Kevin Reddington, the attorney representing Lindsay Clancy, has gone directly to Donald Trump asking for a pardon in his very first interview since her murder case wrapped up with a mistrial. On Tuesday morning, Reddington kept his head bowed as he humbly addressed the camera and pleaded with the President to spare Clancy.

The plea came during an appearance on Good Morning America when reporter George Stephanopoulos asked what comes next for the woman accused of killing her children. Reddington responded by saying that perhaps Donald Trump, who felt compelled to speak out about this specific case, might reconsider his stance. Mr President, he said in a direct appeal, I hope that you would consider this young lady, the type of person she is, what she's been through, and consider a pardon.

This request arrives just days after Trump addressed the Massachusetts mom's murder trial directly while speaking at the White House on Friday. The President called it a shame and a horrible tragedy. He noted that he sees what happened and concluded it looks like a hung jury. I think the judge has said it's going to be a mistrial, so there's going to be another trial. It's a terrible situation, Trump added. Look, she did a horrible, horrible thing. Can't be worse. But you'll find out what the price to pay is. There'll be a price. It's going to be mental institution or jail or something, but I guess they're going to go through another trial.

Clancy, 36, faces a retrial after a jury of nine women and three men were unable to agree on whether she was guilty of the murders or manslaughter. Reddington also described her as being intelligent and hardworking while highlighting the strong bond he shares with Clancy. I do feel a very strong bond with Lindsay because of the type of person she is, he stated. She's such a wonderful, wonderful person.

Stephanopoulos then questioned the lawyer about his remarks at the end of the trial where Reddington said he crushed the defense and asked if he regretted those words. He answered without hesitation: I don't regret saying it at all. I think that the defense was very strong and I think it went in very well. He admitted, however, that perhaps he could have been a little more circumspect dealing with prosecutor Tim Cruz instead of saying he crushed him. Instead of saying I crushed him, I could have said I did a good job.

Reddington then opened the door to negotiation, stating he was willing to listen to Tim Cruz and considering a deal so Clancy did not need to go through another trial. I've known Tim for 30 years. The situation remains tense as everyone waits to see if a resolution can be found before a second trial begins.

Judge William Sullivan ended the trial at Plymouth Superior Court on Friday afternoon by declaring a mistrial. The former nurse, Clancy, stood accused of strangling her children with exercise bands while denying that those acts were murder. She claims she was overmedicated during postpartum depression and that the drug cocktail triggered psychosis. Reddington admitted he knew little about this condition before stepping into the case for Clancy.

The jury spent more than 37 hours debating five-and-a-half weeks of evidence. Eleven jurors leaned toward a not guilty by reason of insanity verdict, but one holdout refused to agree late Thursday and early Friday. Reddington asked for an emergency order to push them back into a final round of talks, yet the effort failed.

In the chaos following the killings, Clancy tried to jump out the upstairs window of the home she shared with ex-husband Patrick Clancy. That suicide attempt did not succeed but left her paralyzed and permanently confined to a wheelchair. The legal battle has now paused, leaving questions about how both sides will move forward. Reddington expressed hope that after this trial, he would revisit the issue so they could work something out acceptable for everyone involved.
