Lindsay Clancy attorney Kevin Reddington made several attempts to convince the judge not to declare a mistrial

The defence lawyer for a Massachusetts mother accused of murdering her three children has asked a judge to investigate a juror in the case.

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

In his motion filed on Friday, Reddington asked the court to look at calls and texts that "Juror Doe" made between 08:00 and 16:30 local time during all the days the jury deliberated.
