Clancy’s defense seeks presidential pardon after state mistrial

Lindsay Clancy’s attorney Kevin Reddington said on Good Morning America that he hopes President Trump would consider a pardon for Clancy, highlighting her alleged postpartum psychosis; the plea is unusual since presidential clemency covers federal cases, while Massachusetts prosecutors have to decide whether to retry her after a hung jury in the state murder trial or pursue a plea deal, with DA Timothy Cruz weighing options amid the ongoing case. Patrick Clancy’s lawyers also pushed back against online theories about the father’s involvement.
