Lindsay Clancy's lawyer asks judge to investigate juror and check his phone

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.

Lindsay Clancy's defense lawyers have asked a judge to investigate a holdout juror, Michael Desronvil, in the mistrial of her murder case. The lawyers allege Desronvil may have used his cellphone during deliberations and lied on pre-trial questionnaires and during judicial questioning. The jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict in Clancy's trial for the deaths of her three children, with eleven jurors believing she suffered from postpartum psychosis and Desronvil siding with prosecutors who argued she was aware of her actions. Clancy's defense also filed a separate motion to dismiss the case, arguing the mistrial should not have been declared. Prosecutors have not commented on whether they will retry Clancy, who remains charged and in a psychiatric hospital.
