Michael Desronvil, the holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy case, is standing by his view that the mother of three is guilty of đŹiá©lling her children. He described the children as âthree angelsâ who cannot âspeak for themselvesâ and is publicly proclaiming his Catholic faith as the fallout from the mistrial continues.
In an exclusive video that aired Monday on Fox Newsâ âHannity,â Desronvil acknowledged the attention he has received since he was publicly identified as the lone juror who would not join the rest of the jury in finding Clancy not guilty by reason of insanity.

The prosecution argued that Clancyâs đŹiá©lling of her children was premeditated and calculated. Her defense argued that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis when the children died and should not be held criminally responsible.
âI know the whole focus has been on me, but we want to reel everything back and put the focus on the three angels,â he said.
Desronvil made clear he was referring to Clancyâs children, describing them as âthe ones that canât speak for themselvesâ and âthe ones that canât defend themselvesâ before naming them: Cora, Dawson and Callan.
âI want to thank God for my Catholic faith,â he said. âI want to thank God for blessing me with the ability to love my daughter.â

Desronvil also thanked supporters for their âprayers,â âemotional supportâ and âpsychological support.â The video aired one day before the defense and prosecution met at a hearing to discuss next steps in the case after the mistrial.
Another hearing is set for Nov. 2 to rule on several motions. They include a motion to obtain Desronvilâs juror records and questionnaire and a motion to dismiss filed by Clancyâs defense. A possible retrial date is also expected to be discussed at that hearing.
The polarizing case has made Desronvil the target of hostility. Fugitive TV host Ray Marcel said in a video posted after a phone conversation with Desronvil, âThis man cannot live in peace right now.â
âPeople are knocking on his door, going around his house. Not just his house, his family membersâ house. His brother has even said that everybody is going by their homes. They canât leave. They feel unsafe,â Marcel added.

In a recent interview on âFox & Friends,â Desronvilâs attorney Edward Paltzik announced plans to file a bar complaint against Kevin Reddington, Clancyâs outspoken defense attorney, over his conduct toward Desronvil. A bar complaint is a formal ethics complaint against a lawyer.
Reddington has called Desronvil an âobstructionist.â Paltzik said that was âthe most outrageous thingâ he has heard in his 20-year legal career. He also rejected as âcategorically falseâ the allegation that Desronvil broke the law.
âThe question now is, do we want to have a Constitution? Do we want to have a Sixth Amendment?â Paltzik asked, reflecting on how Desronvil has been treated. âDo we want jurors to feel safe when they show up to perform their civic duty?â
The Sixth Amendment guarantees criminal defendants the right to a trial by an impartial jury.
âIn accusing a juror of committing a crime, Kevin Reddington is clearly violating the Sixth Amendment. Heâs clearly violating the right to trial by jury,â Paltzik said.

Paltzik also warned that the outrage directed at Desronvil was setting a ânightmarish precedent,â adding, âweâre not going to have a criminal justice system if jurors are afraid of reprisals.â
Reddington has filed a motion asking the court to investigate allegations that Desronvil committed acts of domestic violence and scrolled on his cellphone during jury deliberations. Paltzik pushed back, saying, âYou canât investigate a juror because the juror followed the law and the evidence and came to a different conclusion than the one you wanted.â
As of Wednesday afternoon, a fundraiser set up to help Desronvil cover the costs of âsecurity, lawyers, and lost workâ had raised more than $400,000 of its $500,000 goal.
