Holdout Juror's Lawyers Plan Bar Complaint Against Clancy Attorney Over 12-Person Mistrial

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Sep 30

Summary

  • Tyler Cox said he and Edward Paltzik will file a bar complaint against Lindsay Clancy defense lawyer Kevin Reddington over his treatment of the lone juror who voted to convict.
  • Reddington has called the juror "the obstructionist" and, the lawyers say, singled him out through an unprecedented motion and public remarks after the 12-person jury deadlocked.
  • Plymouth County prosecutors have separately sought a gag order, accusing Reddington of helping expose the holdout's identity and making comments that could prejudice any future jury pool.
  • Clancy, 36, faces charges in the 2023 strangling deaths of her three children; after the mistrial, she is due back in court Nov. 2, with no retrial date set.
