District Atty: No Decision Made Today About Clancy Retrial; Judge Declares Mistrial in Lindsay Clancy Case; Clancy's Defense Attorney Speaks After Mistrial. Aired 3-3:30p ET

Aired September 04, 2026 - 15:00   ET

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.

BRIANNA KEILAR, CNN HOST: He said something -- this is, you know, this is a case that has garnered so much attention, Jean, and he addressed that. He said, though this case is not about the health care system, he said it's not about how women are treated. He did say those are important things to discuss, essentially that's what he said. The thing, Jean, is that for all of these people watching, and for how big this trial has gotten, it's because this case is about those issues to those people.

JEAN CASAREZ, CNN CORRESPONDENT: True, but the evidence is the evidence, and the defense in their case made it a central issue. The postpartum, depression, anxiety, morphing into bipolar, morphing into psychosis, the defense say that the prosecution's theory is you've got to look at the actions of this woman.

You know, the psychosis is a very internal thing. There was nothing on January 24th that showed she had psychosis. She went about her day, and Patrick Clancy said it was one of her best days ever. So, the prosecution is focusing in on her actions on that day, a few days before, a week before, two weeks before. That's what they believe is important in proving what her mental state was on that day.

You know, the one thing that -- this is the first time, we've got to tell everybody, this is the first time that we are hearing from anyone associated with the prosecution, because during the trial, prosecutors are told to not speak. You don't see them coming out in the courtyard and talking to people during the case. They remain silent because they are the prosecutors.

Now, we have the elected district attorney coming out to focus on something that has sort of been forgotten in -- with many, the children. And he said, as he began his comments, that is why we are prosecuting this case, because we stand for the victims, the victims of crime. And -- and several times talking about Cora and Dawson and the youngest child, who was eight months here -- eight months.

And so, the first time we've heard that -- that theory, the prosecution theory, in quite a while, because the people that are in the courtyard, you -- you heard them. They were defiant with the district attorney right now. They very much are in the camp of Lindsay Clancy, no question about it. Anyone who was in the camp of the prosecution, they have not come to this courthouse.

BORIS SANCHEZ, CNN HOST: Jean, please stand by. As you were saying, the DA was speaking and several, I guess, advocates for Lindsay Clancy were yelling as he was talking, describing him as -- as corrupt, as he was saying that, in his eyes, there's not a decision that's been made yet about a retrial, but that this is about getting justice for those three children.

We're joined now by Dave Aronberg, and Areva Martin and Judge Diane Kiesel are still with us.

First to you, Dave, the DA was asked how he would manage to get an impartial jury. Given the amount of attention that this case has received, he said, we'll do what we always do to go through the court system. He also said he didn't know if they would consider moving venues. He said he wasn't sure if -- if that would have an effect.

Let's actually listen now to Clancy's civil attorney, who is speaking to the press. Let's listen.

ROSEMARY SCAPICCHIO, LINDSAY CLANCY CIVIL ATTORNEY: ... Lindsay, time and time and time again, and that's what's going to happen in the trial that we have. But for right now, she has to go to a second trial because of their negligence, and -- and it's devastating. It's devastating to her. It's devastating to her family. This -- this is a nightmare that's never going to end. And everybody has to understand, you know, Lindsay wakes up every day, and -- and the first thing she thinks of is her kids, every single solitary day. And that doesn't go away. Whether this trial happens or another trial happens, that doesn't go away, ever. And -- and we need to make things right.

We need to make sure that -- that when there is postpartum or -- or maternal mental health, that these doctors start listening to women, because that's not what they're doing right now. And they're doing a disservice to the entire population of women that need care after they have a child. And -- and it's so infuriating that not only do they not get care, but let's just talk about the -- the names that they label, women that are either depressed or have hormonal imbalances. They call them baby blues.

Do you think for a second, if a man had an erectile dysfunction, they'd be calling it penis blues? No, because it minimizes what you're suffering from. And -- and we're here to change that on behalf of Lindsay. (INAUDIBLE) ...

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Can you talk to us about how she's doing in terms of ...

SCAPICCHIO: I can't. That's Kevin. Kevin -- Kevin will talk to you.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Rosemary, can both things be true that she was failed by the mental health system and her doctors, but that she's also criminally responsible.

