequences, that every appropriate measure will be pursued to hold them accountable, including legally, and that law enforcement has been notified.
Eric takes the audience inside each step. Unmasking an anonymous account starts with a lawsuit against a John Doe and a subpoena to the platform. "Just a theory" protects a creator only until the post states something as fact that the creator cannot back up. Discovery in a defamation suit reaches direct messages, drafts, and the revenue an account earned from the posts in question. A campaign that is coordinated and relentless can cross into criminal territory, which is why the phrase "law enforcement has been notified" matters. And a few large judgments could set the template every future family's lawyer copies.
Patrick Clancy was the first witness prosecutors called at the trial of his former wife, Lindsay Clancy, charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the January 24, 2023 deaths of Cora, Dawson, and Callan. That trial ended in a hung jury on September 4, 2026. DA Tim Cruz has not decided on a retrial. The next court date is September 29.
