Lindsay Clancy’s defence lawyer has asked a Massachusetts judge to examine the phone metadata of the sole juror who opposed acquitting her over the deaths of her three children. The request follows a mistrial after 11 of 12 jurors reportedly supported Clancy’s claim that postpartum psychosis made her legally insane, while juror Michael P. Desronvil maintained that she was criminally responsible.

The motion seeks information about Desronvil’s phone use, possible outside information during deliberations and the accuracy of his answers during jury selection, with questioning conducted on the record. It does not seek to examine the substance of deliberations, and it remains unclear whether any findings could alter the mistrial or affect any future proceedings; several fellow jurors have accused Desronvil of being uncommunicative and dismissive.
