Reddington Rebukes Paltzik Over 1 Juror Inquiry in Clancy Case as Retrial Fight Looms
3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Sep 27
Summary
Kevin Reddington said every post-mistrial motion in Lindsay Clancy’s case is legitimate, rejecting Edward Paltzik’s claim that the defense’s bid to probe a juror is a constitutional attack.
The clash centers on Michael Desronvil, the sole juror who favored convicting Clancy, while 11 others backed a verdict of not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect.
Defense filings seek a limited inquiry into the holdout’s background, possible criminal history, phone records and courthouse video, arguing he ignored instructions on reasonable doubt and that the mistrial was mishandled.
Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial on Sept. 4 after a week of deliberations in the 2023 killings of Clancy’s 3 children; Clancy returns to court Tuesday as prosecutors weigh a second trial.
