Lawyer Shares Pic of Holdout Juror in Lindsay Clancy Mistrial Holding Baby Daughter: ‘American Hero’

His attorney says he received death threats and doxxing after the 11-1 deadlock, while a fundraiser has raised more than $350,000.

  • On Saturday, September 19, Michael Desronvil, the lone holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, shared newborn photos with his daughter while his attorney, Edward Andrew Paltzik, cited ongoing death threats and harassment.
  • Massachusetts Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial on September 4 after an 11-1 jury deadlock, with Desronvil standing alone against 11 jurors who accepted Clancy's defense that she was not criminally responsible for killing her three children.
  • Attorney Edward Paltzik, hired Thursday, September 17, launched a fundraising campaign that raised more than $350,000 to cover security costs, legal fees and lost income following the threats and harassment.
  • CBS News reported Desronvil faced a domestic violence accusation five years prior, a charge later dismissed, while Desronvil claims his identity as a Black Republican contributed to the hostility directed at him.
  • While Desronvil maintains he had no doubts regarding Clancy's criminal responsibility, several fellow jurors dispute this account, saying he expressed hesitation during deliberations but ultimately refused to change his vote.
