The Clancy Trial: When “Twelve Angry Men” Becomes One Angry Man

“‘I hope that guy can sleep well at night.’ Those words from Kevin Reddington on the steps of the Plymouth, Massachusetts Courthouse were part of a diatribe against the ‘guy’ who was reportedly the sole holdout in the Lindsay Clancy trial. The scene was a fitting end to a visceral trial, but it added a vindictive element that should prompt Judge William Sullivan to call out the seasoned defense attorney. After declaring that the 11-1 mistrial was ‘no time to gloat’, Reddington bragged repeatedly about ‘crushing’ District Attorney Tim Cruz, whom he also attacked. He insisted that, in the trial, no one said a single negative thing about his client as a mother — ignoring that little matter of the three young children whom she had strangled to death, one by one. But it was his attack on the holdout juror that was a breathtaking abandonment of restraint and decency.” (09/07/26)
