Patrick Clancy was photographed taking a lengthy walk through New York City just days after a Massachusetts judge declared a mistrial in the murder case against his ex-wife, Lindsay Clancy.
Clancy, who lives in the city, appeared to be taking time to clear his head as he moved through the Big Apple dressed casually in gym shorts and a T-shirt.
Wearing dark sunglasses, he walked alone through Manhattan on Sunday during the hours-long outing.
Clancy has been seen publicly on several occasions during Lindsay’s trial, including with his wife while the jury remained deadlocked, though she was not with him during Sunday’s walk.
He was also spotted riding a Citi Bike and looking at new apartments as the proceedings unfolded.
Although Clancy testified during his ex-wife’s trial, he was not frequently seen inside the Massachusetts courthouse.
The New York sighting followed Friday’s mistrial ruling, which came after one juror declined to join the rest of the panel.
Lindsay Clancy could now face a retrial over the deaths of the couple’s three children: Cora, five, Dawson, three, and Callan, eight months.

Judge William Sullivan announced a mistrial at a court in Plymouth, Massachusetts, shortly before 2.30pm ET Friday after an emergency appeal by Lindsay’s attorney, Kevin Reddington, failed.
She admits killing her children in 2023 but says she did so while overmedicated and suffering from postpartum psychosis.
Prosecutors now face a number of options, including retrying Lindsay on reduced charges or seeking a verdict decided by a judge, rather than by jurors.
The jury panel of nine women and three men spent over 37 hours deliberating the case after five weeks of evidence.
They sent four notes to the judge this week saying they had been unable to reach a verdict. Yesterday it emerged that 11 of the 12 jurors had come to the same verdict, but a twelfth holdout was refusing to follow them.
Reddington filed an appeal claiming this unidentified juror was biased towards people with mental disabilities.
The final note sent by jurors on Friday morning read: ‘It is with a heavy heart that we are unable to come to a unanimous decision and will not be able to.’
Friday’s Hail Mary motion was put before Associate Justice Dalila Argaez Wendlandt around 2pm ET. The brief hearing took place over Zoom, with Wendlandt issuing her ruling rejecting the appeal shortly afterward.

The panel could not agree on whether Lindsay, 36, was guilty of murder, manslaughter, or not criminally responsible for her actions by Friday morning.
During the sensational five weeks of testimony, prosecutors argued the killings were intentional and well-planned, not the work of someone who had lost control.
True crime fans have also floated wild conspiracies that Patrick Clancy is the true murderer and that Lindsay was framed. Clancy has not faced any charges for the death of his children.
After the trial was declared a mistrial, Clancy released a statement through his attorney, expressing gratitude toward those involved.
‘Patrick Clancy is grateful to the Court and to the jurors for their hard work, their commitment, and their perseverance,’ his lawyer David Meier said.
‘The loss of Patrick’s children is something from which he will never recover and from which there will never be closure.

‘The prospect of reliving this tragedy through another trial is extraordinarily painful for Patrick, for his family, and for all of us.’
Our News Outlet previously revealed that Patrick has relocated to a Midtown Manhattan high-rise with his new wife, who is a fertility specialist and doctor.
Public records show Patrick moved from suburban Massachusetts to Manhattan in May 2023, four months after the deaths of his children.
