Lindsay Clancy Juror Faced WHAT Before Deliberations?!

The lone holdout in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial is now part of a legal inquiry the defense is asking the court to authorize. Michael Desronvil voted to hold Clancy criminally responsible while the other 11 jurors favored a verdict of not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility. After the September 4 mistrial, public records revealed legal problems in Desronvil's background that were not part of the public trial record when he was seated. 

Those records include a dismissed domestic assault case, a civil restraining order involving his teenage nephew that was active when jury selection took place, and eviction proceedings. Kevin Reddington wants the court to inspect Desronvil's sealed questionnaire and determine whether he accurately answered questions about prior arrests, charges, and court orders. The defense also wants information about alleged cellphone use during deliberations. Desronvil denies the central criticism of his deliberations and says he had no doubt about his position. 

The courtroom fight follows Patrick Clancy's 60 Minutes interview, where he described the months before the killings from inside the family home. Patrick said mental illness can be 'tragically deceptive.' He recalled Lindsay's lack of sleep, deep depression, intrusive thoughts, repeated treatment, and a psychiatric hospitalization that ended days before the family celebrated Cora's birthday. He also said Lindsay later described January 24 as something she remembered like a dream. 

Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke put the two developments side by side without turning either into more than the record supports. Patrick can describe what he saw, but he cannot retroactively diagnose what everyone missed. The defense can identify troubling juror history, but it still has to show why it matters legally. On September 29, Judge Sullivan is expected to confront motions aimed at both the juror controversy and whether a second prosecution would violate double-jeopardy protections.
