A NEW DETAIL DRAWS ATTENTION IN THE LINDSAY CLANCY CASE — AND IT CENTERS ON THE LONE HOLDOUT JUROR

A new development has placed the focus back on the jury room in the Lindsay Clancy case.

After Clancy’s murder trial ended in a mistrial, her defense team is now asking a judge to examine the conduct of the lone juror who remained opposed to finding her not criminally responsible.

That juror has been identified as Michael Desronvil.

The five-week trial ended September 4 after seven days of deliberations failed to produce a unanimous verdict.

Several jurors later said the panel had reached an 11–1 split, with 11 jurors prepared to find Clancy not criminally responsible and Desronvil remaining on the other side.

Desronvil has publicly defended his position.

In a statement released through his attorney, he said he “didn’t have any doubts” and believed the physical evidence, witnesses and prosecution’s case showed that Clancy knew what she was doing and had planned the killings.

Now, Clancy’s attorneys want the court to investigate several issues involving the juror.

One request concerns whether he used a cellphone during deliberations. Phone use by jurors during deliberations is prohibited, and the defense has asked the court to obtain records showing calls or texts made during the deliberation period.

The defense is also asking questions about information Desronvil provided during jury selection and whether he accurately answered questionnaires and later questions from the judge.

Those issues have not been resolved.

There is also no finding that Desronvil committed misconduct, and his attorney has defended his conduct and his position during deliberations.

The development comes as Clancy’s attorneys separately ask the judge to dismiss the murder charges rather than allow a second trial, arguing that the mistrial should not have been declared in the first place.

The judge has scheduled a hearing for September 29.

Prosecutors have not yet announced whether they intend to retry Clancy.

For now, the case remains without a verdict.

And the next chapter may depend not only on what happened inside the Clancy family home in 2023 — but also on what happened inside the jury room nearly four years later.
