Lindsay Clancy’s Lawyer Makes Stunning Move After Murder Trial Mistrial
yahoo.com • • general
Key Points:
- Lindsay Clancy's lawyer, Kevin Reddington, plans to file a motion to dismiss the case on double-jeopardy grounds, arguing the mistrial was declared without "manifest necessity."
- The motion, set to be filed on September 29, contends that another trial should be barred because the court did not properly address the holdout juror's conduct during deliberations.
- Clancy faces charges related to the deaths of her three children, with her defense citing postpartum psychosis and medication, while prosecutors claim she was capable of planning the killings.
- The jury was split 11-1 after more than seven days of deliberations, leading to a mistrial on September 4; one juror reportedly acknowledged reasonable doubt but did not follow the judge's instructions.
- Reddington also requested a pardon from former President Donald Trump, despite the case involving state charges, but has not received a response; prosecutors have not yet decided on retrying Clancy.
