Weinberg wraps his arguments, asking the judge to dismiss on the grounds of Clancy's rights to a fair jury trial and not to face double jeopardy. Weinberg's argument hinged heavily on two notes from the jury foreperson accusing holdout juror Michael Desronvil of refusing to apply the law to his vote in deliberations. (No one is naming Desronvil in court due to an impoundment order, but he has spoken publicly about the case. They refer to him as Juror Doe or Juror X.) ADA Sprague is now arguing for the Commonwealth. She says the notes amount to the foreperson's opinion and don't mean the holdout broke the law.
