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.

Then he should have said that and not used the word asylum.
It is an error on his part.
Never bother to waste time arguing with a woke arsehole. Gotta pin them down on minute points and say: “you are wrong on this” Now, on to the next point”. That is why when you try this they interrupt.
What I want to hear from are the two soy-boys who took a knee to the others. None of those female jurors looked like MILF’s. What were they hoping for?
One of the other male jurors has been interviewed.
The females had agreed amongst each other to some sort of ill conceived social justice statement by their verdict.
Totally agree. What we are witnessing here is liberalism rearing it’s ugly head to someone who would dare go against it’s vile beliefs.
Black men are helping to save this Nation.
ABOVE ALL, A BLACK CONSRRVATIVE.
Dunno if he’s a conservative...he may just be a rational-thinking liberal who didn’t think 3 children could be killed without anyone being held accountable.
I heard he was.
I agree this is not asylum. He would at least be welcomed in Florida.
Now this heroic juror’s name is public!
I hope that he and his family are well-protected. Lord have mercy!
