Holdout juror in Lindsay Clancy trial 'didn't have any doubts' she was guilty
The lone juror who wanted to convict Lindsay Clancy of murder for killing her three children said he was certain of her guilt, but that other jurors would not listen to him, in his first public comments on the case.
Michael Desronvil, the lone holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, revealed he had no doubts about Clancy's criminal responsibility. Desronvil, represented by attorney Edward Andrew Paltzik, stated in a statement that the physical evidence, key witnesses, and prosecution's arguments were sufficient proof of Clancy's intent and planning.
The jury deadlocked on Sept. 4, the seventh day of deliberations, leading to a mistrial. Paula Devlin, another juror, mentioned they tried to influence Desronvil, but he remained firm. Desronvil recently accused of domestic violence, pleaded not guilty, and the charge was later dropped. The mistrial's impact on Clancy's future retrial remains uncertain.
