The sole juror who refused to support a finding that Lindsay Clancy was not criminally responsible for her children’s deaths says he continues to stand by that decision.
Michael Desronvil discussed the deadlocked jury and the difficult deliberations with Kayleigh McEnany during an interview broadcast on Fox & Friends Oct. 15. He also explained why he remains convinced that his position was justified.
Asked whether he had any reasonable doubt about the case, Desronvil answered that he did not.
“I had a lot of evidence to back up my claim,” he said. Desronvil added that, out of respect for the other jurors and the legal process, he would keep further details to himself while the case continues through the courts.
Desronvil said he viewed Clancy’s actions as “methodical” and described the deaths of the children as an “execution.”
The murder trial ended in a mistrial on Sept. 4 after the jury could not reach a unanimous decision.

Clancy, 36, has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in connection with the January 2023 deaths of her children: 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and 8-month-old Callan.
Her defense team argued that Clancy should not be held criminally responsible, saying she was experiencing postpartum psychosis when the children died.
Prosecutors rejected that argument, asserting that the killings were intentional and planned in advance.
Patrick Clancy, Lindsay’s former husband, testified that on Jan. 24, 2023, she asked him to drive to a nearby CVS for medication before stopping at a local restaurant to pick up dinner. When he returned, he found her in the backyard after she had jumped from a second-story window in what appeared to be a suicide attempt. He then went to the basement, where he found Cora, Dawson and Callan unresponsive after being strangled with exercise bands. All three children later died.
Clancy is due back in court Nov. 2, when a judge may determine whether to schedule a new trial.
