The juror identified as the lone holdout in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial has spoken publicly about the deliberations, saying he remained convinced of his position throughout the seven days the jury considered the case.
Michael Péguy Desronvil said in a statement provided to ABC News by his attorney Friday that he “didn’t have any doubts” about his assessment of the evidence.
Desronvil said that while he attempted to explain different theories during deliberations, he felt he was repeatedly interrupted and that other jurors interpreted his explanations as uncertainty.
“Based on all the physical evidence, key witnesses, and what the prosecution presented, I thought it was enough proof that she knew exactly what she was doing and planned,” Desronvil said.
Clancy pleaded not guilty to three murder charges in connection with the deaths of her children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and infant son Callan — at the family’s home in Duxbury, Massachusetts, on Jan. 24, 2023.
Prosecutors said the three children were strangled.
Clancy, a former nurse, attempted suicide on the night of her children’s deaths and was left paralyzed, according to state prosecutors. She has since used a wheelchair.
Her five-week trial ended in a mistrial on Sept. 4 after jurors were unable to reach a unanimous verdict following seven days of deliberations.
The case drew widespread attention as jurors considered competing arguments over Clancy’s mental state and criminal responsibility at the time of her children’s deaths.
