Lindsay Clancy attorney asks Trump for pardon after mistrial

( NewsNation ) — Lindsay Clancy ‘s attorney said in a recent interview that he hopes President Trump will consider a pardon for his client.

A judge declared a mistrial last week after jurors failed to reach an agreement in the case.

In an interview with Good Morning America , attorney Kevin Reddington said he hopes an agreement can be reached between prosecutors and the defense and that Trump could consider a pardon.

Clancy is charged with murder in the deaths of her three young children. Prosecutors say it was a premeditated crime, while the defense says she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and is not criminally responsible for her actions.

Prosecutors have yet to make a decision on whether they will retry the case.

Speaking to the press after the mistrial was declared, Reddington indicated the jury was moving to find Clancy not guilty by reason of insanity, with one juror who was a holdout.

Following the mistrial, prosecutors have the option of retrying the case, making a plea deal or dropping the charges.

While Reddington suggested Trump could pardon his client, the president only has the authority to pardon those charged with federal crimes. Clancy is on trial in Massachusetts on state charges.

Trump briefly weighed in on the case last week, calling the deaths “a shame” and “a horrible tragedy.”
