Lindsay Clancy's Lawyer SCREAMED My Name in Court. Big Mistake. Nancy Mace.

[00:00] All right. Good evening. This is Congresswoman Nancy Mace. We have a lot to go over today. Lindsey Clancy's attorney is triggered. That much is for sure. This is all anyone is talking about today. First, we had the appearance in the next hearing for the mistrial of Lindsey Clancy, and Judge Sullivan took the required finding and the double jeopardy issues under advisement. That means that the judge has not ruled on them yet. He'll take them under advisement and rule on them later. There's another upcoming hearing on November 2nd for the holdout juror inquiry, the gag order request. So the prosecutor requested a gag order on Kevin Reddington. That was another big one today, and he left the court quiet, silent. Probably a good thing. And they need to be ready to talk about a retrial date at the next November

[00:55] 2nd hearing. Prosecutors argued that Reddington's public comments created a carnival atmosphere. I think that's probably the understatement of the year.

[01:05] I think it also set the stage for a mistrial

[01:10] based on some of his comments as well. The status hearing after the 11 to 1 deadlock and that, you know, Kevin Reddington had the nerve today to say he's done nothing, that he doesn't need a gag order, that he's... He's not done anything to target the juror. Well, he forgets he's the one that targeted the juror and his court comments. He said today that it wasn't, he just filed a motion. He didn't do anything beyond that, Your Honor. That is not at all what happened.

[01:46] Where is the evidence that she did this? This is a woman that did not get the medication, did not get... the medical treatment that she so deserved. This is a woman that was suffering from

[02:05] psychosis at the time that she went down to that basement.

[02:11] Where's the evidence that she did this? Where is the evidence that she did this? It appears that Kevin Reddington has had a lapse in memory and we'll go over that tonight. He called the lone juror that guy. All of a sudden, stories come out about that. The lone juror and Kevin Reddington, Lindsey Clancy's attorney, starts bloviating about all these articles about the lone juror and posting them on social media, trashing him.

[02:44] Come on, man. Like, that's, that's not reality. And that's my problem with the left. And then today he said he had the nerve to say that he's just responding to Donald Trump, you know, beating his chest and Nancy Mace, me, and Ted Cruz. And that, I guess, I wanted a public execution. Yes, I do. Because if you kill your kids, you should be killed yourself. And do it. State, state, state sanctioned death penalty. Yes. Remind people you cannot kill all of your children. It's a deterrent. In fact, in Tennessee this week, I believe they're executing the first female on death row in over 200 years. Probably well deserved.

[03:28] So the judge said that he'd prefer any trial any time before. I guess any time this year. So all these motions are on the table. The judge will have a hearing on November 2nd to hear them. The DA hasn't said whether or not they will actually retry the case. That has not, there's not been a motion on it. There was a motion to dismiss, was pushed for November 2nd because prosecutors needed more time. They weren't ready to argue that motion today.

[03:59] And the holdout juror investigation will be heard the same day. The best, quote, from Reddington today, when I say best, I mean worst.

[04:09] He said, quote, I'm not ever going to agree to let this young lady do a day in jail. Let me finish that sentence for killing all three of her children who do not have a voice in that courtroom, Kevin.

[04:23] And tonight, or last night, the lone holdout juror gave a statement to Sean Hannity on Fox News. Watch this. I know the whole focus has been on me,

[04:36] trying to reel everything back and put the focus on the three angels that's at hand. What a good Christian man who only was doing what he thought was the right thing to do, based on the evidence before him.

[04:49] And the gag order verbatim, the DA says, Reddington is engaged in substantial publicity pre-trial, during trial, and post-trial that has inevitably tainted any further venue. You say it's up to Tim, but what would you like? I don't know. What does it look like? What does it look like? You know, I know enough to know that it doesn't matter what I'd like. All I know is that I'm not going to ever agree that this young lady do a day in jail. And I, I, I agree with the DA on this, um, that that's what's happened. Um, so no retrial date, but the judge is asking for one to start this year. Some of the firebrands online on both sides of the argument are out there. The Daily Wire had the clip of the outburst, Reddington through a tantrum. They said they named Trump and, and, and me as people, uh, he was re quote reacting to the only thing I want Kevin Reddington is justice for Patrick Clancy's three children,

[05:50] Cora, Dawson, and Callen. They deserve that much. A blaze played that same clip, same framing that he's tired of being called an attacker of the juror. Well, Kevin, if you didn't want to be an attacker of the juror, you sure probably should not have attacked the juror.

