The Lindsay Clancy case has moved from one deadlocked jury to a much wider fight over what happens next. Eric Faddis, defense attorney and former prosecutor, joins True Crime Today to connect Kevin Reddington's post-mistrial strategy, Patrick Clancy's response to online accusations, and Tim Cruz's decision on a second prosecution.
Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial on September 4, 2026, after about 38 hours of jury deliberations over seven days. Reddington says the split was 11-1 in favor of acquittal. He then asked President Trump to consider a pardon that a president has no power to grant in a state case. He has also said Lindsay Clancy will not take a plea involving jail time.
The next scheduled court date is September 29, with a Rule 25 matter among the issues set for argument.
Patrick Clancy is dealing with a different legal problem around the same case. His attorney Howard Cooper says Patrick and his family have been targeted by a destructive defamation campaign built around claims that Patrick was involved in his children's deaths. Cooper said every appropriate measure would be pursued and that law enforcement had been notified.
Cruz remains the person who decides whether the Commonwealth tries Lindsay Clancy again. After the mistrial, he said his office believed she was in control of her actions and described the case as cruel and calculated. He has not announced the next charging decision.
Eric explains why each piece matters to that choice. The defense has a jury result it can use as leverage. Patrick's legal team is trying to stop a parallel campaign outside the courthouse. Prosecutors must decide whether the same case, a changed case, or no second trial best serves their office.
September 29 is the first major point where those choices can begin to harden.
