TL;DR
- Lindsay Clancy's lawyer, Kevin Reddington, will file a motion to dismiss the murder charges on September 29, citing double jeopardy.
- The motion follows a mistrial declared on September 4, after jurors could not reach a unanimous verdict in the case of Clancy accused of murdering her three children.
- Reddington claims a mistrial was not a 'manifest necessity' due to a single juror reportedly refusing to follow legal instructions on reasonable doubt.
- The defense attorney seeks to prevent a retrial and hopes for a plea deal, potentially reducing charges.
- Reddington also expressed hope that the trial raises awareness about postpartum psychosis and the need for adequate psychiatric treatment.
- He previously sought a pardon for Clancy from President Trump, despite the charges being state-level.