[06:07] They know that they were robbed by one man

[06:11] for whatever his agenda was. Who stole seven weeks of the life of these other jurors. It wasn't just about emotion. It was how you singled him out and you gendered him by the way, you announced it was a male juror. The whole nation knew there are only three male jurors. It's one of those three hiccups. I have mineral water, but I also have, um, electrolytes in my water.

[06:40] Um, anyway,

[06:44] of tiktok says if you thought it was just lindsey clancy think again she's not the only one there was a potential purported copycat killing of a child in illinois there was a black woman that murdered her child in new york pink mob wasn't there for her because she was black of course but there's an epidemic of mothers murdering their children is what she says very dark times i agree lips of tiktok it is very dark times and then there's the repeal the 19th crowd

[07:17] who don't want to give women the right to vote and

[07:23] megan mccain says quote feel like a woman becoming president has now gotten much further away from happening since the lindsey clancy trial she posted on september 4th prescient and i ultimately believe that's true may not have a female president in my lifetime joy

[07:42] reed actually backed the whole thing out juror believe it or not and accused the women jurors of going after them well joy you're right they did go after him in an ugly way he had to move out of his house move out of town he had to go into hiding with his family because of the liberal white woman mob all those women in the pink shirts don

[08:08] lemon suggested that clancy's mental illness defense would be ignored if she were black and he's right too i made that point a couple of weeks ago and i think it's a good do you think if she was black it would be a different situation oh nobody would be supporting her if she were black no one would be supporting her if she was black no liberal white women aren't going to support a black woman who murdered her kids there was one in new york that did um and uh just got away with it who murdered her children in new york you didn't see the same why wouldn't liberal white women support a black woman in this exact situation

[08:42] that i'm paraphrasing and i need to put the clip up but if lindsey clancy were black the liberal white women the left the mob would ignore her they ignore ignored the black mom in new york they would have ignored her so plenty of reactions on line online today and all i mean not all of them but this is ridiculous what kevin reddington is claiming now he's claiming too that lindsey clancy that there's no proof she killed her kids roll the tape where is the evidence that she did this this is a woman that did not get the medication did not get the medical treatment that she so deserved this is a woman that was suffering from

[09:33] psychosis at the time that she went down to that basement where's the evidence that she did this where is the evidence that she did this but before that during the trial he

[09:49] acknowledged essentially that she was the killer didn't point any fingers at anybody else they were there to defend he was there to defend his client against a murder charge not one time did he say she didn't do it in the trial it's one thing we talked about over and over again during the trial so lindsey clancy's attorney got triggered every comment i have made has been in reaction to people from donald trump on down to nancy mace down to cruz not the d.a but the paul politician calling for her execution i have responded to these outlandish comments including the guy from houston i just wanted to say that judge the d.a the defense attorney says he wants the case handled in court not on television but after publicly responding to critics appearing on national television and asking the president for a pardon president trump in a state case i mean he did a whole media tour after the mistrial kevin reddington has made himself a part of the public debate what's next for lindsey i'd like to say that perhaps donald trump who felt compelled to speak out about this case may very well mr president i would hope that you would consider this young lady the type of person she is what she's been through and consider a pardon you say it's up to tim but what would you like what does it look like you know i know enough to know that doesn't matter what i'd like all i know is that i'm not going to ever agree that this young lady do

[11:19] a day in jail meanwhile one juror was facing public scrutiny for doing the job he was summoned to do the holdout juror didn't have a choice to serve on that jury he didn't get it he didn't get the right to have the right to say no you don't get to say no when your name is called for the jury you have to serve and

[11:42] three children remain unable to speak for themselves today we're putting the focus back where it belongs on cora dawson and kallen welcome back to get maced three children are dead their father patrick clancy has had to bury all three of his children and yet again and again the public conversation is centered on the mother accused of killing them her mental state her defense the sympathy surrounding her patrick's grief has often been treated as an afterthought hell the view criticized him for getting divorced too soon after all three of his children were killed were murdered this is backwards the children can't hire an attorney they can't go on television or explain their side of

[12:28] that or they don't have the ability because they're dead they're dead because their mother killed them according to kevin reddington in the initial court trial the latest hearing ended without a retrial date the next hearing is set for november 2nd and it's not a retrial date it's a hearing to discuss the retrial the court is expected to address pending defense motions the holdout juror inquiry and other matters the district attorney hasn't announced whether he'll whether the case will actually be retried it sounds like he's skeptical that it's even possible because of the publicity surrounding this case and where do they get a new video where do they go there's probably not one town in the country that's never heard of lindsey clancy the defense is seeking an all outright dismissal and has raised the double jeopardy arguments the prosecution has argued the defense's public comments created what is called a carnival atmosphere that is an understatement a possible gag order issued and records concerning the holdout juror expected to be addressed so the gag order has been filed but the judge has not decided on the gag order

