Holdout Juror in Lindsay Clancy Mistrial, Michael P. Desronvil, Speaks out for First Time after Intense Backlash

The holdout juror who sparked a mistrial in Lindsay Clancy’s Massachusetts murder trial has spoken out publicly for the first time to defend himself amid an online frenzy — as his lawyer dubbed him “an American Hero and Champion of Justice” who loves the USA and President Trump.

Michael P. Desronvil, 48, clapped back at accusations from fellow jurors that he refused to budge on his belief Clancy was guilty of murdering her three kids despite expressing doubts.

“I didn’t have any doubts. As I tried to explain different possible theories during deliberation, I kept getting cut off as if I had doubts based on the evidence present,” Desronvil said in a statement to News Nation on Thursday. “Based on all the physical evidence, key witnesses, and what the prosecution presents, I thought it was enough proof that she [Clancy] knew exactly what she was doing and planned.”

Desronvil — a father from a Haitian immigrant family and a devout Christian with a history of abuse allegations — was the lone juror who refused to find Clancy not guilty of murder by reason of insanity, a decision which turned the six-week trial on its head and dragged him to the center of the explosive case.

The Bridgewater resident comes from a large family of Haitian immigrants who moved to the US and settled in Massachusetts in 1982, meaning he would have been about 4 years old when he arrived in America.
