The proceedings against Lindsay Clancy ended in a mistrial and acrimony this month after the jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict.

Her attorney, Kevin Reddington, wants the court to probe mobile phone use by "Juror Doe" during deliberations as well as a questionnaire he filled out.

A lawyer for Michael Desronvil, the lone juror who wanted to find Clancy guilty, said the latest defence motion was a "Looney Tunes" attack on his client for doing his civic duty. Desronvil has said there was "enough proof that she [Clancy] knew exactly what she was doing".
