Juror who blocked Lindsay Clancy verdict disputes fellow jurors' claims: report
- Michael P. Desronvil, the lone juror who opposed acquitting Lindsay Clancy, said he had “no doubts” that she understood and planned her actions.
- The jury deadlocked 11–1 after more than six weeks of testimony and over 38 hours of deliberation, leading Judge William Sullivan to declare a mistrial on September 4.

- Prosecutors have not said whether they will retry Clancy, while her lawyer has requested an acquittal; a hearing on the case’s next steps is scheduled for September 29.
