Patrick Clancy speaks out after hung jury in Lindsay Clancy case, addresses prospect of another trial

Patrick Clancy broke his silence after a mistrial was declared in Lindsay Clancys case, saying the prospect of enduring another trial over the killings of their three children is "extraordinarily painful."

"Patrick Clancy is grateful to the Court and to the jurors for their hard work, their commitment, and their perseverance. The loss of Patricks children is something from which he will never recover and from which there will never be closure," his attorney, David Meier, wrote in a statement issued on Patrick's behalf.

"The prospect of reliving this tragedy through another trial is extraordinarily painful — for Patrick, for his family, and for all us," the statement concluded.

Patrick Clancy has previously asked the public to forgive his ex-wife, who has admitted killing their three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and 8-month-old Callan. Her attorneys have argued she was legally insane due to postpartum psychosis.

During the trial, Patrick Clancy testified about the day of the killings on Jan. 24, 2023. The children were killed while he was running errands that included picking up children's stool softener at a CVS store and takeout for dinner. They spoke on the phone while he was out.

On Friday afternoon, Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial in the high-profile murder case after jurors said they were unable to reach a unanimous verdict. It will now be up to prosecutors whether Clancy will be tried again.

The jury spent a week deliberating at Plymouth Superior Court in Plymouth, Massachusetts, where supporters and onlookers gathered outside for days awaiting a possible verdict.

The mistrial followed an alleged 11-1 divide among jurors, with Clancys defense arguing that the lone holdout juror had acknowledged doubt but was refusing to properly apply the courts instructions on reasonable doubt.

The alleged holdout is believed to be one of the three male jurors. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington repeatedly referred to the unnamed juror as a male inside and outside court.

Clancys attorneys made an emergency appeal to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court in an attempt to stay the mistrial and force further inquiry into the juror.

Justice Dalila Argaez Wendlandt denied the request Friday afternoon, and shortly after, Sullivan declared a mistrial.

Sullivan said he wants the case retried "sooner rather than later,", suggesting a new trial could potentially take place later this fall. Clancy is due back in court Sept. 29 for a status hearing, trial assignment and a defense Rule 25 motion.
