Lindsay Clancy's lawyer hopes for an agreement with the prosecution

The lawyer of the woman accused of murdering her three children has said he hopes to reach an agreement with prosecutors, after the case ended in a mistrial on Friday.

Kevin Reddington said he was upset that a lone member of the 12-person jury clung to the belief that Lindsay Clancy was guilty, even though the juror was said to have "had doubt".

To find Clancy guilty, jurors needed to be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that she intentionally killed her children - Cora, Dawson and Callan - and was not experiencing a psychotic break.

Reddington made the comments during an interview with ABC's Good Morning America on Tuesday, where he also appealed to President Donald Trump to pardon Clancy.

"I would hope that you would consider this young lady, the type of person she is, what she's been through, and consider a pardon," Reddington said.

Reddington also said he hoped the district attorney prosecuting the case "would be able to work something out that would be acceptable to both sides".

The jury's deadlock came after weeks of trial, days of deliberations, and multiple requests by the judge on the case urging them to work to come to an agreement.

The jury was weighing a range of options, from not guilty by reason of insanity to manslaughter and first-degree murder.

The BBC's has contacted the district attorney for Plymouth County, Massachusetts.
