“[The other jurors] know that they were robbed — by one man — for whatever his agenda was, who stole seven weeks of the life of these other jurors that were so attentive, so beautiful, so wonderful and listened to this evidence,” Clancy’s attorney told this to reporters after leaving the courthouse following a mistrial. “Robbed?” Jurors don’t own the case! “Agenda?” The not-guilty jurors have clearly stated in many interviews that they had an agenda! The 12th juror did not.
Clancy’s lawyers have filed a motion with the court to investigate the conduct of the lone black juror who wanted to convict the mother from Massachusetts of first degree murder in the systematic slaughter of her three children, Cora age 5, Dawson age 3 and Callan age 8 months. Can we truly call ourselves civilized if this ex-mother is acquitted?
THE LIBERAL WHITE WOMEN HAVE BEEN ALL OVER TV DISCUSSING THEIR AGENDA!
If the judge orders an investigation into Michael Desronvil and none of the other jurors, we could see the end of jury trials as we know them. No American would be willing to serve on a jury, especially in Blue States IF he or she thinks there is a possibility his or her life will be turned upside down and splashed all over the media, then forced into hiding, like Michael, because the Liberals on the jury don’t like his or her jury vote. I call this “low level terrorism” because violence is not involved.
Kevin Reddington, Clancy’s trial attorney, is seeking the lone Republican juror’s confidential juror questionnaire and any supplemental filings, probation records and “Juror Doe’s record from the statewide domestic violence registry.” He is asking the judge to require prosecutors to divulge whether it has had any contact with the Michael as a defendant, complainant or subject going back to January 2021. How is that related to the murder of three children?
Additionally, Reddington is looking for Michael’s phone records between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on each deliberation day and asking for the court to order an independent examination into his phone use during the deliberation period. Lastly, he wants Michael to be grilled regarding the truthfulness of his juror questionnaire and voir dire answers, his statements to the court on September 3rd, and the use of a phone or outside information during deliberations.
To protect jurors in the future, the judge should reject all Reddington’s requests; however, IF he grants such an outrageous demand, without treating the other eleven juries the same way, it will signal the beginning of the end for diversity in jury pools, jurors who think for themselves, and perhaps for the jury system as a whole. Conservatives, Republicans, et al have been persecuted within so many spheres of life these last few decades that only Liberals will be willing to serve on juries. Everyone else who receives jury summons will create excuses why they can’t serve.
DOUBLE JEOPARDY?
Clancy’s lawyers have also asked the judge to dismiss the criminal case, claiming any successive trial would violate her double jeopardy rights. Both this request and the one to investigate a lone juror are absurd. Double jeopardy only attaches after there has been a conviction. Assuming the judge rules that a juror did something wrong, the remedy is a mistrial. The judge already declared a mistrial on September 4th.
Prosecutors have yet to say whether they plan on putting Clancy on trial again. She remains charged with triple murder and is in a psychiatric hospital until her case is resolved. The next hearing date is scheduled for September 29th. Clancy’s lawyers have argued that the judge should have replaced Michael Desronvil with an alternate juror during the deliberations after the Liberal jury foreperson complained to the judge that one juror was refusing to listen to the law on reasonable doubt.
In a statement released by his lawyer last week, Edward Paltzik, Desronvil said he “didn’t have any doubts” that Clancy knew what she was doing when she killed her three children. “As I tried to explain different possible theories during deliberation, I kept getting cut off as if I had doubts based on the evidence present,” he said in his statement. “Based on all the physical evidence, key witnesses, and what the prosecution presents, I thought it was enough proof that she knew exactly what she was doing and planned,” the statement continued.
A spokesperson for Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz would not comment on the motions. Desronvil hasn’t been accused of any wrongdoing in connection with his service on the jury, though other jurors, four white women and one white man, complained that he was inflexible in his opinion that Clancy was guilty.
PATRICK CLANCY’S LAWSUIT IS PENDING
Reddington’s motions come as Clancy’s ex-husband, Patrick Clancy, sat down for an interview with “60 Minutes” to talk about the illness he believes his then-wife was battling when she killed their three children. Hoping to get a huge settlement from a lawsuit and showing remarkedly little bitterness toward the woman who killed his three children, Clancy told correspondent Ross Douthat, “I think we can find a compassionate way to deal with these tragedies. . . And that, that doesn’t mean no accountability,” Clancy said. “It just means that we recognize the suffering and the stigma, and we try to find a way to prevent this from happening in the future. That’s always how I’ve looked at it.”
Clancy can’t blame his ex-wife because he hopes to obtain millions in the wrongful death civil lawsuit he filed against his ex-wife’s medical providers and clinics. The lawsuit alleges medical malpractice and negligence, arguing that her mental health providers mis-prescribed a cocktail of powerful psychiatric medications and failed to adequately monitor her rapidly deteriorating condition, leading to the murder of his three children.
