Nancy Grace says Kevin Reddington deserved contempt for courtroom outburst

In a recent appearance on a national news show, veteran legal analyst Nancy Grace condemned defense attorney Kevin Reddington for his conduct on the courthouse steps after Judge Sullivan announced a mistrial in the Lindsay Clancy case in Plymouth, MA. Grace highlighted the judge’s reference to Winston Churchill’s call to duty and praised the juror who stood firm despite pressure. She described Reddington’s attempt to secure an immediate review of the verdict, supported by a lengthy document claiming juror bias against the mentally ill, as unfounded and contemptuous.

Grace explained that such motions are not unusual but emphasized that filing them at the moment the jury was being reconvened was extraordinary. She added that the case will be retried and that retrials typically benefit the prosecution. Finally, Grace urged viewers to expect a “bumpy ride” for the defense in the upcoming proceedings.
