A juror who served in the recent mistrial of Lindsay Clancy, accused of killing her three children, had publicly supported Karen Read following her acquittal last year in the death of her boyfriend. Kellie Farina, identified as a juror in Clancy's case, reportedly posted messages on Facebook cheering Read's exoneration.
Clancy, 36, faced three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her children—Cora, Dawson, and Callan—who were found strangled in their Duxbury, Massachusetts, home in January 2023. A mistrial was declared Friday when jurors could not reach a unanimous verdict, with reports indicating an 11-1 split.
Farina, who works as a senior center chef in Plymouth County, told NBC10 Boston that she appreciated Clancy's defense attorney, Kevin Reddington, for presenting testimony from people close to Clancy, including her family and her husband, Patrick Clancy. "We appreciated the fact that [Reddington] didn’t just delay [the trial] and drag it on with a bunch of more medical BS and get more to the point really of who Lindsay is and what her life was like," Farina reportedly said.
Her Facebook profile, which listed her profession, had posts from June 2025. In one post on a "Free Karen Read" group, Farina wrote, "Over and out Page. Massachusetts Jury did their rightful duty today. Karen's FREE." In another post, she criticized Massachusetts State Police investigator Michael Proctor, referring to his mention in closing arguments as "bogeyman proctor."
Farina also described the prosecution's approach in Clancy's case as "very, very harsh." She recalled Patrick Clancy's 911 call as "the most horrific thing" she had ever heard.
Reddington stated in an interview with "Good Morning America" that he hopes a plea agreement can be reached. He expressed a willingness to discuss the matter with Plymouth County District Attorney Tim Cruz, whom he has known for 30 years. "I hope, however, after sitting through this trial and seeing the evidence that was presented from the government as well as from the defense, that he would revisit that issue and hopefully would be able to work something out that would be acceptable to both sides," Reddington said.
District Attorney Cruz has not yet indicated his next steps for Clancy's case. Judge William Sullivan has scheduled a status hearing for September 29.
