Kevin Reddington, the attorney who defended Clancy, has pushed for access to the holdout juror's cell phone, according to Fox News, which detailed implications of that request from the defense.

Reddington faced questions over his comments targeting the lone holdout juror and responded with irritation when pressed on the matter, according to Townhall.

According to The Western Journal, the holdout juror plans to take an aggressive step in response to what the outlet described as abuse, though details of that plan were not specified in the available material.

A letter to the editor published by The Washington Times suggested that Clancy's attorney, rather than the holdout juror, should be the subject of scrutiny. NewsNation separately raised the question of whether the holdout juror could face investigation.
