Lindsay Clancy’s defense attorney asked President Donald Trump on Tuesday to pardon the Massachusetts mother who strangled her three young children to death, days after a judge declared a mistrial in her murder trial.
Kevin Reddington made the request during an interview on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”
“Mr. President, I would hope that you would consider this young lady. The type of person she is, what she has been through, and consider a pardon,” he said.
There’s one major problem with his request that any good attorney should know. A president can’t pardon state crimes, only federal.
Clancy, 36, a former labor and delivery nurse, has not disputed that she killed her children. On January 24, 2023, she strangled 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and 8-month-old Callan with exercise bands in the basement of the family’s Duxbury home after sending her then-husband, Patrick Clancy, out to pick up takeout and medicine. ---More...