SCAPICCHIO: I don't believe she's criminally responsible, but that's Kevin's issue, not mine.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: (INAUDIBLE) you were just with her in there. You've been with her all day (INAUDIBLE) right now. SCAPICCHIO: Kevin, I'm not talking about that.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: How aware she is -- is she -- how aware is she of what's going on?

SCAPICCHIO: Of course, she's aware.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Okay.

SCAPICCHIO: She just went through a whole trial.

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: (INAUDIBLE) affect your civil trial?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I'm sorry. I didn't hear the question.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Is -- is the need for a potential second criminal trial here, how does that impact our civil trial?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Well, our civil trial is going to take a little longer than the -- than the criminal trial, which hopefully will be coming quickly.

[15:05:06]

And Lindsay will be resolved hopefully in the ...

SCAPICCHIO: Before the fall.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: ... in the criminal trial, and that will be before the fall. Ours is going to go on, but we expect and we'll continue to be pointing out the failures of the medical system, how it's failed women, as Rosemary said, and how it's failed Lindsay and caused us all to be here for the past weeks and the tragedy that happened years ago.

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: (INAUDIBLE) lawsuit, is that right?

SCAPICCHIO: I'm -- I'm not talking (INAUDIBLE) ...

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Many of the doctors that you saw here to testify, many of the doctors, the complainers on file, you'll see many of the doctors (INAUDIBLE) Tufts (ph), all those doctors that were treating her, that let her go, let her -- let her go without treatment, over- prescribed and mis-prescribed drugs as alleged in the complaint, it's -- it's all going to be brought out and it's brought out somewhat here and it's going to be brought out more in the civil case as to the poor medicine that she received and the failures that occurred that let her down, let her family down and obviously caused the tragedy that we're facing here today.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Thank you, sir.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Thank you. (CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Sir, can you spell your name for us?

KEILAR: We understand that police have just escorted a few of the jurors out the back of the courthouse there in Plymouth as we were listening there to civil attorneys for Lindsay Clancy.

The thing to know here is that Lindsay Clancy and her ex-husband Patrick have filed lawsuits. He's filed a wrongful death lawsuit against her providers. She has a civil lawsuit as well against her health care providers because at the heart of this there are allegations that they failed her. She was obviously -- we heard this throughout the trial, there were so many medications that she was on as she progressed in what appeared to be a mental illness, a lot of -- obviously, that was the heart of so much of the testimony, but that was her civil attorney. You could see Rosemary Scapicchio who was sort of pushing some of the questions that her criminal attorney is going to have to answer because obviously these are two very different things.

SANCHEZ: Yes, she -- she declined to even answer how Lindsay was doing after learning that after weeks of deliberation -- or hours of deliberation, weeks of a trial that ultimately it would lead to a mistrial and potentially a retrial.

Let's go back to our panel of experts. Dave Aronberg, before we heard from her civil defense attorney, I was asking you about what the DA said regarding the chances of a retrial, the chances of a new jury being impaneled that is impartial in this case, even the chances of -- of a potential change in venue. What are your thoughts on -- on those angles?

DAVE ARONBERG, FORMER STATE ATTORNEY of PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA: Boris, first I want to praise Tim Cruz. I know him back in my days as state attorney. He was the head, the president of the National District Attorney's Association. So, he had the respect of everyone within the association. He's also, interestingly, the only Republican- elected DA in all of Massachusetts. So, he's been there for years because people on both sides of the aisle seem to like the job that he's doing.

Now -- and I agree with him that you could get a jury for just about any case. I mean, after all, President Trump was put on trial in Manhattan. He's quite a polarizing individual himself. So, even though jurors may know about the case and have drawn some conclusions, as long as they pledge under oath to put aside their biases, put aside everything they know, and just follow the evidence in the law, you can get a fair jury anywhere. But I do think that just to be safe, you may want to move it outside of Plymouth County to another county in Massachusetts. But still, I mean, the whole world's talking about this case right now.

And I think in the end, it will be unlikely that there will be a second trial if indeed the final vote was 11 to 1 in favor of an acquittal on all counts. KEILAR: You think it will be unlikely?

