Lindsay Clancy holdout juror finally appears on camera — and has one request for everyone watching

BS BULLETIN:

Michael Desronvil, the lone holdout juror in Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial, has appeared on camera in a new video after weeks of controversy surrounding the mistrial.
Desronvil thanked people who have supported him and credited his Catholic faith with helping him through the backlash.
But his main message was that the attention should move away from him and back to Clancy’s three children: Cora, Dawson and Callan.

The man at the center of the Lindsay Clancy mistrial has finally stepped in front of a camera.

And he doesn’t want the story to be about him.

EXCLUSIVE: The juror at the center of the Lindsay Clancy mistrial controversy is breaking his silence for the first time in video exclusively obtained by ‘Hannity,’ but says the attention should be on the three children whose deaths were at the heart of the case.

Michael Desronvil was the lone juror who refused to join the other 11 jurors in finding Clancy not criminally responsible for killing her three young children.

That 11–1 deadlock resulted in a mistrial earlier this month and turned Desronvil into one of the most scrutinized jurors in America.

Now he’s speaking directly to the public.

In a prerecorded video aired exclusively on “Hannity,” Desronvil thanked the people who have supported him through what he called a difficult situation.

He also credited his Catholic faith and his love for his daughter with helping him through the extraordinary attention that followed the trial.

But then Desronvil tried to turn that attention somewhere else.

“I know the whole focus has been on me, but we want to reel everything back and put the focus on the three angels.”

Those “three angels,” he said, are Cora, Dawson and Callan — Clancy’s three children.

Desronvil said they are the ones who cannot speak for themselves or fight their own battles.

It’s a striking public appearance after weeks in which virtually everyone else involved in the jury drama seemed to be speaking about him.

Several fellow jurors publicly criticized Desronvil following the mistrial, accusing him of refusing to properly apply the law governing Clancy’s insanity defense.

Desronvil has strongly denied those allegations.

His attorney, Edward Paltzik, says Desronvil had no doubt about Clancy’s criminal responsibility and has defended his right to reach his own conclusion from the evidence rather than follow the other 11 jurors.

The scrutiny has extended well beyond what happened inside the jury room.

Questions have also been raised about Desronvil’s background and whether information should have been disclosed during jury selection. Clancy’s defense has sought an inquiry into his conduct.

Desronvil, meanwhile, has received substantial public support as the controversy exploded.

Now he’s thanking those supporters while asking them to remember why there was a trial in the first place.

The timing couldn’t be more significant.

Clancy returns to court Tuesday as her attorneys try to prevent prosecutors from putting her on trial again.

Her defense argues that the mistrial should not permit another prosecution and has also challenged the circumstances surrounding the deadlocked jury.

Prosecutors have not yet publicly announced whether they intend to retry Clancy on first-degree murder charges, pursue lesser charges or take another course.

Clancy does not dispute killing her children in January 2023.

The central question at trial was whether severe mental illness left her criminally responsible for what she did.

Eleven jurors ultimately said no.

Michael Desronvil said yes.

And for the first time, Americans can now hear directly from the man whose single vote kept the case from ending there.

MY QUICK TAKE

We’ve spent weeks talking about the 11 jurors, the one juror, the lawyers, the accusations, the insanity defense and whether Michael Desronvil filled out a questionnaire correctly.

Three little children somehow became supporting characters in the story of their own deaths.

You can believe Lindsay Clancy was desperately mentally ill.

You can believe the other 11 jurors correctly applied the law.

You can believe Desronvil got it wrong.

But asking America to remember the three children whose deaths put everybody in that courtroom isn’t controversial.

It may be the least controversial thing anybody has said about this case.
