Summary
One juror stopped eleven others from acquitting Lindsay Clancy by reason of insanity. Now that juror is the subject of a formal judicial inquiry, and his own court records are the reason. Judge William Sullivan on September 21 granted defense attorney Kevin Reddington's motion to produce the holdout's sealed juror questionnaire and conduct a limited investigation. The defense alleges the juror may have given false answers during selection about his criminal history and existing court orders. The holdout has been identified as Michael Desronvil, 48, of Bridgewater. He was arrested in 2021 on a domestic assault charge that was later dismissed. His teenage nephew obtained a restraining order against him after alleging Desronvil pushed him down and repeatedly punched him in the face. That restraining order was active during the entire Clancy trial. Massachusetts law requires prospective jurors to disclose this information on their questionnaires. The motion also targets Desronvil's cellphone. Multiple jurors told interviewers that the holdout scrolled through his phone during deliberations rather than engaging in discussion. If the phone shows outside material was accessed, that constitutes an external influence courts can investigate. Through an attorney, Desronvil says he had no doubts about Clancy's guilt. The foreperson and multiple jurors say the opposite. Defense counsel Martin Weinberg, who joined from the Karen Read case, is preparing a double-jeopardy motion arguing that a jury broken by a disqualified juror cannot produce a lawful mistrial. The September 29 hearing will determine how far this investigation goes. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
