Juror who blocked Lindsay Clancy verdict disputes fellow jurors' claims: report
The juror said prosecutors proved Clancy knew what she was doing, as prosecutors consider whether to retry the case after a 11-1 deadlock.
- Lone holdout juror Michael P. Desronvil broke his silence mid-September, stating he "didn't have any doubts" that prosecutors proved Clancy knew what she was doing when she killed her three children.
- Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial on September 4 after the 12-member jury deadlocked 11-1 following over 38 hours of deliberations regarding whether Clancy was criminally responsible for her three children's deaths in January 2023.
- Jury foreperson Roni Carlson alleged that Desronvil admitted to having reasonable doubt during deliberations, contradicting his claim he never wavered; Kellie Farina said he "completely disregarded the information" jurors provided.
- Attorney Edward Andrew Paltzik, representing Desronvil, stated the juror is "safe and sound" at an undisclosed Northern New England location after facing doxxing and threats; Judge Sullivan sealed juror identities citing safety concerns.
- Prosecutors face a September 29 status hearing to decide whether to retry Clancy, while her defense has suggested resolving the case without a new trial, raising questions about securing a unanimous verdict.
