Rust Trial

New documents filed in the Rob Thomson case allege neglect by attorney Tim Bradl for failing to file a motion he promised. Last month this case drew a lot of attention, and Bradl’s media appearances were not in short supply, like in so many of his other client matters. He likes the spotlight. Now that the cameras have moved on, it appears he’s allegedly abandoned his client. The motion filed by Thomson himself alleges that Bradl never filed a motion for court permission so he could leave the state for vacation and ultimately led to his detention. In court hearings, Bradl talked about how he’d noticed his client’s brain injuries from the accident at the center of the case and even hinted at mental issues. Still no justification for walking away. This is a man who lost his son and whose entire world changed overnight. He could have been given a little more grace by his attorney. This would not be the first client accusing Bradl of neglecting his duties and taking on too many cases. Not too long ago, another one of his clients would constantly whine to me like a little toddler about how Bradl spread himself too thin and took on too many murder cases. As of this reporting, Bradl is listed as attorney of record in 5 different murder cases currently pending in the state. He also served as attorney on at least 2 other murder trials during 2026, which resolved in guilty convictions. Funny how people like Kyle Sharkey, who were glued to this case and busy framing every development as a win for the witness intimidation statute, have gone completely silent now that the updates aren’t so flattering.

Lindsay Clancy Conspiracy Promoter Charged with Felony Wiretapping Patrick Clancy’s Father Shawna Leigh Gramkow, who operates the Instagram account “Salty Lunatics,” has been charged with felony wiretapping after allegedly secretly recording Patrick Clancy’s father, Christopher Clancy, during a phone call and publishing the recording on Instagram. Grankow has a large instagram and TikTok presence where she peddles the Patrick Did It conspiracy. According to the Scituate Police report, Clancy told investigators he accidentally answered a call from an unfamiliar number and was unaware he was being recorded. Police subsequently obtained a search warrant for Instagram records, identified Gramkow as the account holder, and confirmed the recording had been published on the account. Her arraignment is scheduled for November 20, 2026, in Hingham District Court. Hopefully, civil defamation lawsuits are next for those spreading baseless accusations and conspiracy theories about this family. The Clancy family has endured enough without having to deal with this relentless online circus.
