Reddington tells CBS Mornings that motion is, in part, motivated by the alleged actions of a juror who ignored the judge’s instructions on the law.
Could this verdict be considered as a reverse, jury nullification?

It is unconscionable our MSM will celebrate a woman that kills her own children. This attorney lost the case. The 4 jurors who have offered information are even at odds with their recollections.
The woman murdered her children!!
The woman murdered her children!!

When was the last time she wasn't disappointed or sad?

What about the motivation of the three harpies that appear to have also ignored the judge's instructions (per #4 interviewed by CBS)?

what are your thoughts on motive? i fully believe she killed the kids and that she was not in a psychotic break from reality, but i still dont understand why.

Defense attorney also threw a big bucket of cold water on the mommy sleuths thinking Patrick Clancy was a part of the murder plot.
People are fricking idiots and make up their own fan fiction on some of these cases. The fact that she used the insanity plea in the first place means that she herself admits she did the crime.

Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy J. Cruz (often called Tim Cruz) decides whether to retry Lindsay Clancy after the recent mistrial; the trial judge (William Sullivan) controls courtroom conduct and can address attorney behavior directly, but formal professional sanctions go through other channels.
wbur.org
Key roles and powers in the Clancy caseDA Timothy Cruz (Plymouth County): His office prosecuted the case (with Assistant District Attorneys Jennifer Sprague and Shanan Buckingham handling much of the trial work). After the hung jury/mistrial declared by Judge Sullivan on or around September 4–5, 2026, Cruz decides whether to seek a retrial on the first-degree murder charges (or pursue lesser options, a plea, or drop the case). He has publicly indicated the decision is pending (with a status hearing later in September) and has emphasized the victims while defending the original charges. The defense (Kevin Reddington) has urged against a retrial.
theguardian.com
Judge William Sullivan (Plymouth Superior Court): He presided over the trial, managed the jury (including handling deadlock notes and a defense effort to remove a purported holdout juror), and declared the mistrial after deliberations failed and an emergency appeal to the Supreme Judicial Court was denied. He controls the courtroom. He can:Issue warnings, reprimands, or hold an attorney in contempt for disruptive, disrespectful, or improper behavior during proceedings.
Impose other case-related sanctions (e.g., related to filings or conduct that prejudices the process).
Refer serious ethics issues to Bar Counsel/the Board of Bar Overseers (BBO).
There are reports of heated exchanges between Sullivan and defense attorney Kevin Reddington (e.g., over jury instructions, sidebars, or the holdout juror), with Reddington displaying a dramatic/assertive style that some media have highlighted. Sullivan has pushed back in open court (e.g., noting he is “not an actor”). No public reports indicate a formal contempt finding or citation against Reddington for “showboating” so far.
nbcboston.com
Who can formally “sanction” an attorney (including for alleged showboating): The judge can address immediate courtroom issues via contempt or other orders.
Broader professional discipline (reprimand, suspension, etc.) is handled by the Massachusetts Board of Bar Overseers (BBO) after a complaint to Bar Counsel. Anyone (including a DA’s office, opposing counsel, or the judge) can file a complaint. Purely theatrical advocacy is rarely sanctioned by itself unless it crosses into violations of the Rules of Professional Conduct (e.g., disrupting proceedings, misleading the court, or other misconduct).
Appellate courts or the SJC can review related issues on appeal.
Reddington (sometimes nicknamed “Shreddington” in social media coverage) is a veteran high-profile defense lawyer known for an aggressive, media-visible style. Post-mistrial comments criticizing the holdout juror and the DA have drawn criticism in some outlets, but no formal sanction process has been publicly initiated against him on those grounds.
nypost.com
In short: Cruz controls the decision on whether the case continues (retry or not). Sullivan can cite or sanction courtroom behavior by the defense lawyer if it crosses the line during proceedings. Formal bar discipline is separate and handled by the BBO process. A status hearing is expected later in September 2026 regarding next steps.

Hey dude, your whole defense is, she kills people when she’s sad. I am not sure I would be throwing that word around like that.

Having the "sads" is not the same as post-partum psychosis, which involves hormone disruption and real physiological changes which impair brain function. She was not aware of her actions during the tragedy

“Having the "sads" is not the same as post-partum psychosis, which involves hormone disruption and real physiological changes which impair brain function. She was not aware of her actions during the tragedy”
But she was aware enough to get the husband out of the house ….i wonder why ??
She obviously knew he would stop her if he saw or heard what was going on
Her ability to rationalize that trying to kill her kids in front of her husband could disrupt her plans is prima facia evidence that she was in complete rational state of mind as to wrong and right.

Your mangina is just oozing "sads" 24/7. I suspect that it's due to your impaired brain function from being a liberal retard.

You don’t believe that. Her actions required extended planning and took more than half an hour to enact.
That isn’t momentary psychosis.
She’s an evil bitch and you’re a gullible moron.

The one juror who said "he wouldn't get past the fact she brutally murdered her children" says it all for the mentality of the lunatic women on the juror. The holdout sounds like the only truly sane person on the jury.

Which instructions did the juror supposedly ignore?
