Lindsay Clancy’s Lawyer Defends Ex-Husband Patrick After Mistrial, Points to ‘Gut-Wrenching’ 911 Call

Lindsay Clancy‘s defense attorney is standing up for her ex-husband, Patrick Clancy, pushing back against the online conspiracy theories that continue to swirl around the high-profile case.

Attorney Kevin Reddington addressed the claims during a Wednesday, September 9 appearance on CBS Mornings, arguing that Patrick, 38, has suffered unimaginable scrutiny and should be allowed to move forward with his life.

“I just think that it’s horrific what this man has been going through, and he’s entitled to move on with his life. And the fact that he’s moved on with his life and still is standing by Lindsay, as far as the legal issues, tells the tale,” Reddington said.

Patrick has not been accused by authorities of involvement in the January 2023 killings of Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, but has been the subject of unfounded conspiracy theories online.

Reddington also pointed to the 911 call Patrick made after returning to the family’s Duxbury, Massachusetts, home that night.

The recording was played for jurors during Lindsay’s trial but has not been released publicly.

“Listen to the 911 call … The public has not heard it. The jury. I understand that the judge made that ruling, but I have said repeatedly the gut-wrenching horror that is in his voice. No actor in California could ever imitate that.”

On Tuesday, September 8, Patrick’s attorney Howard Cooper also issued a statement condemning what he called “vile” and “outright false” claims about Patrick, according to ABC News.

In his scathing statement, he said saying the online speculation had resulted in “real-life threats” to his reputation, livelihood and safety.

Lindsay’s closely watched murder trial ended in a mistrial when jurors failed to reach a unanimous verdict.

The 36-year-old former labor and delivery nurse was charged with three counts of first-degree murder. Her attorneys argued that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and was not criminally responsible for her actions.

Prosecutors disputed that defense.

As Globe previously reported, jurors deliberated for seven days and roughly 40 hours before telling Judge William Sullivan on Friday, September 4, that they could not reach a unanimous decision.

“With a heavy heart, we report we are unable to come to a unanimous decision. We will not be able to,” the jury wrote.

Sullivan then declared a mistrial. The mistrial does not amount to an acquittal, and Lindsay could face another trial. Prosecutors have not yet publicly announced how they plan to proceed.

Reddington also appeared on Good Morning America on Tuesday, September 8, where he urged President Donald Trump to consider a pardon for Lindsay.
