Lindsay Clancy holdout juror’s lawyer challenges claim he broke the law and more top headlines

In the Lindsay Clancy murder trial in Duxbury, Massachusetts, juror Michael P. Desronvil was the lone holdout after seven days of deliberations, refusing to find the defendant not criminally responsible for killing her three children. His vote led to a mistrial declared by Judge William Sullivan on September 4. In an interview with Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany, attorney Edward Paltzik stated that Desronvil had "zero doubt" and "a mountain of evidence" supporting his position that Clancy was criminally responsible despite her admission of the killings under claims of postpartum psychosis. The defense argued that Clancy's mental state at the time should have exempted her from criminal responsibility, but Desronvil held firm in his conviction.
