New York, New York - Lindsay Clancy's defense attorney has publicly pleaded for President Donald Trump to pardon his client after her closely watched murder trial ended in a mistrial.

Clancy's attorney, Kevin Reddington, appeared on Good Morning America on Tuesday to speak about the case that has garnered nationwide attention.

Reddington directly called on the president to pardon Clancy after Trump commented on the case following Friday's mistrial decision.

"I'd like to say that perhaps Donald Trump, who felt compelled to speak out on this case. Mr. President, I would hope that you would consider this young lady," Reddington said.

"The type of person she is, what she has been through, and consider a pardon."

Clancy's murder trial, which centered around the 2023 killings of her three children, ended in a mistrial due to a hung jury.

The 36-year-old has admitted to the killings but pleaded not guilty, arguing that she is not criminally responsible due to extreme postpartum psychosis. If her defense succeeded, Clancy would have been committed to a psychiatric facility rather than being sent to prison.

On Friday, Trump was asked about the trial, telling reporters that it was "hard not to follow it," given the widespread media attention.

The president said Clancy "did a horrible, horrible thing," but didn't side with a particular verdict, adding, "There'll be a price. It's going to be mental institution or jail or something."

As for whether Trump could actually pardon Clancy, experts noted that the case against her is on the state level, and the president is only able to pardon those who have been accused or convicted of a federal crime.

However, Reddington acknowledged this in a subsequent interview and shed light on why he made the public plea.

Speaking with WBZ-TV reporter Kristina Rex, Reddington said he "knew" that Clancy could not be directly pardoned by the president.

"The goal is pretty simple – it's to seek help from Trump," he explained.

"If President Trump feels that this is a case that warrants that type of intervention from the executive branch, if you will, even though legally it's not a federal case, he certainly has an awful lot of clout."

Reddington said that Trump could potentially reach out to fellow Republican Tim Cruz, who is the Plymouth County District Attorney and is responsible for bringing the state charges against Lindsay.

After seven days of deliberation, the jury remained deadlocked on Friday, leading Judge William Sullivan to declare a mistrial.

This means that prosecutors now have to decide whether to retry Clancy.

Reddington claimed after the mistrial declaration that Cruz "doesn't have a case" and that the DA and prosecutors were "crushed" during the trial, as the jury was 11-1 for an acquittal.

Clancy is slated to return to court on September 29 for a status hearing.