[13:37] but kevin reddington lindsey clancy's attorney was awful quiet today

[13:42] as he left the courtroom there's also a striking contradiction in the public messaging during the trial the defense argued the acts occurred but claimed lindsey clancy was not criminally responsible because solely because of her mental state now according to reports from the hearing the defense has also argued that there's no proof she committed the acts at all he said where is the evidence watch the difference between the defense presented at trial and the argument now floating publicly during trial the defense focused on during the trial the defense focused on criminal responsibility i know it's a war words it's a laugh they're redefining everything but the defense's defense was focused on criminal responsibility stating stating that Lindsay Clancy didn't have criminal responsibility in the killing of her children. Now critics say the public argument is shifting toward whether or not the acts happened at all. The court will decide which arguments are legally viable, but the public deserves clarity.

[14:47] Then Reddington said, I'm not ever going to agree. Not ever going to agree with what, Kevin? All I know is that I'm not going to ever agree that this young lady do a day in jail. He said he's never going to let this young lady do a day in jail. She killed all three of her children. She deserves more than all of the days of her life in jail. She deserves an execution. Chair, her children are dead. She should be dead too. A public execution carried out by the state. They don't do, they don't do executions or the death penalty in Massachusetts anymore. They should, especially for this one.

[15:19] That's a powerful declaration from a defense attorney. He's not going to let her do another day in jail, but it also raises a question. Where's the same urgency for the three children who will never get another day in jail? They'll never have another birthday, another Christmas, another chance to grow up. They'll never kiss their father and tell them and tell them that they love him.

[15:40] A defense attorney's job is to advocate for his client. That's not in dispute, but advocacy cannot require the public to forget the victims. And that's exactly what's happened. And it can't transform every person who disagrees with the defense into an enemy of justice. That's what they've turned the lone juror into. Look at the lone juror. I know the whole focus has been on me, but we want to reel everything back and put the focus on the three angels that's at hand. Watch this. Every comment I have made has been in reaction to people from Donald Trump on down to Nancy Mace down to Cruz, not the DA, but the politician calling for her execution. I have responded to these outlandish comments, including the guy from Houston. I just want to. Kevin Reddington criticized me for calling for the harshest possible punishment known to man for the murder of your children.

[16:42] I think it should be an execution. I think it should be public. I think it should be used as a deterrent so that no other mom kills her kids.

[16:51] Reddington says, I've never seen the evidence, never sat in the courtroom, have no authority to call for an execution. The legal point is straightforward. Public statements don't determine a sentence. It is my opinion. And Kevin, I'm allowed to have an opinion according to the First Amendment. I'm not gagged by your case either. And if I want to draft legislation that makes this sort of thing, the death penalty at the federal level, I can do that. The court must decide the case under Massachusetts law, which is not federal law, Kevin. That's state law. You should have learned this in law school 101. And Lindsay Clancy remains entitled to due process. But Kevin Reddington did not keep the matter entirely inside the courtroom. He went public. He went very public. Press conferences every day at the courthouse. He responded to politicians and commenters. He did interviews. He went on a media tour, a national media tour, making headlines after the mistrial. One of the first headlines was he

[17:54] wanted a federal pardon for his client from President Trump in a state case. Again, Kevin, I'm not an attorney. I don't give legal advice, but I know law school 101, that is not a thing. I'm not an attorney. I don't give legal advice. You can't give a federal pardon to somebody in a state case. He sought the national stage. He sought national attention. He also publicly sought a federal pardon in that state case, a request raising serious legal questions about federal clemency authority, which the federal government has none. In this clip, Reddington says his public remarks were reactions to people, including President Trump, Senator Cruz, and me.

[18:35] But responding to criticism isn't a requirement of the job, Kevin. You don't have to to be an attorney, to be an effective attorney.

[18:44] Responding to criticism doesn't erase the fact that Kevin Reddington chose to enter the public conversation. He did that on his own. I didn't make him do it. I didn't put a gun to his head to publicly comment on the case. He did it to himself. Kevin, this is the big leagues now. Put on your big boy pants and get moving or get out of the way. Kevin Reddington defended a killer, and I'm calling for the execution of that killer. I appreciated the shout out, but we're not the same, Kevin. This is a political argument in one sentence. Reddington is defending a client. I'm defending the children. I'm defending justice. I'm demanding the harshest punishment possible if the facts and the law support it. They aren't performing the same role, and Kevin, you and I are not the same people. We have a different moral compass. The case has not resulted in a final conviction. The legally careful formulation is that the, quote, woman accused of killing her children, end quote, or if convicted, and the distinction matters.