ARONBERG: I think that if it's 11 to 1, that the DA and the defense lawyer will meet and reach some sort of agreement so that she does not walk out. That it'll be a mental hospital, be some sort of agreement. Because who wants to go through this whole thing again, especially when you were this close to getting an acquittal? Why would -- you as a prosecutor -- want to do it all over again and take another beating?

KEILAR: Okay. Well, so let me ask you about that, because on one hand -- he's -- he did sort of on one hand say, listen, we don't know exactly where they were. Because it's true. You have to extrapolate some. And certainly the defense attorney did that they were 11 to 1 to acquit Lindsay Clancy. But we're still waiting to hear, right? We still have some details that we would certainly like to hear from the jurors.

He also said this, though, Dave. This case was about Lindsay Clancy, what she did, the cruel and calculated killing of three innocents. I mean, should we not read too much into that? Because that doesn't sound like someone who's opening the door to a plea deal here. I don't know. What do you think?

[15:10:04]

ARONBERG: Well, that's why they didn't just charge the lesser count of involuntary manslaughter, but went ahead with first degree murder charges, something that they were very unlikely to get. But now that you've seen 11 to 1, it's an ethical duty of a prosecutor only to pursue charges when you have a good faith belief you can get a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt.

And if you don't think you can get a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt, if you have those reasonable doubts about it, then -- then you should not move forward with the case. And right now, he doesn't want to lose his leverage. He -- he wants to say, yes, we're going to go forward. We have a hearing at the end of September, and we haven't made up our minds, but, you know, this is a just cause. I think it is a just cause, but in the end, you've got to look reality in the face. And if you can't get anything more than 11 to 1 against you, I think it's time for a plea agreement.

SANCHEZ: Dave, please stand by. Let's bring in Judge John E. Jones III, who has been standing by.

Judge, much has been made about the actions of William Sullivan, the judge overseeing this case. First, I'm -- I'm curious to get your thoughts on his handling of the case overall, and specifically the way that he responded to the defense trying to argue that he wasn't strict enough with this holdout juror and -- and the argument from the defense that he should have been more forceful in trying to get that juror to, in their eyes, in the eyes of the defense, comply with the law.

JOHN E. JONES III, FORMER U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE, PENNSYLVANIA: Boris, I think, you know, for a judge, there's no real manual that covers every situation that you can encounter during a criminal trial. And -- and this is of a kind, but making the call that he did that allowed the interim appeal was pretty unique. Twenty years in the federal bench, I never saw that.

I think, in the end, it -- it's pretty clear that the judge erred on the side of deliberative privilege, the sanctity of the deliberations in the jury room. And he didn't want to put that one juror on the spot any more than having the jury assembled in -- in public, in the jury room, and asking them all if they could comply with his instructions on reasonable doubt.

It's a tough call, you know, for a judge to make. But I can't say, based on what I can see, that he made the wrong call under the circumstances.

KEILAR: Judge Diane Kiesel, I want to ask you as we -- more on Judge Sullivan -- as he turned to the jury at the end there, and he quoted Winston Churchill from his finest hour speech, which, of course, was something he delivered before the British Parliament as he was rallying Britain against the Nazis, but he just gave them a lot of credit, which was the point. Churchill had said, let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties. And he was giving the jury so much credit for coming, showing up every day, being willing at the beginning to partake in what was going to be such a long and involved endeavor. And he really wanted to thank them for that. But it's interesting, because our producer inside the courtroom reports back, and our Jean Casarez reported this, that one of the jurors, she was shaking her head as the judge was saying this. Another one of the jurors kind of holding her hands into fists, Jean told us. I wonder what you think, knowing kind of that picture of that visual as he was delivering that to the jury.

DIANE KIESEL, NEW YORK SUPREME COURT JUDGE (Retired): Well, first of all, the judge did the absolute right thing in that regard. Jury duty is the most important work of a citizen. And let me tell you, it's the work most citizens try their hardest not to do. It's grueling. It's -- it is -- it is daunting. These people hold, especially in a criminal case, obviously, the -- the liberty and the fate of someone in their hands.

It had to be hard for the judge to be giving this thank you very much speech, which was the appropriate thing to do, and reading or trying to read the body language of what, to me, seemed like jurors that were just spent. They were exhausted. They worked so hard. And those who did not want to see this woman convicted were probably disappointed and disgusted. But this is part of our jury system. And, you know, this is the way it should end if there is not an agreement by 12 people.

