Lawyers for Lindsay Clancy Ask Judge to Investigate Juror in Deadlocked Case

Defense lawyers want the judge to review whether the lone holdout juror used a cellphone and lied during questioning.

  • Lawyers for Lindsay Clancy filed a motion Friday requesting a judicial investigation into juror Michael Desronvil, alleging potential misconduct including alleged cellphone use during deliberations.
  • Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial on September 4 following an 11-1 jury deadlock, with 11 jurors prepared to clear Clancy of responsibility citing postpartum psychosis while Desronvil remained the sole holdout.
  • Defense attorney Kevin Reddington requested records of all calls or texts made by Desronvil during deliberations, citing state law prohibiting phone use. Lawyer Martin Weinberg separately moved to dismiss the case entirely.
  • In a statement released last week, Desronvil said he "didn't have any doubts" about his verdict. A spokesperson for Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz declined to comment on the pending motions.
  • Clancy remains charged with murder and continues to reside in a psychiatric hospital while her case is resolved. Prosecutors have not yet announced whether they plan to pursue a retrial.
