The lone holdout juror whose refusal to find Lindsay Clancy not guilty by reason of insanity led to a mistrial is speaking publicly for the first time, disputing claims from fellow jurors that he expressed doubts about the prosecution's case, according to his attorney.
Attorney Edward Paltzik told Fox News Digital Friday that he represents the holdout juror, Michael P. Desronvil, whom he described as an "American Hero and Champion of Justice."
"Please pray for him and help us protect him," Paltzik wrote in a separate social media post.
He said his client is laying low in an undisclosed "rural area" in New England.
Paltzik, who previously represented the friends of the late Mississippi teen Nolan Wells and President Donald Trump, confirmed that the statement first reported by NewsNation, came from his client. Desronvil said that he never wavered in his belief prosecutors proved Clancy knew what she was doing when she strangled her three young children in January 2023.
"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.
"Based on all the physical evidence, key witnesses and what the prosecution presents, I thought it was enough proof that she knew exactly what she was doing and planned."
His comments directly contradict accounts from fellow jurors, who said after the mistrial that Desronvil appeared to acknowledge reasonable doubt during deliberations but still refused to join the other 11 jurors in finding Clancy not guilty by reason of insanity.
The jury deadlocked 11-1, with Desronvil standing alone in favor of convicting Clancy rather than accepting her insanity defense, prompting Judge William Sullivan to declare a mistrial.

It’s very sad that he should feel the need to retain a lawyer.
He needs to accept the DeSantis offer.
And it’s a damned shame he’s had to go into hiding....not surprising however.
Ping!
Can you imagine what he went through listening to those mindless harpies for seven days?
Agreed. I see no downside to it.
One of few I would welcome relocating to my state.
People can freely move in this country. Guess you didn’t know that.
Governors cannot offer asylum.
The juror is not coming to this country from another.
Locked in a room with 9 female yankee SJWs for almost 40 hours.
hell on earth to be sure.
” I kept getting cut off “
That’s how they argue. They do not let you finish a sentence to present your side. Now multiply that X9!..............😆
Yep. Just watch Scott Jennings on cnn if you can stand it.....poor guy can’t get one sentence in without interruption.
We don’t have CNN on our Direct TV package...............
I think you may be misinterpreting that Governor DeSantis said my friend.
His offer of “asylum” was figurative not some legal decree....he only means the man would be welcome in Florida.
Wow I’m surprised by that.
At least youtube tv let’s me remove channels from my guide....cnn was the 1st one I did away with.
One thing is for sure; she is a killer.
Massachusetts has resigned from America
Massachusetts should be purged from the Union
All we have is local ABC-NBC-CBS-CW-Fox Affiliates, no CNN, No MS Now, no FOX News, no propaganda.........
AWFLS MAKE MEN FLEE THE DEMOCRATS
Thank you for posting. This poor man is a hero and shouldn’t have to deal with all this.
