Juror Michael P. Desronvil, a holdout in the Lindsay Clancy case, says some fellow jurors used phones during deliberations, according to reports. He claims this included accessing information during the trial’s decision-making period.
The allegation centers on whether jurors violated rules that prohibit researching or using devices during deliberations. One outlet says the jurors broke a “cardinal rule” by using phones to research the defendant, while another reports that Desronvil alleges jurors also posted to social media during deliberations. The accounts describe the same core claim—device use and potential information access by jurors during deliberation—but differ in how specifically they characterize the alleged activity.
Both reports attribute the claims to Desronvil or a spokesperson connected to him and focus on what he says fellow jurors did, not on any final adjudication of the allegation or findings from authorities or the court. The reports indicate the issue is tied to the integrity of the deliberation process and juror compliance with instructions.
