Paltzik Seeks Bar Complaint Against Clancy Lawyer as 1 Holdout Juror Faces Scrutiny

Summary
Edward Paltzik said he will file a bar complaint against Kevin Reddington after the Lindsay Clancy mistrial, accusing the defense lawyer on Fox News of attacking the jury system and targeting holdout juror Michael Desronvil.
Paltzik also called Clancy “demonic” and said Reddington had “lost his mind,” while insisting Desronvil had “zero doubt” about guilt and did not refuse to follow the law during deliberations.
Reddington has asked the court to investigate Desronvil, seeking records tied to alleged domestic abuse, other cases and phone data; Paltzik said every allegation was fabricated and said the pressure has strained his client’s family.
Clancy is accused of killing her 3 children in January 2023, and her lawyers argued postpartum psychosis left her not criminally responsible; 11 jurors reportedly backed that view before a mistrial was declared Sept. 4.
The dispute now shifts back to court Tuesday, when Clancy is due for her first hearing since the mistrial.
