Proceedings also focused on a conflict between the defense and Michael Desronvil, the sole juror who refused to acquit Clancy in an 11-1 mistrial. Desronvil's lawyer, Edward Paltzik, is filing a bar complaint against Reddington for allegedly targeting the juror, while the defense has asked the court to investigate Desronvil's phone use and jury questionnaire answers. To prevent a "carnival atmosphere," the prosecution has moved to preclude extrajudicial media comments and requested a gag order against Reddington.

Defense attorney Kevin Reddington questioned the existence of evidence that Clancy killed her three children in 2023, marking a sharp reversal from the team's previous strategy which argued she was not criminally responsible due to mental illness. The hearing concluded without a retrial date, and a follow-up court appearance is scheduled for November.
