Lindsay Clancy’s ex-husband, Patrick Clancy, says he has forgiven her for killing their three young children in his first televised interview since her murder trial collapses. He discusses his feelings and grief in an interview carried by CBS News, according to BBC and other reports.
The case involves the deaths of their children—Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months. Clancy’s trial ends without a verdict after the jury cannot reach unanimity, with outlets describing the outcome as a mistrial. Multiple reports say Clancy also uses the interview to describe moving forward, including planning a new family with his second wife, Rachel Denis.
Outlets differ mainly in emphasis. The BBC focuses on his explanation and grief; Sky and The Independent highlight that the interview is his first televised appearance since the mistrial; other outlets add details such as his intention to start a family. Some reports also mention characterizations of mental illness, reflecting their framing rather than a change in the basic court outcome.
