After a jury could not convict Lindsay Clancy, her attorney told a national audience what he will and will not accept from the state. Eric Faddis, defense attorney and former prosecutor, joins Hidden Killers Live to break down Kevin Reddington's post-mistrial playbook.
Judge William Sullivan declared the mistrial on September 4, 2026, after 38 hours of deliberation. Reddington says the jury was 11-1 for not guilty. He then went on Good Morning America and asked President Trump to consider a pardon, a request he knows the president cannot grant in a state case. He told CBS Boston the goal was to seek Trump's help and described DA Tim Cruz as a hard-charging conservative he hopes will reconsider. On a plea, he said: "I would not plead Lindsay Clancy to a day in jail." On September 29 he will ask the judge for a required finding of not guilty, which means a ruling that the evidence was too weak to convict.
Tony asks Eric what the audience wants to know. What is a pardon request to Washington supposed to do to a county DA? Is a public no-jail promise a bluff or real leverage after an 11-1 split? What are the two sides actually saying to each other? Why file a motion judges rarely grant? And if prison is off the table, how does a defense lock in psychiatric care without a guilty plea?
Lindsay Clancy is charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the January 2023 deaths of her three children. She is held at Tewksbury Hospital. DA Cruz has not decided on a retrial, and his office had no comment on Reddington's statements.
