#New Fast Fact: Kevin Reddington reportedly asked Aidan Kearney (Turtleboy) for help on the Lindsay Clancy case in July 2023, according to Turtleboy’s website and social media posts
#Massachusetts
Critics say it is a major ethical violation to enlist the help of a social media blogger to help create a perception of innocence about a client that Reddington was (and still is) representing.

In messages shared by Kearney, Reddington praised Kearney because he ‘created’ Karen Read’s innocence.
Karen Read is the woman who was accused of klling her police officer boyfriend, but claimed she was being framed by his friends, who were also cops and the ones she claims actually k*lled him.
Karen Read was acquitted of second-degree m*rder and manslaughter.
🔶On July 22, 2023 – Reddington was already on the Clancy case, and also representing Jennifer McCabe in the Read case. (McCabe was the woman that Read claims was trying to frame her)
🔶Screenshots show a Messenger account labeled Kevin Reddington writing to Kearney late at night.
🔶The message praised Kearney for being a great investigative reporter, while saying they started off on the wrong foot.
🔶The account then asked Kearney to help with the Clancy case.
Other messages in the same thread detailed how Kearney created “more than reasonable doubt” for Karen Read.
Kearney replied the next morning saying he was already on the Clancy case and said Patrick Clancy was the strongest person he had seen, “followed by Karen Read.”
Kearney posted the messages on his website in September of 2023 under the title:
🔶”Reddington thought Read was innocent and “could use my help defending his client, Lindsay Clancy.”
Critics say this is an ethical violation for a defense attorney to enlist the help of an online blogger – who was already facing legal trouble for jury intimidation – to sway public opinion about a client he is representing.
So what is the jury intimidation? Well it stems from the Karen Read case.
Oct. 11, 2023 – Kearney was:
➡️Arrested on multiple counts of witness intimidation / conspiracy tied to witnesses in the Karen Read trial.
➡️He was indicted Dec. 2023 – 8 counts of witness intimidation, 3 counts of conspiracy, and 5 counts of picketing a witness
➡️He Pleaded not guilty, and a trial set for December of this year.
- He was arrested in lateDecember when:
➡️His ex-girlfriend Lindsey Gaetani alleged he attacked her and threatened to release nude photos of her after she was summoned to a grand jury about him.
➡️He was charged with domestic assault and battery and witness intimidation.
➡️Bail on the Read case was revoked. He did about 60 days in the Norfolk County jail.
➡️Oct. 22, 2025: Charges dropped after the special prosecutor quit, and no replacement was appointed. This was not an acquittal; just a lucky break for Kearney
- In2024 – he was:
➡️Charged with violating an abuse-prevention order.
➡️June 12, 2025: Judge Michael Pomarole found him not guilty after a two-day bench trial. The one-year RO was not extended in Jan. 2025.
- May 13, 2025 – thirdindictment
Two more witness intimidation counts after he stopped at D&E Pizza and caused a scene.
➡️Pleaded not guilty. This is part of the remaining pending charges.
- July 2026 – Atlantic County, New Jerseyindictment(sealed)
➡️His lawyer Mark Bederow said NJ indicted him on a civilian complaint from a woman who contacted him about humiliating John O’Keefe’s brother.
Some claim that Reddington knew Kearney’s methods and wanted him to impact the jury pool in the Clancy case as well – however there is no proof of that.
🔶Another message Kearney posted is one from the Reddington account that said he believed Karen Read was innocent –to which Kearney posted with this comment:
🔶“Kevin Reddington messaged me a month or so ago to tell me thta [sic] he believes Karen Read is innocent, which by default means that his client Jennifer McCabe was involved in covering up John O’Keefe’s m*rder.”
Which is also very interesting.
Reddington has not admitted that the messages were sent by him, but he hasn’t denied it either.
🔶In April 2023 (about three months before the friendly message exchange) Reddington left a public comment on Turtleboy’s Facebook page calling him “turd boy” and saying he wanted to “dance” with him in court.
They later shook hands in a courthouse, according to Kearney.
In the Clancy case Reddington took aim at the lone holdout juror himself when he thanked “these jurors”. Minus one.”
He said the other 11 had been “robbed by one man, for whatever his agenda was,” who “stole seven weeks” from people who “were so attentive, so beautiful, so wonderful.” Then: “I hope that guy can sleep well at night.”
He accused the juror of being a bigot, gender–doxxed him and tried to get the judge to reveal his identity by holding an open court questioning.
Leading many to claim jury intimidation is part of Reddington’s MO – which is why he reached out to Kearney in the first place. He saw what Kearney did for Karen Read, and he wanted him do the same thing for Clancy – again, this is a claim and not a proven fact.
Jonathan Turley called Reddington’s attack on the juror “utterly reprehensible” and said Reddington “put a target on the back of a juror who committed the unpardonable sin of not being convinced by his arguments.”
And now, after all this mess, the local NBC Boston report releasing searchable data about the holdout juror, the doxxing of that juror via photos, name, and details about his personal life – Judge Sullivan – in the Clancy case, has extended the lock down on the jury list indefinitely.
Sullivan was petitioned by a juror to keep the list sealed, and ruled there is credible fear for the jurors.
What do you think? Should a defense attorney be able to enlist the help of an online blogger to ‘create’ an innocent view of his client before the jury is even selected?
