O lindsay Clancy's lawyer Kevin Reddington made an appeal to Donald Trump this Tuesday during an interview with ABC's Good Morning America.
“Sir President, I hope you will consider this young woman – the kind of person she is and what she has gone through – and consider granting her forgiveness,” he said, when questioned by the presenter of the programme about what would be the next step in defending the woman accused of killing her three children, aged 5 and 3 and 8 months.
The lawyer, 75 years old, said he hoped Trump would pronounce himself, given that he had “feel compelled to talk about this case”, without mentioning however that Trump had stated that his mother would have to “pay the price” of the crime.
It is recalled that last week the President of the United States referred to the case by referring to it as “a horrible tragedy”.
“She did a horrible thing. It couldn't have been worse. But she will pay your price. There will be a price. It will be in a mental institution, a prison or something,” Trump said.
The lawyer, during today’s interview, reinforced that Lindsay is “a great person” and admitted to having created “a strong connection” with Lindsay.
Lindsay Clancy's case
Lindsay Clancy is accused of killing her three children, five-year-old Cora, Dawson, three-year-old, and eight-month Callan, at the family residence in Massachusetts in 2023. After the children were asphyxiated, the woman threw herself out a window of her house, having survived. However, she suffered severe spinal injuries that left her paraplegic.
More than 80 people witnessed in this trial, with the chances for this woman being the conviction for manslaughter (possibility introduced more recently), first-degree murder or second-degree murder. There is also the possibility that Clancy is not found guilty for reasons of mental health. In this case, the woman will be admitted.
On Friday, the judge declared Lindsay Clancy's trial null, given that the jury did not reach a consensus in the verdict
36-year-old Lindsay Clancy will return to Tewksbury Hospital in Massachusetts, the psychiatric hospital she was already in, according to her lawyer, Kevin Reddington.
It is in this institution that Clancy must remain while it is decided whether or not a new trial is held.
