GoFundMe for Lindsay Clancy’s Parents Increases Goal to $3 Million After Judge Declares Mistrial
The fundraiser now has $1.17 million raised as organizers say the Musgroves face rising travel and lodging costs while the case remains unresolved.
- On Friday, Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial in Lindsay Clancy's triple-murder trial after jurors remained deadlocked 11-1, unable to reach a unanimous verdict. The 'Musgrove Family Fund' on GoFundMe subsequently increased its financial goal to $3 million.
- Created to assist parents Michael Musgrove and Paula Musgrove, the campaign helps cover substantial expenses incurred while they relocated from Connecticut to Massachusetts to support their daughter. Organizer Brandee Mulligan emphasized the fundraiser provides humanitarian relief rather than covering legal costs.
- The campaign has raised $1.1 million of its newly increased $3 million goal as of Saturday afternoon. Mulligan cited extended legal proceedings as the primary reason for the adjustment to support Mike and Paula Musgrove indefinitely.
- Prosecutors must now decide whether to retry the case or seek a negotiated resolution, with a hearing scheduled for September 29. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington is expected to ask for a finding of not guilty at that time.
- Regardless of the trial's final outcome, Mike and Paula Musgrove face ongoing financial and emotional burdens after three years of dedication. The case brings attention to postpartum psychosis, which psychiatrist Dr. Lauren Osborne describes as 'a psychiatric emergency' involving severe mood changes and delusions.
