What happened

Kevin Reddington, Lindsay Clancy’s defense attorney, asked President Donald Trump on Good Morning America Tuesday to consider pardoning Clancy after her Massachusetts murder trial ended in a mistrial. A Plymouth Superior Court jury deliberated 38 hours before deadlocking on whether Clancy was criminally responsible in the deaths of her children, 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and 8-month-old Callan. Clancy is accused of fatally strangling the children, and Reddington said the defense hopes to reach an agreement with prosecutors. Presidential pardon authority covers federal offenses, not Massachusetts state charges.
