Lindsay Clancy’s attorney makes plea for pardon from Trump

Published Updated



Lindsay Clancy’s attorney urged President Donald Trump on Tuesday to give her a pardon before her murder case could head for another trial.

Clancy is a Massachusetts woman who admitted to strangling her three young children in 2023 but argued she should not be criminally responsible due to claims she was in a state of psychosis during the killings. A judge last week declared a mistrial in the case, after a 12-member jury was unable to reach a unanimous decision on whether Clancy was in her right mind or psychotic when she killed 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 8-month-old Callan Clancy.
