Holdout juror in Lindsay Clancy trial says he "didn't have any doubts" during deliberations
CBS News • • nation
Key Points:
- The lone holdout juror, Michael Desronvil, stated he had no doubts about Lindsay Clancy's criminal responsibility in the murder of her three children, believing the evidence proved she planned the killings.
- The jury deadlocked after seven days of deliberations, unable to reach a unanimous verdict on Clancy's criminal responsibility, resulting in a mistrial declared by Judge William Sullivan.
- Jurors reportedly tried to convince Desronvil to change his mind, but he remained firm in his belief that Clancy was guilty, while most other jurors leaned toward finding her not criminally responsible due to mental illness.
- Desronvil has faced online criticism and was placed in a secure location under the protection of his new attorney, Edward Andrew Paltzik, who condemned attacks against him.
- The district attorney has not yet decided on a retrial, with the next court hearing scheduled for September 29 at Plymouth Superior Court.
