Clancy Lawyer Urges Trump to Grant Pardon After 3-Child Murder Mistrial

3 articles · Updated · Turn to 10 · Sep 8

Summary

  • Good Morning America gave Kevin Reddington a national platform Tuesday to ask President Donald Trump to pardon Lindsay Clancy days after her murder trial ended in a mistrial.
  • Reddington said Clancy was suffering from postpartum psychosis and was affected by prescribed drugs, arguing those conditions drove the killings and should weigh in any clemency decision.
  • Women and Infants Hospital in Rhode Island was also cited by the defense as having turned Clancy away because of her medication; NBC 10 said it sought comment from the hospital.
  • The case centers on the 2023 deaths of Clancy's 3 children, and the pardon push comes as her defense tries to avoid a retrial after the jury failed to reach a verdict.
