Lindsay Clancy's attorney says he is prepared to ask that the court dismiss the case against the Duxbury mother accused of murdering her three children, as more jurors speak out after the mistrial.

Continuing his post-trial appearances on national television, Kevin Reddington has said he will request that the case be thrown out when both sides convene for a status hearing at Plymouth Superior Court on Sept. 29.

 It will be a motion to dismiss based on what's called double jeopardy grounds, because there's no … manifest necessity,  Reddington told  CBS Mornings  on Wednesday.  You have to have a manifest necessity to declare a mistrial for obvious reasons - the invested time that the jurors put into it, the court, the staff, the defendant, the prosecution, everybody. 

The appearance on CBS followed a Good Morning America segment on Tuesday, when Reddington appealed to President Trump to pardon his client, even though it's outside the president's jurisdiction.

Reddington argues that manifest necessity doesn't apply to Judge William Sullivan's mistrial declaration because of reports surrounding a lone juror who apparently held out from acquitting Clancy and refused to apply reasonable doubt.

This comes as some members of the 12-person jury - nine women and three men - have spoken out about what deliberations looked like after the weeks-long trial, detailing their arguments with the holdout juror, reportedly a man.

One member, a woman referred to as  juror five,  who has spoken on condition of anonymity, told WBZ that the lone holdout  was not the only one that was unwilling to see things from the other side. 

The unnamed woman said she initially sided with the prosecution that Clancy was guilty and criminally responsible for the deaths of her three children, Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, in January 2023.

The woman added that she changed her mind because the prosecution  didn't have a figurative smoking gun  to prove their case, ultimately siding with Reddington's argument that Clancy was suffering from postpartum psychosis and wasn't criminally responsible for the deaths.
