Six Lindsay Clancy jury notes revealed in new court filing as prosecutors ask judge to deny her bid to get charges tossed

Key Points:

• Jury notes from Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial revealed the panel was deadlocked for days, with six notes sent before a mistrial was declared on Sept. 4 due to inability to reach a unanimous verdict.
• The foreperson’s notes highlighted issues with a lone holdout juror, Michael Desronvil, who allegedly refused to apply reasonable doubt as instructed, leading to the deadlock despite other jurors' willingness to acquit by reason of insanity.
• Desronvil and his attorney maintain he believed the evidence showed Clancy knowingly planned the killings and did not have doubts about her guilt, contrasting with 11 jurors leaning toward a not guilty verdict based on severe postpartum psychosis.
• Clancy’s defense attorney sought to dismiss charges citing juror comments as an “unannounced verdict” and argued for a not guilty finding based on trial evidence, but prosecutors opposed dismissal, emphasizing the mistrial was proper due to jury deadlock.
• No new trial date has been set, and prosecutors have not confirmed if Clancy will be retried on the original first-degree murder charges; she is scheduled to return to court on Nov. 2.
