Patrick Clancy Looks Relaxed Walking Hand-in-Hand With New Wife in NYC Ahead of Judge Declaring Mistrial in Lindsay Clancy Murder Case

Patrick Clancy was spotted on a rare outing ahead of his ex-wife's deadlocked case being declared a mistrial.

Clancy was out and about in Manhattan with his current wife as Lindsay Clancy awaited a decision from the jury in her high-profile murder trial.

He and Rachel Danis were all smiles as they walked hand-in-hand in New York City on Wednesday, September 2, while the jury hit day five of deliberations., according to photos obtained by Fox News.

The grieving father appeared relaxed and even seemed to be laughing as he wore a red windbreaker while walking with his wife, whom he began dating a year after his ex-wife's alleged crimes.

Lindsay faces trial for three counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of her and Patrick's young children, Cora, Dawson and Callan, in 2023. According to prosecutors, she strangled each of her kids before attempting to end her own life, leaving her wheelchair bound.

The mother's defense has not been that she did not kill them, but that her alleged act of violence occurred amid a bout of postpartum psychosis.

Testimony from various medical professionals, caretakers and even Patrick himself lasted for five weeks before the jury began deliberating on August 27.

Patrick quietly began divorce proceedings following the killings in early 2023, though at the time he wrote a statement asking that his wife be forgiven, according to People.

“My family was the best thing that ever happened to me,” he stated. “I took so much pride in being Lindsay’s husband and a dad to Cora, Dawson, and Callan.”

He moved to New York City shortly thereafter and began dating again. He married Rachel in Central Park earlier this year.

Ahead of a judge declaring a mistrial on Friday, September 4, the jury had been deadlocked for several days, with 11 members in agreement and one standing out. The jury's foreperson reportedly informed Judge William Sullivan that one juror refuses to follow instructions on reasonable doubt.

William questioned each of the jurors individually on Thursday, September 3, before rereading his instructions.

After the jury told the judge twice that they could not reach a verdict, he declined to remove the holdout juror, allowing deliberations to continue. William then declared a mistrial after they once again failed to reach a decision.

Lindsay's attorney, Kevin Reddington, told reporters on Thursday that he hoped that both sides would have the opportunity to argue the inquiries submitted by the jury as they attempt to avoid a mistrial, according to PBS.

Kevin also accused the judge of "glossing over" the issue of reasonable doubt.

"Well, my point, judge, simply is that you're kind of glossing over the issue," he stated, asking the judge to "firmly" reiterate his instructions, per NBC 10. "The issue is this juror will not, according to that note, apply the law of reasonable doubt, and that's why I've requested, you know what I've requested, so I note my objection."
