Fox News • • nation
Key Points:
- The lone holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy murder case, Michael P. Desronvil, has hired attorney Edward Paltzik, known for representing former President Donald Trump in multiple high-profile lawsuits.
- Desronvil maintains his belief that the prosecution proved Clancy’s guilt in the deaths of her three children, stating he was cut off during jury deliberations but stood firm on the evidence presented.
- Attorney Paltzik praised Desronvil as an "American hero" and emphasized focusing on his health and well-being, while indicating there will be a future time for accountability and the full story to be told.
- Legal experts suggest Desronvil’s decision to retain counsel signals his intent to defend his reputation amid public and legal scrutiny following the mistrial declared due to the 11-1 jury split.
- Plymouth County prosecutors are considering whether to retry Clancy, with her defense team open to a potential resolution without a second jury trial; a status hearing is scheduled for September 29.
