PLYMOUTH, Mass. â defense attorney Kevin Reddington has fired back after the lawyer of the lone juror who wanted to convict her accused him of filing “Looney Tunes” motions that threaten the Constitution.
“I think Ed ought to learn how to go into the courtroom and articulate his position rather than be a histrionic individual that’s just mouthing off for the media,” Reddington told Fox News Digital.
Reddington’s remarks came in response to social media posts and a recent interview from the juror’s attorney, Edward Paltzik, who has argued that Reddington’s push for an inquiry into the holdout is “a full-frontal attack on the U.S. Constitution” and a threat to the Sixth Amendment, which guarantees due process rights to criminal defendants.

“Every motion that has been filed is legitimate,” Reddington said. “It’s all based on sound, law, facts, jury questions, and I’m doing what I should do, representing Lindsay. And I’m pretty sure that Ed would have probably done the same thing, were it in Houston, and he was representing his client.”
In an interview with Ray Marcel, a YouTuber who streams under the pseudonym FugitiveTV, Paltzik also called for Clancy’s execution, although she hasn’t been convicted of any criminal charges and Massachusetts does not impose the death penalty.

“Ed, why don’t you just shut up?” Reddington said. “Really, you foul individual.”
However, Reddington joked that he didn’t get Paltzik’s reference at first but agreed that it was a funny jab after having someone explain it to him.
Paltzik fired back on Friday.
“Its really not complicated. Im not backing down. Im not backing off of it one inch. It should not be controversial at all that I called Lindsay Clancy a demon. â¦She strangled her three innocent children,” he told Fox News Digital.
And as for the challenge from Reddington to see him in court, he said he’s working to find local counsel and that filings would be coming.
“Kevin Reddington was doing his job but the problem is its off the rails now,” Paltzik continued. “Im speaking as a criminal defense attorney for almost 20 years. I would never criticize a juror. And I would never file a post-trial motion to investigate the juror.”
