One of the jurors reportedly identified in the Lindsay Clancy trial is a supporter of Karen Read, the woman acquitted last year in the death of her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O’Keefe.
Clancy, 36, faced three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her children — Cora, Dawson and Callan, all under age 6 — who were found strangled at the family’s home in January 2023. Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial Friday in Clancy’s murder case after jurors were unable to reach a unanimous verdict, ending in an alleged 11-1 divide.
Kellie Farina, a senior center chef in Plymouth County who reportedly served as a juror in Clancy’s trial, told NBC10 Boston that defense attorney Kevin Reddington strengthened his case by calling the people closest to Clancy to testify.

“[Reddington] brought all these people in — people that loved her, her family, her in-laws,” Farina said. “Even Patrick [Clancy] was very compassionate.”
“So 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,” she added.

A Facebook profile belonging to the juror, which lists her job as a chef at a Plymouth County senior center, had previously voiced support for Read during her retrial.
“Over and out Page. Massachusetts Jury did their rightful duty today. Karen’s FREE,” Farina posted on June 18, 2025 in a “Free Karen Read” Facebook group after Read was acquitted.

“The only mention of that POS Michael Proctor by Hank Brennan is he referred to him as bogeyman proctor during his closing arguments. What a freaking joke!” Farina posted on June 13, 2025.

“I‘m willing to listen to Tim. I‘ve known Tim for 30 years. He‘s a very hard charging prosecutor,” Reddington said, referring to Plymouth County District Attorney Tim Cruz. “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.”
