Clancy Attorney Asks Trump for Pardon After Mistrial

Lindsay Clancy's defense attorney, Kevin Reddington, has publicly appealed to former President Donald Trump to pardon his client, who faces state murder charges. The request came on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, during an appearance on "Good Morning America," following a mistrial declared in Clancy's case on Friday, September 4, 2026. Clancy, 36, was on trial for the first-degree murder of her three young children, Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, who died in January 2023. Her defense team argued she was not criminally responsible due to postpartum psychosis, while prosecutors contended the killings were premeditated. The jury at Plymouth Superior Court deliberated for 38 hours but could not reach a unanimous verdict, leading the judge to declare a mistrial. Reddington stated his hope that Trump, who had previously commented on the case, would consider Clancy's situation and grant a pardon. "Mr. President, I would hope that you would consider this young lady, the type of person she is, what shes been through, and consider a pardon," Reddington said.
