Lindsay Clancy’s attorney wants the judge presiding over her case to investigate the lone holdout juror from her murder trial.
In a motion filed Friday, Sept. 18, Kevin Reddington asked Judge William Sullivan to review the juror’s cell phone data usage during deliberations.
The motion also requested that juror questionnaires be preserved and that the court provide under seal which background checks were conducted and if the juror was involved in any matter involving the Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office.
Reddington further requested that Sullivan question the juror about whether he was truthful on his questionnaire and whether he received any outside information during deliberations.
Clancy’s trial ended in a mistrial after the jury remained ᴅᴇᴀᴅlocked, apparently voting 11-1 in favor of finding her not guilty by lack of criminal responsibility.
Though the filing does not name the holdout juror, he previously identified himself in a statement to NewsNation as Michael P. Desronvil.
“I didn’t have any doubts,” he told the outlet. “As I tried to explain different possible theories during deliberation, I kept getting cut off as if I had doubts based on the evidence present.”
“Based on all the physical evidence, key witnesses, and what the prosecution presents, I thought it was enough proof that [Clancy] knew exactly what she was doing and planned,” he continued.
During the trial, the defense claimed that Clancy, who does not deny killing her three children, had been failed by medical providers after she sought help for postpartum mental health concerns.
Reddington argued that at the time of the killings, Clancy was in a state of psychosis and overmedicated.
The prosecution had argued Clancy was deliberate when she killed her children and not psycH๏τic.
Other jurors, including Nick Dargie, have spoken out since the trial ended. Dargie claimed on Good Morning America that the holdout juror had been scrolling on his phone during deliberations.
Prosecutors haven’t yet said if they will retry the case. A court hearing is scheduled for Sept. 29.
