Holdout juror in Lindsay Clancy case speaks out: 'I didn't have any doubts'

Michael Péguy Desronvil, the holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, has broken his silence to insist that he had no doubt that she was guilty.

Desronvil was the sole juror to vote that way, and his insistence on that verdict led to a hung jury. Several other jurors criticized him to the media after the trial ended. While he had chosen to remain private, he was ultimately identified.

His attorney, Edward Paltzik, communicated his statement via social media.

"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 presented," he said. "Based on all the physical evidence, key witnesses, and what the prosecution presented, I thought it was enough proof that she (Clancy) knew exactly what she was doing and planned."

Clancy stands accused of murdering her three children. While she does not deny the act, she has argued that she should not be held criminally responsible due to severe mental illness.

She is likely to face a retrial, though the prosecutors could alter the charges.
