Lindsay Clancy’s defense laywer asks judge to investigate lone juror

The Guardian US reports that the defense lawyers for Lindsay Clancy, who is accused of murdering her three young children, have requested a judge to investigate the behavior of the sole juror who favored a guilty verdict. The lawyers filed a motion on Friday but announced it publicly on Monday. In their request, they seek to interrogate the juror regarding his alleged use of a cellphone during the deliberation process, his honesty on a questionnaire completed by prospective jurors prior to the trial, and his truthfulness during a judge-led questioning session just before the trial concluded.
