Juror who blocked Lindsay Clancy verdict disputes fellow jurors' claims: report
Jurors say the holdout could not cite evidence as the defense seeks to block a retrial after the 11-1 deadlock.
- The jury in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial deadlocked 11-1 on September 18, with Michael P. Desronvil alone favoring conviction, prompting Judge William Sullivan to declare a mistrial.
- Clancy pleaded not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility for the January 2023 deaths of her three children—Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months—in Duxbury, Massachusetts, citing severe mental illness.
- Desronvil told NewsNation he never wavered in believing prosecutors proved Clancy understood her actions; fellow jurors contradicted him, saying he appeared to concede reasonable doubt yet refused to join the 11 others in an insanity acquittal.
- Judge Sullivan sealed jurors' identities and questionnaires over safety concerns as Clancy is scheduled to return to Plymouth Superior Court on September 29, when prosecutors will decide whether to pursue a retrial.
- Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley noted prosecutors face a difficult path, stating "the question is whether they could ever get a jury, particularly in Massachusetts, that would unanimously vote against this defendant." Retrial remains uncertain.
