Kevin Reddington Says WHAT Is Off the Table for Clancy?!

Lindsay Clancy's mistrial ended one jury fight and immediately opened several others, including Kevin Reddington's public request for President Donald Trump to help his client. A president cannot pardon a defendant on Massachusetts state charges, but Reddington has said he made the appeal because any help could matter while prosecutors decide whether to retry her.

The pressure campaign is tied to the defense's view of how the first trial went wrong. Medical witnesses described Clancy's neck and wrist cuts as superficial. Her fall from the home caused a spinal injury that left her paralyzed, and Reddington argued the state had tried to minimize the seriousness of the overall attempt.

After seven days and roughly 38 hours of deliberation, Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial on September 4. Reddington has said the jury was divided 11-1 in favor of acquittal based on lack of criminal responsibility, a split later echoed by jurors speaking publicly. District Attorney Timothy Cruz has not announced a retrial decision. An emergency Supreme Judicial Court request over the holdout juror was denied, and a spectator was arrested after allegedly filming jurors outside the courthouse.

The defense is also asking Sullivan for a required finding of not guilty under Rule 25. The September 29 hearing is scheduled to address that request along with status and trial assignment. If the motion fails and prosecutors continue, both sides will have to decide how much the first jury's reported split changes the next trial or any negotiation.

Bob Motta of Defense Diaries and defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis join Tony Brueski to work through the fallout. They examine the disputed injury strategy, the mistrial record, the Rule 25 standard, and Reddington's refusal to accept a resolution requiring jail time. They also explain why the defense sought presidential attention while the charging decision remains with a Massachusetts district attorney.
