NEWSAR · AI

Lindsay Clancy's defense attorney, Kevin Reddington, has requested a judge investigate a juror in the case. This comes after the proceedings against Clancy, accused of murdering her three children in Massachusetts, resulted in a mistrial due to a hung jury. Reddington wants the court to examine the juror's mobile phone use during deliberations and review his questionnaire responses. The juror in question, Michael Desronvil, was the sole holdout for a guilty verdict and stated there was "enough proof that she [Clancy] knew exactly what she was doing." Another juror claimed Desronvil expressed reasonable doubt, which he denies. Clancy has not denied the killings.
