Clancy's attorney, Kevin Reddington, pushed for a trial this spring ... declaring, "I am not going to have this woman incarcerated for the next year or two or three." He also asked Sullivan to remain on the case.
Sullivan said a retrial could potentially be scheduled for March 2027 ... but took the matter under advisement.
8:29 AM PT -- Things got heated in court as Reddington went back and forth with Sullivan, arguing that a holdout juror had access to his phone during deliberations -- a potential violation of Massachusetts court rules, which prohibit jurors from using their phones or accessing the internet, social media or news reports during deliberations.
