BOSTON — The judge in the Lindsay Clancy triple murder case is indefinitely impounding more jury information.

Judge William Sullivan issued orders Tuesday extending impoundment orders for the jury confidential questionnaires and the jury pool list.

Last week, Sullivan indefinitely impounded the list of 12 deliberating jurors and six alternates who sat for the case.

The language of the two orders is nearly identical to each other, and the orders from Judge Sullivan already signed. They cite the intense scrutiny of the case and concerns for jurors’ safety as reasons for keeping the information out of the public eye.

“Based on the circumstances of this trial and post-trial circumstances and the fact that the case continues to receive daily, divisive attention in Massachusetts and beyond,” Sullivan wrote, “the Court concludes that there is a real and present ‘risk of (personal) harm to the jurors (and) to the integrity of their service.’”

Since Sullivan declared a mistrial in the case earlier this month, some jurors have chosen to come forward and specifically call out one holdout panelist who they said expressed doubt in the case and refused to follow the law.

The juror, Michael Peguy Desronvil, made a statement through his attorney saying that he did not express any doubt and felt that Clancy understood her actions when she killed her children.

Clancy is accused of murdering Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, eight months, in January of 2023. Her defense attorney, Kevin Reddington, argued during her trial that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time and can’t be held criminally responsible for the deaths.

Reddington has also requested an inquiry into Desronvil, asking for information about any criminal and domestic violence cases he may be involved in, as well as data from his cell phone use during deliberations.

Desronvil’s lawyer Edward Andrew Paltzik called the motion for an inquiry “an attack” on his client and the Constitution.

It’s not clear if Clancy will be tried again. The Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office has not announced a decision, saying they will do so in a formal court proceeding.

Reddington has also filed motions for a required finding of not guilty in the case and to dismiss it altogether that haven’t been addressed yet by the court.

The first hearing in the case since the mistrial was declared is scheduled for Tuesday.
