Episode 10: The Perfect Collapse: Sympathy Is Not Evidence
Firefighter Robert Costanzo testifies to what he saw the night Lindsay Clancy was found injured — and Reddington argues the dark got in the way. This whole case keeps circling back to the same question: is what looks convincing on the surface, the truth? This episode widens our argument to a condition that, like narcissism, sits quietly for years until something breaks the coping mechanisms holding it in place. Then, we place Lindsay Clancy's case beside three others — Latarsha Sanders, Carol Coronado, and Andrea Yates — whose stories didn't get anywhere near the same sympathy.
