华盛顿9月8日路透电 —— 林赛·克兰西的律师于本周二请求唐纳德·特朗普总统赦免这名马萨诸塞州母亲，尽管该案是依据州法律提起公诉的。克兰西的谋杀审判于上周宣告重审无果。
特朗普上周表示，他一直在关注克兰西的庭审。这名36岁的母亲被控于2023年1月在其家中杀害自己的三名子女。

“总统先生，我希望您能考量这位年轻女士的为人与她所经历的一切，考虑给予赦免，”律师凯文·雷丁顿在接受美国广播公司《早安美国》采访的尾声说道。

总统的赦免权仅适用于联邦罪行，而克兰西是依据州法律被起诉的。不过特朗普对自己的赦免权持有宽泛的解读，并曾在部分州法院审理的案件中动用过这一权力。
当被问及克兰西的赦免请求时，白宫援引了总统此前就该案发表的言论。
“她做了一件极其、极其恶劣的事，恶劣到无以复加，”一名州法官因陪审团无法达成一致裁决而宣布重审无果后，特朗普对记者说道，“但你们会看到她要付出什么代价。她必须付出代价，要么进精神病院，要么坐牢，或是别的什么处罚。”

庭审期间，克兰西的律师辩称她因精神失常而无罪，称其当时正经历产后精神病引发的精神病性发作。
检方则主张这些杀戮是有预谋的。该州目前可寻求重新审理此案。
去年12月，特朗普赦免了前科罗拉多州县文员蒂娜·彼得斯，这名特朗普的盟友因与投票机篡改相关的州级指控被定罪。
尽管赦免因彼得斯是依据州法律被起诉而在很大程度上被视为象征性举动，但此举却给民主党籍科罗拉多州州长贾里德·波利斯带来了政治压力，因为外界对彼得斯九年监禁刑期存在质疑。
波利斯于今年5月对彼得斯给予了宽大处理，她之后还曾与特朗普在椭圆形办公室一同露面。

WASHINGTON, Sept 8 (Reuters) – The lawyer for Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother whose murder trial ended in a mistrial last week, asked President Donald Trump on Tuesday to pardon her, despite the fact that the case was prosecuted under state law.
Trump said last week he had been following Clancy’s trial. The 36-year-old mother was accused of killing her three children in their home in January 2023.

“Mr. President, I would hope that you would consider this young lady, the type of person she is and what she’s been through, and consider a pardon,” attorney Kevin Reddington said at the end of an interview on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

A president’s pardon power applies only to federal crimes, and Clancy was prosecuted under state law. Trump has nevertheless taken a broad view of his clemency powers and applied them in some cases tried in state courts.
Asked about the Clancy pardon request, the White House referred to the president’s previous comments on the case.
“She did a horrible, horrible thing. Can’t be worse,” Trump told reporters after a state judge declared a mistrial because jurors could not reach a unanimous verdict. “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.”

At trial, Clancy’s lawyers argued she was not guilty by reason of insanity, saying she was experiencing a psychotic episode caused by postpartum psychosis.
Prosecutors argued the killings were premeditated. The state could now seek a retrial.
Last December, Trump pardoned former Colorado county clerk Tina Peters, a Trump ally who had been convicted on state charges related to voting machine tampering.
The pardon was largely viewed as symbolic because Peters was prosecuted under state law. But the move added political pressure on Colorado Governor Jared Polis, a Democrat, given questions about Peters’ nine-year prison sentence.
Polis granted Peters clemency in May, and she later appeared with Trump in the Oval Office.