SANCHEZ: And we are awaiting to potentially hear from Kevin Reddington, Lindsay Clancy's criminal defense attorney. He has spoken repeatedly to the media. So, what you're seeing there is a podium full of microphones and press. He -- he is right now the only attorney we haven't heard from in the case, so we do anticipate that. At any moment, he will go before that podium and answer questions. Let's go to Areva Martin, because, Areva, I'm curious to get your thoughts on what Tim Cruz, the district attorney in Plymouth, Massachusetts, said about the potential for a retrial and -- and the likelihood of finding an impartial jury in a case that has been receiving national attention and that has been so polarizing.

[15:15:16]

AREVA MARTIN, CNN LEGAL ANALYST: Well, national attention, we've seen that in so many high-profile cases now with the Internet, social media, wall-to-wall coverage of these cases, this is happening. It's happened before and will continue to happen. We have to rely on the jury system that jurors who are in panel will put aside any information that they've learned about a case through the media, that they will listen to the evidence that's presented in that courtroom and then follow the instructions of the judge. That's -- that's the best we can do, given how publicized these kinds of cases have become over the last decade or so.

I -- I think the district attorney was also giving himself an out, obviously talking about the kids and centering those three children in a way that he should, because we haven't heard from the prosecutors. We've just heard from the defense. But also leaving open the possibility that his prosecutorial team may decide that there isn't going to be a universe in which they can get a verdict, they can get a guilty verdict in this case. And they may have to come up with (INAUDIBLE) ...

KEILAR: All right. Let's -- I'm so sorry, Areva. I have to interrupt you, but let's listen in to Kevin Ruddington, the defense attorney.

KEVIN REDDINGTON, CLANCY'S DEFENSE ATTORNEY: Well, obviously, this is not a time for gloating, bragging, expressing victory. It's a very sad case. Cruz knows that he was crushed. He doesn't have a case. He doesn't have to stand here and say that he's advocating on behalf of the victims and then look down to see what their names are.

I'm representing a woman who is a fantastic, wonderful individual. This woman is so brave, so awesome. Every day she came in this courthouse, stood tall, no pun intended. The poor thing is in a wheelchair, as we all know, for the rest of her life, sat there through seven weeks of a trial where nobody had anything bad to say about her except for the two prosecutors and apparently Tim Cruz.

She had people that would meet her, nurses that would know her, that would visit with her, the chaplain who never knew her, from Brigham and Women's (ph), who went for three years and continues to visit with her because of the type of person she is. And it's not right what she had to go through because she grieves the loss of those three children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan, because I know their names. I don't have to look down to a piece of paper and find out what their names are.

And every time somebody had something to say about those young kids, Lindsay would smile and say, I'm glad. She wants them to be remembered. Where do I begin to thank these jurors? Minus one. The forelady of the jury, I was so proud when she indicated, after the judge sent them back to deliberate, indicating that one of the person would not listen to the law, and then she came back immediately with the question stating that this is one individual, it was 11 to 1 for an acquittal, and one individual who recognized that there was reasonable doubt and refused to apply the law.

So, you don't stand here on a bunch of microphones and crow about your victory because you, Tim, were crushed, as well you should have been. And I -- I just have to say that these people behind me, unbelievable, Patrick, my son Pat, attorney who helped us out through the course of this trial and thinks of Lindsay as a sister, Dan Nardo (sp?) from Nardo Associates (sp?), Bob Jones (ph), my friend and private investigator who ran down leads and would travel all over the south shore to find records and documents, Steve Verano (sp?), guy's like my brother, it's amazing the work that he did doing the phone dumps and all of the technicality in this case.

[15:20:09]

Giving me instructions on how to question witnesses with little arrows, do A to B, because he knew that I know nothing about that (INAUDIBLE). My friend Paul Mosher (ph), the guy who has been with us from the very beginning. My friend, like that was a bad thing, who went to the hospital and saw Lindsay and the condition she was in.

So, I want to thank these people, my office manager Laura Mather (ph) is amazing, my wife Deb who has just been a source of such support for me when I would have emotional fits (ph) over this case. And all you people, I'm going to miss you. (INAUDIBLE) ...

