Juror who blocked Lindsay Clancy verdict disputes fellow jurors' claims: report
- Michael Desronvil, the lone holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, spoke out on Friday, September 18, 2026, saying he "didn't have any doubts" about Clancy's criminal responsibility in the deaths of her three children.
- Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial on September 4 after the jury deadlocked 11-1 during deliberations, with Desronvil refusing to vote for acquittal by reason of insanity despite 11 jurors favoring that verdict.
- Media reports revealed Desronvil's past legal issues, including a dismissed 2021 domestic violence charge and an active restraining order, while supporters raised more than $300,000 on GiveSendGo following the intense scrutiny.
- Citing "real and present risk" of harm, Judge Sullivan indefinitely shielded the names of the 12 jurors and six alternates; Florida Governor Ron DeSantis publicly offered the juror "asylum" in Florida.
- Clancy is scheduled to return to court on September 29, 2026, where her defense team will argue to dismiss the charges on double-jeopardy grounds rather than face a second trial.
