The question of whether this holdout was actually following the law about reasonable doubt has never been fully explored.
The mistrial happened weeks ago, but
They're asking for several things.
One, they want the holdout juror, the one juror who opted not to vote with the other eleven and acquit Lindsey Clancy by reason of insanity, and they want him to be thoroughly questioned because the defense says
According to the other jurors, he was having doubts about Lindsey Clancy's guilt, but yet voted to convict her anyway.
And they question whether the juror was following the law that says a conviction requires proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
Now we've heard from the holdout juror, his name is Michael Desronville, he's forty eight years old, and in a statement issued through his attorney he said he didn't have any doubts.
He said he kept getting cut off in the deliberation room, but he believed that prosecutors did in fact prove the case.
The other thing that if you're
Defense wants is a look at his cell phone records because one of the jurors, Nick Darjee, told us uh when I interviewed him in Plymouth shortly after the the mistrial.
This juror said that the holdout was scrolling on his phone and not really paying attention during deliberations.
And being on your phone isn't something that's really allowed.
Well the holdout juror's attorney is calling what the defense is asking for here disgusting.
And beyond that, Brad, dangerous because
If the defense gets what it wants, the holdout juror's attorney says it would undermine the jury system.
Deliberations are supposed to be behind closed doors for a reason.
We're not really supposed to have a window into how the deliberations are going.
It's only because the four person sent a note to the judge accusing the holdout of not following the law that we even know about any of this.
That in a couple of interviews that jurors have done after the mistrial.
Did he see the note?