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You'll be back.

REDDINGTON: That's the plain of phrase. We'll be back.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Kevin, can you step up to the microphone, Kevin, so we can hear you because of the helicopters?

REDDINGTON: I'm done.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Kevin, what do you think (INAUDIBLE) ...

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Kevin, how angry are you (INAUDIBLE) ...

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Kevin, how is Lindsay this afternoon? How is Lindsay?

REDDINGTON: She's not good.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: (INAUDIBLE) ...

REDDINGTON: Not good?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Kevin, what do you ...

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Do they think they can go through this again?

REDDINGTON: They know that they were robbed by one man for whatever his agenda was, who stole seven weeks of the life of these other jurors that were so attentive, so beautiful, so wonderful. And listen to this evidence. And you can see how defeated they were sitting there.

And I got a funny feeling that they would have gone on for another week (INAUDIBLE) so I hope that guy can sleep well.

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: ... is not emotionally available (INAUDIBLE) ...

REDDINGTON: Sorry.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You said she wasn't emotionally available or ready to handle a retrial if one happened two days ago. What now that you face the possibility of one?

REDDINGTON: So, Judge Sullivan is indicating that we're looking at sometime in the fall, and she'll be ready. She'll be ready.

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Kevin, over here, please. What would you say to that juror, that man that you just spoke about? What would you say if you could talk to him?

REDDINGTON: I think I'll defer on that.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: What about the judge in this case?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Mr. Reddington.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Do you think he really delivered that (INAUDIBLE) correctly or do you think he (INAUDIBLE) ...

REDDINGTON: Well, as he said, that -- you know, he -- he knew that I wanted him to deliver it with a little more pizazz, I think was the line, but, you know, Judge -- Judge Sullivan is a -- is by reputation, known to be one of the best judges in the state, just a wonderful, wonderful man. He's got compassion. He's fair to jurors (INAUDIBLE) he loves jurors, he's fair to the staff, and while I think about it, the people in the courtroom, Chrissy (ph), the voice recorder, and John (ph) -- John (ph) amazing, and -- and the people that took care of Lindsay, the nurses, unbelievable, the court officers, Emily (ph), all such wonderful people.

(CROSSTALK) UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Kevin, did you mean not criminally responsible ...

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Kevin, when you say acquittal, did you mean not criminally responsible they were going -- the 11 jurors were going to find her not guilty by reason of insanity?

REDDINGTON: I think Mr. Cruz should revisit his facts and see whether or not he can even prove the case before he worries about whether or not they can bring those hired guns in, I wouldn't even call them hired guns, hired water pistols, and bring them in and have them testify as they did. They were totally incredible, unbelievable, and absolutely convincing.

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Kevin. Kevin, over here.

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Kevin, have you made ...

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: ... Kevin, please, we've been here from the very beginning, a question for you.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: (INAUDIBLE) ...

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We've been here from the very beginning. We saw how long jury selection took, you guys were diligent, you said you're so grateful for those 11 jurors. If this goes to a retrial on first degree, like you seem to think it will.

REDDINGTON: I want the same 11 jurors.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: No, but I'm wondering, is there a jury in Plymouth County who can agree on this case?

REDDINGTON: Oh, whether or not they could agree is one thing, obviously if we didn't have that one individual, we would have had a verdict and we would be out of here. But I don't know if we will ever be able to get a jurors that aren't aware of this case anywhere, New York, Washington, Georgia, Japan, India. I don't know, anywhere.

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Kevin, what do you -- what do you think about Patrick Clancy and his testimony?

REDDINGTON: He testified, jurors weighed his testimony, and you know, I mean, he, you heard -- well, I know you didn't, most of you didn't hear the 911 tape, but it was very (INAUDIBLE) ...

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: ... for retrial, and then you also said that Resnick is ready, what other expert (INAUDIBLE) potentially bring forward in a potential re-trial?

[15:25:08]

REDDINGTON: I have -- I have Dr. Zeisel, Dr. Klandi (ph), Dr. Resnick, the same triumvirate. They'll be ready.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Nothing different?

REDDINGTON: No. It doesn't have to be.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You said you were ready to retry this on Monday. Do you still feel like you could turn this around that quickly?

