The lone juror whose position led to a mistrial in Lindsay Clancy’s case is urging supporters to shift attention away from him and toward the “three angels” the Massachusetts mother strangled.
“I know the whole focus has been on me, but we want to reel everything back and put the focus on the three angels,” juror Michael P. Desronvil said in an exclusive clip broadcast on Fox News’ “Hannity.”
“The ones that can’t speak for themselves. The ones that can’t defend themselves, and the ones that can’t fight their battles. And those are Cora, Dawson, and Callan,” Desronvil said.
Desronvil, a devout Catholic and Haitian immigrant, was thrust into the spotlight after being identified as the juror whose disagreement resulted in a hung jury in Clancy’s triple-murder case.
He rejected the conclusion reached by the other 11 jurors, who found Clancy not criminally responsible for the deaths of her children—5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and 8-month-old Callan—at the family’s home in Duxbury, Massachusetts, in January 2023, citing insanity.
The shocking outcome faced additional scrutiny after reports surfaced that Desronvil had a history of alleged domestic violence, an active restraining order against him and an open eviction case stemming from unpaid rent.
At the same time, Desronvil received an outpouring of support, with donors contributing to a fund intended to help cover his legal expenses and lost income amid the potential fallout.
Desronvil expressed gratitude to those who stood by him during what he called a “difficult time.”
“A little bit about me, I want to thank God for my Catholic faith. I want to thank God for blessing me with the ability to love my daughter. And I foremost would like to thank everyone, every individual that has supported me throughout this difficult situation.”
“Your prayers, your emotional support, your psychological support is tremendous to my heart. I feel that, I sense that, I know that. I do want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you.”
