Lindsay Clancy’s lead defense lawyer speaks after mistrial in murder case

Outside the courthouse, Lindsay Clancy’s lead defense attorney Kevin Reddington sharply criticized a juror he believes prevented the other jurors from reaching an acquittal. He said the juror had “robbed” the panel of seven weeks of work.

“

They know they were robbed by one man, for whatever his agenda was, who stole seven weeks of the life of these other jurors that were so attentive, so beautiful, so wonderful.

“They know they were robbed by one man, for whatever his agenda was, who stole seven weeks of the life of these other jurors that were so attentive, so beautiful, so wonderful,” Reddington said. “You could see how defeated they were sitting there. I got a funny feeling they would have gone on for another week if they had to. So I hope that guy can sleep well at night.”

Reddington said his “heart breaks” for Clancy and argued that “she deserved an acquittal.” Despite sharp exchanges in court, he said he deeply respected the judge, whom he referred to as “Sully” while speaking with reporters. Reddington described the judge as fair and said he had been a respected defense lawyer before taking the bench.

The attorney also spoke affectionately about Clancy, saying “she’s like a daughter to me.” He acknowledged that his client understood the focus on her three children. “My client is well aware of the fact that her three kids, who she loved dearly, are the victims in this case,” Reddington said.
