Juror Breaks Silence on Mistrial
21 Sep
Summary
- A juror revealed why he disagreed with other jurors.
- He believed Clancy was guilty and planned her actions.
- The disagreement led to a mistrial on September 4.

A juror involved in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial has shared his perspective on the deliberations that ultimately led to a mistrial. This juror, identified as Michael P. Desronvil, was the only male member of the jury and held out against a unanimous not guilty verdict by reason of insanity.
Desronvil stated on September 17 that he had "no doubts" about Clancy's guilt and believed the physical evidence and prosecution's case sufficiently proved she was aware of her actions and had planned them. He expressed frustration, claiming that during deliberations, his attempts to explain his theories were interrupted, giving the impression he had doubts based on the evidence.
The judge declared a mistrial on September 4 due to the jury's inability to reach a unanimous decision. Desronvil maintained nearly two weeks later that he stands by his conclusion, believing there was enough proof of Clancy's intent and planning.
