Lindsay Clancy holdout juror's attorneys unveil plans to file complaint against Kevin Reddington
Key Points:
- Attorneys for Michael Desronvil, the lone holdout juror in Lindsay Clancy’s triple murder trial, plan to file a bar complaint against Clancy’s defense lawyer, Kevin Reddington, accusing him of singling out their client.
- Reddington filed a motion alleging juror misconduct by Desronvil, including lying on his juror questionnaire and using a cell phone during deliberations, which Desronvil’s lawyers describe as unprecedented and improper.
- Prosecutors have requested a gag order on Reddington due to his public comments about the jury and Desronvil, with a hearing scheduled for November 2; meanwhile, the judge declared a mistrial in early September after jurors deadlocked.
- The trial concerns Lindsay Clancy, accused of strangling her three children in January 2023, with her defense citing severe postpartum psychosis, while jurors mostly leaned toward a not guilty by reason of insanity verdict except for Desronvil.
- Prosecutors have not yet announced their next steps regarding potential retrial, plea bargains, or dropping charges following the mistrial.
