  "account": "A fundraiser for Michael Desronvil, the sole juror who advocated for convicting Lindsay Clancy in her high-profile Massachusetts murder trial, has surpassed the $300,000 mark on the crowdfunding platform GiveSendGo, according to recent reports. Clancy, 36, was charged with three counts of first-degree murder in connection with the deaths of her children - Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months - in January 2023. Her defense team argued that postpartum psychosis had rendered her not criminally responsible for their demise. After a seven-day deliberation among the 12 jurors, they were unable to reach a unanimous decision, leading Judge William Sullivan to declare a mistrial. In a statement on Friday, Jacob Wells, co-founder of GiveSendGo, confirmed that Desronvil and his attorney, Edward Paltzik, had been contacted. Wells stated that Desronvil has been added to the campaign as its recipient, and the identity has been verified. The fundraiser, which had a goal of $350,000, has raised around $329,000 as of early Saturday. Newsweek is seeking further information on this story from Edward Pearcey.",
