Lindsay Clancy Hold-Out Juror NOT Subject to Interrogation!
For complete Medicare guidance, dial (617) 644-0093 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter Medicare Advisors.
Judge William Sullivan has denied Lindsay Clancy's motion for an evidentiary hearing on her post-mistrial motions.
Her defense wanted to call witnesses and present sworn evidence on November 2.
They argued that holdout juror Michael Desronvil lied on the jury questionnaire, used a cellphone during deliberations, and couldn't apply reasonable doubt as instructed.
Their theory is that the court should have questioned Desronvil and seated an alternate instead of declaring a mistrial.
If so, there was no "manifest necessity," and double jeopardy bars a retrial on the three murder indictments.
In a four-page order dated October 21, 2026, the court said no. Under Read v. Commonwealth (2025), manifest necessity is judged on what the judge knew when he declared the mistrial, not on what came out later in media reports.
The court also held it can't probe a juror's reasoning or the jury's deliberations (Commonwealth v. Ralph R.).
And it found the foreperson's notes naming Desronvil as the lone holdout were not ambiguous, so no further inquiry was required.
Attorney Andrew Branca breaks down the order, the law of manifest necessity, and what this means for Clancy's November 2 motion to dismiss and a possible retrial.

NOTE: We mostly ended up covering Bessent's recent speech last week at the Reagan Library.
Yesterday the great and powerful Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent absolutely WRECKED House Democrats during a hearing of the House Ways & Means Committee.
And that was only day after he had done the same to Senate Democrats in a hearing of the Senate Finance committee.
What is best in life, Bessent the Barbarian? To crush your Democrats, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their gender confused!
Trump just shared with America all the winning his administration has already secured for the nation, as well as all the winning coming down the road.
Yesterday was Trump’s 12th publicly aired cabinet meeting, all in his first 14 months in office. This contrasts sharpy with a mere three that Biden held in the same time frame of his administration.
Join me as I break down the second half of this lengthy cabinet meeting and celebrate all the winning.
