Holdout juror in Lindsay Clancy murder trial breaks silence, says evidence proved she "planned" killings
The lone holdout juror who forced a mistrial in the Lindsay Clancy murder case is pushing back on fellow jurors' accounts of deliberations, insisting he never wavered in his belief that prosecutors proved Clancy killed her three children knowingly.Michael P. Desronvil, 48, released a written statement through his representative Ray Marcel defending his refusal to join the other eleven jurors in finding Clancy not criminally responsible.
In the statement, obtained by CBS News, Desronvil said flatly: "I didn't have any doubts." He added that the physical evidence, key witnesses, and the prosecution's case amounted to "enough proof that she knew exactly what she was doing and planned."
That account directly contradicts what other jurors have said publicly. Fellow juror Paula Devlin told "CBS Mornings" co-host Gayle King that the panel worked together to try to reach consensus, and that the split at one point stood at 10-2 before narrowing to 11-1, with Desronvil as the sole holdout. Several jurors and Clancy's defense attorney have described the final tally as 11-1 in favor of finding Clancy not criminally responsible by reason of insanity.
Desronvil says jurors "cut him off" during deliberations. The jury deliberated for more than 38 hours over the course of a week, according to Breitbart, which reported that Desronvil described eight of the twelve jurors as favoring a not-guilty verdict from day one.

Through his representative, Desronvil characterized those jurors as behaving like "activists" pushing for acquittal before deliberations had meaningfully begun.

It sounds like the black male only male on the jury had the only sound finding from the case, now they are all attacking him. She is guilty, she planned it out and did it even admitted it, she is a sick killer!
ReplyDeleteRemember we live in an upside down world again where good is bad and bad is good a killer is good and somebody innocent is bad like a white american-born person we are bad. We live in an upside down world so put your faith in God follow Jesus try to make getting into heaven your number one priority that's all we can do in this life!
ReplyDeleteYes right! Like all these crazies that they care so much about saving rescue dogs but then they're so pro-abortion and killing babies they care more about saving dogs than they do about human beings and babies in the womb another example of upside down thinking and flawed logic from the liberal left lunatics!
