Lindsay Clancy's defense attorneys ask judge to investigate holdout juror and dismiss the case

Lindsay Clancy's defense attorney Kevin Reddington filed a motion asking the judge to investigate holdout juror Michael Desronvil over alleged cellphone use during deliberations and his truthfulness on a juror questionnaire. A second motion from attorney Martin Weinberg asked the judge to dismiss the case entirely, arguing the mistrial should not have been declared and a retrial would violate double-jeopardy protections. The judge declared a mistrial on September 4 after the jury could not reach a unanimous verdict, with 11 jurors ready to clear Clancy and Desronvil siding with the prosecution.
