El único jurado que quería condenar a Lindsay Clancy dice que nunca dudó de su culpabilidad
Michael Desronvil, cuya identidad se desveló esta semana, dice en un comunicado que la enfermera acusada de matar a sus hijos “sabía lo que hacía”
Lindsay Clancy's trial ended in a mistrial after jurors failed to reach a unanimous verdict. One juror, Michael P Desronvil, held out for a guilty verdict, while the other 11 members of the Massachusetts jury backed finding Clancy not criminally responsible for the deaths of her three children.
According to Desronvil, he "didn't have any doubts" about his decision and believed that Clancy "knew exactly what she was doing and planned" based on the physical evidence, key witnesses, and what the prosecution presented. During deliberations, he tried to present different theories based on the evidence but felt he was being treated as though he had doubts about Clancy's criminal responsibility.
The jury deliberated for nearly 40 hours over seven days before the judge declared a mistrial on September 4. Desronvil has since released a statement explaining his vote and offering his account of the jury's deliberations, obtained by CBS News and NewsNation.
