U.S. President Donald Trump has blasted Lindsay Clancy’s killing of her three young children after judge’s decision to declare a mistrial.
Weighing in for the first time on the legal battle that has captured national attention, Trump said: ‘It’s a shame. It’s a horrible tragedy. I see what’s happened and it looks like it’s a hung jury.
‘I think the judge has said it’s going to be a mistrial, so there’s going to be another trial.
‘It’s a terrible situation. Look, she did a horrible, horrible thing.
Speaking at the White House Friday, he continued: ‘Can’t be worse. But you’ll find out what the price to pay is. There’ll be a price. It’s going to be mental institution or jail or something, but I guess they’re going to go through another trial.’
Clancy, 36, faces a retrial after a jury of nine women and three men were unable to agree on whether she was guilty of the murders or manslaughter of Cora, five, Dawson, three and 18-month-old Callan in Duxbury, Massachusetts, in January 2023.
Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial at Plymouth Superior Court on Friday afternoon.
