In a nationally televised interview on ABC’s Good Morning America, defense lawyer Kevin Reddington announced his willingness to negotiate a plea deal for his client, Massachusetts mother Lindsay Clancy. The case, which centers on the tragic deaths of Clancy’s three children, concluded with a mistrial after a single juror prevented a unanimous verdict.

Attorney seeks cooperation with district attorney

Reddington said he is prepared to work with Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz, describing Cruz as “a very hard‑charging prosecutor, a conservative gentleman” he has known for three decades. He urged Cruz to revisit the case in light of the evidence presented at trial, which he believes supports an acquittal.

Background on the mistrial

The jury, composed of nine women and three men, was deadlocked with an 11‑1 split favoring acquittal, according to Reddington. He claimed the defense had “crushed” the prosecution, though he acknowledged his earlier comments could have been more circumspect.

Potential plea implications

Legal analysts noted that a plea agreement would likely involve a conviction but could result in a lighter sentence and access to mental‑health treatment for Clancy, who has faced scrutiny over postpartum depression, anxiety, and psychosis.

Call for presidential pardon

Reddington concluded the interview by appealing directly to President Donald Trump, asking the President to consider granting a pardon. President Trump previously described the case as a “horrible tragedy” and “terrible,” indicating he has been following the proceedings.

Next steps

The district attorney’s office has not yet commented on whether a retrial will be pursued or if a plea deal is on the table. The case remains pending in state court, meaning any pardon would have to come from the Governor of Massachusetts, not the President.
