Who the heck knows what the other jurors are up to? And, if Reddington really wants to go back to the courtroom now to punish a juror who didn\u2019t vote how he wanted them to, how many others will get in trouble?<\/p>\n<p>America is watching, and Reddington should know he still has a client to defend and that his decision to try to aim the legal system at citizens simply doing their job as jurors won\u2019t end well for him.<\/p>\n<p>He has Massachusetts\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/massachusetts-inverted-burden-proof-standard-made-lindsay-clancy-guilty-verdict-incredibly-hard-deliver\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">insanely liberal insanity plea laws<\/a> on his side and he probably shouldn\u2019t hurt his cause any more than it\u2019s already been hurt.

NewsNation reports that juror Michael P. Desronvil, who triggered a mistrial by voting not guilty, allegedly used his phone during deliberations despite court bans. Reddington seeks to examine his phone data after he was the only holdout. The other jurors believed Clancy was insane when she killed her children but were prohibited from using phones to research outside info. Desronvil\u2019s spokesman claimed all jurors had their phones and some posted on social media during deliberation. Reddington\u2019s motion asks the judge to review Desronvil\u2019s phone records and question him about outside information use and honesty during jury selection. The judge previously rejected attempts to remove Desronvil, who strongly believed in Clancy\u2019s guilt despite some doubts from others.
