A fundraiser for the holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy case has raised over $370,000 as the fallout from the high-profile murder trial continues.
More than two weeks after a mistrial was declared in the trial for Lindsay Clancy, a mother who killed all three of her children as she experienced postpartum psychosis, additional information is coming out about the one juror who disagreed with the rest of the jury that she was not guilty by reason of insanity.
While many jury members have publicly come forward, the holdout juror has not given a public interview yet, but has been identified as Michael Desronvil and has released statements through his attorney. A fundraiser was launched on the crowdfunding platform GiveSendGo titled “Stand with the Juror." The page features pictures of Desronvil and his infant child as well as a statement provided by the juror’s counsel elaborating on why he believed Clancy was guilty.
The fundraiser has raised over $374,000 as of Monday afternoon, and aims to “cover security, lawyers, and lost work,” citing certainty that the public will “come for him.” “As I tried to explain different possible theories during deliberation, I kept getting cut off as if I had doubts based on the evidence presented,” the juror's statement released by lawyer Edward Paltzik reads.
“Based on all the physical evidence, key witnesses, and what the prosecution presented, I thought it was enough proof that she [Clancy] knew exactly what she was doing and planned,” the statement added.
The fundraiser highlights the dynamics of how the trial played out, recalling how “the country got the full TikTok-diagnostics package” that insisted postpartum psychosis, “voices” and “trauma,” along with “a stack of pill bottles and a sad playlist,” caused Clancy to murder her children and that she should not be held culpable
