The Brief Attorney Kevin Reddington is asking a judge to investigate juror Michael Desronvil. Desronvil was the lone juror who argued Lindsay Clancy should be convicted of murdering her three children. While the majority of jurors believed she was dealing with a rare condition when the crime occurred. Clancy will still be charged with murder, and she will continue being held in state custody in a psychiatric hospital.



An attorney for Lindsay Clancy is requesting that a judge probe the conduct of the juror who contends that the mother should be convicted of murder in the deaths of her three young children in Massachusetts.

In a motion filed on Sept. 18, Clancy's lawyer, Kevin Reddington, asked the court to question juror Michael Desronvil about his alleged use of a cellphone during deliberations, his truthfulness on a questionnaire that prospective jurors filled out before the trial started and his truthfulness when jurors were questioned by the judge a day before the trial ended.


The Associated Press reported that Reddington also asked the court to obtain a record of any calls or texts Desronvil made between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on each day the jury deliberated. Phone use during deliberations is prohibited in Massachusetts.

However, Desronvil sided with the prosecutors in the trial, who argued that Clancy knew what she was doing.

Clancy's lawyer, Kevin Reddington, asked President Donald Trump to intervene in the case, seeking a pardon even though the charges were brought under state law.