[19:44] But let's move on to the lone juror. The jury deadlocked 11 to 1 mistrial. The lone juror became a public target, and reports indicate that he and his wife faced doxing threats, serious disruption, and a serious disruption to their lives. People are allowed to disagree with this decision. The question is whether a juror should face intimidation for refusing to follow the majority. No, they should not. A jury is not supposed to be a political movement. Jurors are not supposed to vote according to public pressure. They're supposed to examine the evidence, deliberate and reach an honest-to-God conclusion. And Michael Desronville, the lone juror, did that.

[20:26] He said he wants to put the focus on the lone, on the three children, the ones who can't speak for themselves. Notice what he did when he finally spoke publicly. He didn't center

[20:37] the story on himself. He centered the story on the children, the dead children. He didn't make the moment about revenge she didn't do it out of anger he redirected the tension to the three children who can't speak for themselves the children who cannot testify who cannot hire an attorney who cannot go on television who cannot explain their side of the story and why their mom might have done this the lone juror reminded the public of the most important fact in this entire case that three children are dead and

[21:08] the public reaction has become increasingly divided some commentators have attacked the juror others have defended him some have turned the case into a broader argument about women mental illness marriage and criminal responsibility and why by god why did the husband leave the wife so soon because all of his kids were dead that's why and she killed them some commentators have argued the juror was unfairly targeted by other jurors or by the media watch the original clip and decide for yourself what was actually said we should not repeat fair paraphrases as direct quotes another

[21:41] commentator raised a racial comparison involving the mental illness defense again we're showing the original words rather than relying on a paraphrase the comparison may be part of the public debate but it does not should not displace the central facts of this case lindsay clancy killed her kids the mental illness is an explanation of it it's not the excuse and that is the difference or post demanding the repeal of the 19th amendment those comments generate attention to my comments have generated attention we need to make sure that we advance justice even with our comments they turned three dead kids into fuel for a culture war and maybe this is a culture war worth having because if you kill your children you should be killed too and there's a there's a disturbing double standard in the way the public has treated patrick clancy if a mother lost her children to a man accused of killing them would a television host ask why she didn't stay married to him would anyone should suggest that she owed him her husband lifelong loyalty no they would not would anyone criticize the wife for rebuilding her life of course not

[22:48] forgiveness is not the same as reconciliation and mental illness is real grief is real accountability is real the right to heal is real and the right to heal is patrick clancy's right he doesn't owe the public a lifetime chain to the person accused of destroying his family and killing his kids men are not setting women back by demanding equal accountability i argue it's the women that are holding women back now because of the lindsay clancy trial the nine woke liberal white women jurors

[23:20] double standards are getting in the way of progress for women by god and these feminists are on the wrong side of history there are two separate questions here the legal question is whether the prosecution can prove its case in the environment that we're in now it is a circus and how the court should evaluate mental illness intent and responsibility the moral question is whether the children will be remembered or whether they will disappear behind a public campaign centered on the accused which i believe has already happened the legal system must follow the court's guidance the public should avoid declaring a defendant guilty before a lawful verdict yes however she killed her kids but avoiding a premature legal conclusion does not mean avoiding moral clarity it does not mean pretending that children are a footnote it does not mean attacking the fathers for trying to heal it does not mean threatening a juror for following his conscience the man the juror michael is

[24:15] in hiding it doesn't mean allowing the loudest voices in the case to drown out others

[24:24] or drown out the kids who can know on the ground or speak the

[24:28] defense is entitled to defend its client the prosecution is entitled to prosecute its case a defense attorney can argue mental illness without erasing the children a politician can demand accountability without deciding the verdict a juror can disagree with the majority without becoming a villain and a grieving father can forgive without remaining trapped in his marriage three children are dead their mother killed them their father is grieving one juror held the line the most important person in the story isn't the loudest attorney isn't the most viral commentator the loudest tweet or the politician receiving the most criticism or the biggest microphone it's the three children who can no longer speak for themselves that's cora that's dawson that's kallen they deserve to be remembered for who they were not reduced to a talking point an argument about their mother their father the politics surrounding the case we all need to remember patrick clancy's children this has been get mazed subscribe share the focus on the facts accountability and the children can no longer speak for themselves because their mother took their voices away forever
