Lindsay Clancy’s lawyer Kevin Reddington and Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) are clashing over the latter’s recent comments on the case. Reddington blasted Mace after she called for Lindsay to be publicly executed.
Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial after the jury returned without a verdict for the third time. The Massachusetts mother faces three counts of murder in the killings of her children Cora, 5; Dawson , 3; and Callan, 8 months. Jurors in Plymouth state court spent over 38 hours in deliberations over the charges against Lindsay. The 12-person jury was made up of nine women and three men, and was split 11 to one, per the notes given to the court, The Guardian reported.
“Her children are dead, she should be dead too,” Mace told the outlet. In a separate X post , Mace told Reddington, “Your client killed her own children.
After Mace’s comments surfaced, Bryan Llenas, National Correspondent for Fox News Channel, quoted Reddington as replying, “Nancy Mace does not know this case, has never seen the evidence, and has never sat in that courtroom. Lindsay Clancy has not been convicted of anything, and Massachusetts has not had a death penalty in more than forty years. A congresswoman from South Carolina calling for a public execution is not law. I will deal with that in court, not on television. My client was a mother suffering from postpartum psychosis. That is what this case is about, and that is where my attention stays.
“Reddington’s entire job is to make sure three dead children never get the last word,” said Mace.
It is a stunt, and its only purpose is to inflame the public against a woman whose case is still before the Court.
