Summary

  • Kevin Reddington said weekend TV coverage made jury deliberations in Lindsay Clancy's trial "horrific" as he arrived at Plymouth court Monday.
  • Fox News commentator Sean Hannity and legal analyst Nancy Grace drew his sharpest criticism; Reddington accused Grace of misrepresenting facts and challenged claims that Clancy had researched how to kill.
  • A 12-member jury — nine women and three men — resumed deliberations after 1 1/2 days last week on whether Clancy, 36, is guilty or not criminally responsible because of mental illness.
  • Clancy faces three murder charges in the 2023 deaths of Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months; her trial began July 20 and she is being held at Tewksbury State Hospital.
