Lindsay Clancy’s lawyer, Kevin Reddington, asks President Trump to consider pardoning her after her murder trial ends in a mistrial last week. In early Tuesday remarks, Reddington says he is making a direct appeal to the president following the court’s decision.
The outlets report that Reddington speaks publicly for the first time since the trial was declared a mistrial. Coverage emphasizes that he frames the request as an attempt to seek a resolution after the proceedings do not reach a verdict. While the reports use different wording—describing the appeal as a “plea,” “begs,” and “breaks silence”— they consistently present the same core facts: the trial results in a mistrial and the defense then turns to Trump with a pardon request. None of the articles provide new information about the underlying charges, the reasons for the mistrial, or any response from the president.
