Trump Rejects Clancy Pardon Plea, Citing State Jurisdiction
Trump said the case is state-level and outside his clemency power as Clancy faces a possible retrial in her children’s killings.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump declined to intervene in the Lindsay Clancy murder case, stating the matter is "actually a state situation, not a federal" one. Trump noted there is "no win no matter what" because "three children are dead."
- Clancy, a 36-year-old former nurse accused of murdering her three children in 2023, faces a potential retrial after jurors deadlocked earlier this month. Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial following defense arguments of postpartum psychosis.
- Last week, defense attorney Kevin Reddington publicly requested a pardon for Clancy on 'Good Morning America,' citing her background and struggles. Reddington urged clemency, prompting Trump's response regarding his lack of authority over state-level prosecutions.
- Trump dismissed the request, remarking that "there's no winner there." He previously suggested during an Oval Office event that Clancy would "ultimately pay" for the deaths, whether through jail or a mental institution.
- Plymouth District Attorney Timothy Cruz has not yet decided whether to retry the case, and Judge Sullivan scheduled a status hearing for September 29 at 9 a.m. to determine next legal steps. A retrial could begin as early as this fall.
