Lindsay Clancy case: defense seeks probe of holdout juror who forced mistrial
–
Neutral summary
The trial of Lindsay Clancy, accused of murdering her three children in January 2023, ended in a mistrial after jurors failed to reach a unanimous verdict: eleven of twelve jurors were ready to clear her of criminal responsibility, but the lone holdout, Michael Desronvil, insisted on conviction. Clancy's defense has filed a motion to dismiss the case and asked the judge to investigate Desronvil's conduct, including alleged cellphone use during deliberations and his truthfulness on a jury questionnaire. Desronvil's attorney has fired back, branding the motion a “full-frontal attack on the US Constitution,” with Fox News reporting he also called it a “Looney Tunes motion.” Meanwhile, Patrick Clancy, Lindsay's ex-husband, spoke publicly for the first time in a “60 Minutes” interview aired Sunday, saying he forgives her and attributing the tragedy to her mental illness. Desronvil, who has reportedly faced death threats, shared photos of himself with his newborn daughter as a fundraiser for him topped $350,000. Le Figaro also reports that the trial has spawned a commercial ecosystem on TikTok, including merchandise, paid content, and over $600,000 in bets.
