Nancy Grace is pushing back after Lindsay Clancy’s defense attorney publicly criticized her coverage of the closely watched murder trial. The legal commentator says the dispute with Kevin Reddington is not where she wants the attention to remain.
Nancy Grace said her focus remains on the three children killed as she responded to Kevin Reddington
Nancy Grace answered Reddington during a Sept. 1 appearance on Fox News’ Hannity. The defense attorney had accused her of misrepresenting evidence in the Lindsay Clancy trial. Reddington specifically challenged Grace’s earlier comments about Clancy’s internet searches. He asked her to show where Clancy had searched “how to kill.”
Grace rejected the criticism. “He is not my concern,” she said, before turning the discussion back to the children. She said her work has long centered on violent crime victims. Grace then named Cora, Dawson and Callan as her concern in this case.
Reddington had also criticized Sean Hannity’s coverage outside the courthouse. He called the media discussion harmful and urged journalists to “do it right.” The exchange added another layer of tension to an already intense trial. Lindsay Clancy has admitted killing her three children in January 2023.
However, she has pleaded not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility. Her defense attorney argues that postpartum psychosis left her legally not responsible. Prosecutors dispute that claim. They argue Clancy understood her actions and should be held criminally responsible.
Meanwhile, the case has reached a difficult stage. The jury reported that it could not reach a unanimous decision after hours of deliberations.
The trial also produced several major developments before deliberations. Earlier, Clancy’s final texts with Patrick Clancy drew attention during testimony. As of Sept. 2, jurors were deliberating for a fifth day after reporting a deadlock. The judge had instructed them to keep working toward a verdict.
Grace also returned to Fox News on Sept. 2 as deliberations continued. She predicted there would not be a “compromise verdict.” For now, the clash between Grace and Reddington remains secondary to the jury’s task. Both sides continue waiting for a decision.
