Lindsay Clancy’s attorney asks for Trump pardon in first interview since state mistrial

Key Points:

• Lindsay Clancy’s attorney, Kevin Reddington, called on former President Donald Trump to pardon Clancy following her state murder trial ending in a mistrial, despite presidential pardons only applying to federal crimes.
• Clancy was charged with the strangulation deaths of her three children in Massachusetts, with her defense citing postpartum psychosis and auditory hallucinations, while prosecutors argued she planned the killings; the jury was deadlocked after 38 hours of deliberation.
• Reddington expressed hope to negotiate with District Attorney Timothy Cruz for a plea deal or resolution, emphasizing Clancy’s intelligence and character, and criticized a juror’s refusal to follow the law during deliberations.
• Lawyers for Clancy’s ex-husband condemned online conspiracy theories accusing him of involvement in the murders, labeling these claims as misinformation causing threats and harm, and announced legal action and law enforcement notification.
• Reddington highlighted the impact of postpartum mental health issues, blaming a doctor for overprescribing psychiatric medications and stressing the severity and misunderstanding of postpartum psychosis in women.
