Lindsay Clancy’s lawyer has asked a judge to probe the phone data of the sole juror who voted against acquitting the killer mom in her case which ended this month. 

Eleven of 12 jurors were ready to clear Clancy of criminal responsibility last Friday, but their deadlock forced the judge to declare a mistrial, leaving the case unresolved. 

Neither side disputed that Clancy strangled five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson and eight-month-old Callan Clancy in the family’s Massachusetts home in January 2023 before trying to end her own life. 

However, her defense attorney Kevin Reddington said she was a loving mother in the grip of a rare condition called postpartum psychosis, while prosecutors argued that she knew what she was doing.

The sole holdout juror, Michael P. Desronvil, 48, sided with prosecutors and said that he had no doubts about Clancy’s guilt, in opposition to the verdict reached by the other jurors. 

Now, Reddington has asked the judge, William Sullivan, to examine Desronvil’s mobile phone metadata during the time the jury was deliberating over the case, according to a motion seen by the New York Times. 

The motion also asks the judge to question Desronvil about the truthfulness of the information he provided during jury selection and the use of his phone or any outside information during deliberations. 

Reddington has requested the questioning to be on the record, in the presence of attorneys from both sides.

‘The inquiry will not touch the substance of deliberations,’ the motion reads. 

It is unclear whether the jury’s decision could be reversed. 

Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse, did not deny that she killed her three children, but argued she should be found not guilty by reason of insanity as she was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time.

While 11 of the jurors agreed with this characterization of the killings, Desronvil did not buy the story.

Since a mistrial was declared, several jurors have publicly accused him of refusing to meaningfully engage with their arguments, with some describing him as ‘arrogant’.

Fellow juror Paula Devlin, 65, told the Daily Mail that the holdout juror made ‘no sense’ when pressed on his reasons for his vote and was ‘quiet’ for most of the week-long deliberations.

He was more focused on policing the tenor of the group’s discussions than offering explanations for his conviction that Clancy was guilty, she said.

‘The main thing he focused on is sometimes we would all want to talk at once, and that was very upsetting to him.

‘He would get upset and say, ”Listen to what she’s saying, listen to what he’s saying, be respectful’.”

‘We were trying to say to him, that sometimes somebody says something and they get lost in their thought or they can’t find the right word, and somebody else puts that word in there for them or finishes their thought, that’s how normal conversation works.

‘But when that would happen, he would get upset and just take all this time lecturing us about not being respectful.’

Devlin also claimed the holdout rarely fraternized with the group during the trial, instead preferring to speak to his wife or watch videos on his phone.

She said the 11 jurors who decided Clancy was not guilty of murder or manslaughter in the deaths of her kids felt ‘defeat’ and ‘anger’ when the mistrial was declared.

Cora, five; Dawson, three; and Callan, eight months, were found strangled to death at their home in Duxbury, Massachusetts on January 24, 2023 

Meanwhile, the father of the three slain children, Patrick Clancy, has revealed that he suffered a panic attack and ended up needing medical treatment while giving grueling testimony at his ex-wife’s trial.

The grieving father sat down with 60 Minutes on Sunday to share his heartbreak over the deaths of his three children Cora, five, Dawson, three and Callan, eight months old, as well as the toll that their mother’s trial took on him.

Patrick was one of the key witnesses in the case, testifying to Clancy’s spiraling mental health and describing the moment that he returned home to find his children dead.

Throughout his hours-long testimony, the Daily Mail saw the 38-year-old struggling to contain his emotions, physically trembling, taking deep breaths and wiping away tears as he relived the painful memories from that day in January 2023.

Speaking about the ordeal to 60 Minutes, Patrick shared that he had experienced a ‘massive, traumatic panic attack’ during a recess in proceedings inside Plymouth County Superior Court, Massachusetts.

‘We did take a break right before they played the 911 call, which I knew was going to be just horrific,’ he said.

‘And I went to a back room, and I started having this massive, traumatic panic attack. My heart was pounding.’

Patrick said he was put in an ambulance and offered medication, but turned it down, insisting he wanted to resume testifying.

‘I said “I don’t want it because I want to go back and I want to finish this so I can be done with this,”‘ he said of that moment. ‘And I went back and I finished the testimony.’
