The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

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.

Improper pardon requestLeans Right

Kevin Reddington’s appeal to Donald Trump to pardon Lindsay Clancy is legally unsound. The request is improper and may amount to little more than a publicity stunt rather than a serious legal argument.
