  Speaker 1: Welcome back. Breaking just moments ago, two new moves from
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Lindsey Clancy's defense attorney after her murder trial ended with
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: one holdout juror. Her attorney wants that single juror now questioned,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: also wants his phone records examined, while also asking the
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: judge to end the case without having a retrial. The
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: defense arguing the prosecution's own evidence. failed to prove that
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Lindsay Clancy was criminally responsible for the murders of her
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: three children. National correspondent Brian Yannis is tracking it for us.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: He joins us live in New York with more. Brian,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: you've been all over this case from the beginning. What
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: can you tell us?
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Well, Bill, good afternoon. Lindsay Clancy's attorney, Kevin Reddington, filed
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: a motion in court asking the judge to further question
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: the loan holdout juror in court about whether he lied
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: on his juror questionnaire or void dear by failing to
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: mention a prior domestic violence incident. and a restraining order
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: against him. Reddington is asking, quote, that the court examine
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: juror Doe on the record with counsel present on three
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: subjects only, the truthfulness of the questionnaire and void Deere's answers,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: the sworn assurance of September 3rd, 2026, and the use
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: of a mobile telephone or receipt of outside information during deliberations.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: The inquiry will not touch the substance of deliberations. Reddington
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: is asking the court for all 18 confidential juror questionnaires,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: and he wants to review the lone holdout juror's cell
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: phone records between the hours.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Of 8.30 a.m.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: And 4.30 p.m. on all of the deliberation days. Reddington
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: has also asked that juror Nick Dargy be potentially questioned
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: as well about the holdout juror's alleged use of a
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: cell phone during deliberations. Dargy said the holdout juror was
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: essentially disengaged, quote, scrolling on his phone while people were
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: talking to him. Michael Duranville has been identified as the
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: holdout juror. He's been attacked by four other jurors who
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: have spoken out publicly, accused of not following the law
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: on reasonable doubt. He has said, though, in a statement
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: that he did not have any doubts, that he tried
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: to explain different possible theories during deliberations, but that he
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: kept getting cut off as if he had doubts. He
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: says there was enough proof that Lindsey Clancy knew what
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: she was doing and planned it. He's now represented by
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: a defamation attorney. So ultimately here we have a September
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: 29th court date in which Kevin Reddington will present his
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: case as to why he thinks Lindsey Clancy should be
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: found not guilty by lack of criminal responsibility. He says
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: because of a lack of evidence. And then on top
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: of that, he is hoping the judge on that day
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: will accept a motion to further question this lone holdout juror,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Michael Duronville, on his actions during deliberations today. And then
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: on top of all of that, Bill, we know that
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Reddington is also looking to file a motion on dismissing
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: this entire case on motions of double jeopardy. So they
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: are trying everything they can here to ensure that Lindsay
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Clancy does not find her way in prison and does
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: not find that we do not have another trial here.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: And, Brian, I'm really interested in this segment of the
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: motion where the defense, you just mentioned it, is asking
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: for this holdout juror's cell phone records between 8.30 a.m.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: and 4.30 p.m. every day of deliberations. There were accusations
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: from the other jurors he was just endlessly scrolling and
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: not really paying attention. Give us some thoughts, some color
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: on what you think Kevin Reddington might find on that phone.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Does he think this juror was talking to other people
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: or was just surfing the Internet and not paying attention?
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Well, I think it all speaks to the fact that
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Kevin Reddington is trying to essentially find out if, in fact,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: perhaps this holdout juror was breaking the law by searching articles,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: for instance, on this case. That might be a possibility. Essentially,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: he wants to see all the records to figure anything
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: out here. Was he completely disengaged? That could also be
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: part of his argument as to why he thinks this
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: holdout juror should not have been a part of this case. So, honestly,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: when you're asking for cell phone records for all of
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: those days, I think it could be anything. And the
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: bottom line here is I think you're going to hear
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: from a lot of critics in all of this is, well,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: if you're going to pull the cell phone records of
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: the holdout juror, Michael Duronville, Are you going to pull
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: the cell phone records of the other 11 jurors who
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: happened to vote against you or for you, I should say?
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: So in that case, I think you're going to have
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: a lot of discussions here about what about their cell
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: phone records and also what about their potential criminal histories
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: and run ins with the law? And did any of
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: them lie also on the questionnaire? So Reddington is focused
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: on this holdout juror because he's the one guy that
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: did not vote his way. But there's me a lot
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: of questions here about, well, what about the others, Bill?
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Yep, some really good points there on this very, very
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: interesting development in this national case. Brian Yannis, as usual,
• 4:48