REDDINGTON: Yes, absolutely.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: And you feel there is something you would do differently with the second trial?

REDDINGTON: Why would I? I -- I won the case.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Where will it be ...

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: (INAUDIBLE) you know, talking about the Clancy children ...

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: (INAUDIBLE) let's say there's another trial, let's say they (INAUDIBLE) how are you going to deal with that? Are you ...

REDDINGTON: How are they going to change things up?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I don't know.

REDDINGTON: I mean, they're going to come in. They're going to have the same witnesses.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: (INAUDIBLE) ...

REDDINGTON: I can change that quicker.

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: (INAUDIBLE) turn that around with the second trial and (INAUDIBLE) ...

REDDINGTON: I think, if anything, this case showed clearly and unequivocally the woeful deficiency that women have when they're pregnant, when they have babies, and God forbid, when they're on medication because of postpartum depression, postpartum psychosis. It's just horrible what we saw in this trial. And maybe things have to change. And I hope that, you know, this case gave it an opportunity to turn it around. It might be the spark that lights the fire.

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: ... the unprecedented moments that (INAUDIBLE) one after the other, especially with this juror?

REDDINGTON: What about it? I'm sorry (INAUDIBLE) ...

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The unprecedented ways of this case. Why do you think it went this way, you know, with that one juror fighting this mistrial?

REDDINGTON: I don't know. I don't know the man. I don't know what his background, his feelings are. I don't know. I mean, our jury system, we like to say that people have a right to have their opinions and stand by their beliefs. I don't have a problem with that. I do have a problem where 11 hardworking jurors after all of those days of deliberation in a seven-week trial say that this man had doubt but still would not apply the law.

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: During this incredibly long trial, what were you saying Lindsay to get her through it and how will you prepare her to get through a retrial? And do you regret not putting her on the stand?

REDDINGTON: So, I'm not going to get into any discussions I had with Lindsay other than the fact that she turned me on to rascal flaps.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: What did the juror say when you were all told (INAUDIBLE) ...

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Did Lindsay ever want to take the stand?

REDDINGTON: I'm sorry?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Did he say he was following the instructions of the jury -- of the judge? The juror (INAUDIBLE) ...

REDDINGTON: You heard the question, you know, so it's the same as I had. That's all I had was the question.

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Did Lindsay want to take the stand? Did she ever say she wanted to take the stand?

REDDINGTON: What was that?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Where will Lindsay stay before the retrial?

REDDINGTON: Where will the what stay?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Where will Lindsay stay ...

REDDINGTON: Oh, she's at Tewksbury. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: She's stay there.

REDDINGTON: She'll stay at Tewksbury, yes. And -- and it's -- they're very, very nice people and they're going a great job.

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The jurors were emotional today. Were you surprised by their reaction?

REDDINGTON: No. They spent seven weeks of their life on this case and they were robbed too.

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Would you like to see a jury sequestered (INAUDIBLE) ...

REDDINGTON: I'll request it. We'll see what the judge does. It's very unusual nowadays.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Do you think that would make a big difference?

REDDINGTON: I -- I -- I just have real strong faith in this jury. They were just incredible. No, I don't even think it makes a difference that they were home with their families. I -- I don't believe these people violated any of the judge's orders. They were honest. They were hardworking. And, no, I -- I don't think it makes a difference.

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Kevin, why do you think so many women are touched by this case?

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: ... Sullivan's ruling?

REDDINGTON: Because of the woeful, deficient medical psychiatric care that pregnant women are getting. They just dismissed -- they just dismissed ...

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Right.

REDDINGTON: ... it's like, take this pill, take that pill, go away.

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: And Kevin, is Lindsay ready for a second trial? Is Lindsay ready for a second trial?

REDDINGTON: Lindsay is very, very, very strong. She is a very, very intelligent young woman, very emotionally invested, and just a tragic -- she's a classic example of a tragic person. Her life is a tragedy. And she was robbed by this man.

(CROSSTALK)

[15:29:58]

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Would you -- would you ever consider reaching plea agreement (INAUDIBLE) second trial or ...

REDDINGTON: Did -- did Mr. Cruz say anything about that from here?

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: No, they I refuse to answer the question.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: He said he's not sure.
