He took diligent notes. He seemed to laugh along with Kevin Reddington's courtroom moments. And when Lindsay Clancy's jury became deadlocked 11-1, almost no one who watched him in that courtroom expected he'd be the one holding out for guilty.

In this episode of Criminally Obsessed, investigative reporter Anne Emerson speaks with Sierra Gillespie, host of Law & Crime's "Scandal," who covered the trial in person from jury selection through the final verdict.

Gillespie describes what it was like watching juror Michael Desronvil over six and a half weeks — and why nothing about his demeanor signaled he'd become the lone holdout standing between Clancy and a not-guilty verdict.

Gillespie breaks down what's now surfaced about Desronvil's past, including a 2021 domestic violence incident and an active protective order at the time he served on the jury, and explains why defense attorney Kevin Reddington is now demanding his phone records, background, and jury questionnaire. Reddington will make those arguments in front of the judge at the next hearing on November 2nd. 

During today's hearing, Reddington argued Lindsay Clancy should be found not guilty due to the lack of evidence beyond a reasonable doubt presented at trial. The Commonwealth called his argument laughable. The judge took both sides under advisement.
