Defense attorney Kevin Reddington is asking President Donald Trump to consider pardoning Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother accused of killing her three young children in 2023.

Reddington made the public appeal Tuesday during an interview on ABC’s Good Morning America, just days after Clancy’s nearly six-week murder trial ended in a mistrial. The jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict after more than a week of deliberations.

“Mr. President, I would hope that you would consider this young lady and the person she is, what she’s been through, and consider a pardon,” Reddington said during the interview.

Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three murder charges stemming from the January 24, 2023, deaths of her 5-year-old daughter, Cora, 3-year-old son, Dawson, and infant son, Callan, at the family’s home in Duxbury, Massachusetts, south of Boston.

Throughout the trial, Clancy’s defense argued that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and was not criminally responsible for her actions. Prosecutors maintained that she was responsible for the deaths and argued that the killings were deliberate.

The trial ended September 4 after jurors failed to reach a verdict, leaving the case unresolved. Prosecutors could still seek a retrial, while Reddington has indicated that the defense is also hopeful of reaching an agreement with the district attorney. A hearing is scheduled for September 29 to address the next steps in the case.

Reddington's request for a pardon also raises a significant legal issue: Clancy is facing state charges in Massachusetts, rather than federal charges. The president's pardon power applies to federal offenses, meaning a presidential pardon would not ordinarily provide relief from a state criminal prosecution.

For now, Clancy remains in state custody while prosecutors and the defense determine how to proceed following the mistrial. Reddington's public appeal places President Trump directly into the national discussion surrounding the case, although the legal proceedings remain under the authority of Massachusetts courts.
