Lindsay Clancy holdout juror goes into hiding as his lawyer warns sleuths 'don't even think about' trying to find him... and fundraiser raises $280k

The holdout juror who refused to acquit Lindsay Clancy has gone into hiding after he was allegedly doxxed online and received death threats from the killer mom's supporters.The man, whom NewsNation identified as Michael P Desronvil, has left his Massachusetts home after Clancy's trial collapsed, his newly appointed lawyer, Edward Andrew Paltzik, has revealed.'He is presently safe and sound at an undisclosed secure location in a rural area of Northern New England,' Paltzik said in a statement hailing his client as an 'American Hero and Champion of Justice.'The attorney vowed to hold the 'evil people who have so viciously attacked' his client accountable to the 'maximum extent of the law and beyond.''In the meantime, though, he has persevered and remains utterly unbroken thanks to his devout Catholic Faith,' he said of Desronvil.'As a devoted father and man of God, he will not be defeated or shattered by the wicked who wish harm upon him.'Paltzik said Desronvil loves America, supports President Donald Trump, believes the US is the 'greatest country in the world' and 'cherishes our sacred Constitution as the pinnacle of human liberty.' The juror has received a massive wave of support from others who believe Clancy should have been found guilty of murdering her three young children.A GiveSendGo crowdfunding campaign established to help cover his 'security, lawyers, and lost work' has already amassed over $290,000 in donations. Michael Desronvil said he 'didn't have any doubts' about his decision in the Lindsay Clancy trialClancy's trial sharply divided opinions across the nation, as the mother admitted to strangling her three children - Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan - but pleaded not guilty to murder by reason of insanity The creator of the GiveSendGo page praised Desronvil for holding firm as the other 11 tried to convince him to find Clancy not guilty by reason of insanity for strangling her three children.'One juror held his seat. He looked at what she did, not the brand of Zoloft. So the defense demanded the judge throw him off the jury for "not following reasonable doubt,"' the organizer wrote.'The judge left him on. The jury hung. Mistrial. Now she can be tried again for killing her children instead of getting a standing ovation for her symptoms.'We're not letting this slide.'Desronvil, whose attorney says he will not be giving any further interviews, broke his silence about the trial Thursday in an interview with NewsNation.He told the outlet he 'didn't have any doubts' – refuting the jury foreperson's earlier remarks.He said: 'As I tried to explain different possible theories during deliberations, I kept getting cut off as I had doubts based on the evidence present.' A GiveSendGo crowdfunding campaign established to help cover Desronvil's 'security, lawyers, and lost work' has already amassed over $280,000 in donations Desronvil has hired attorney Edward Andrew Paltzik to represent him. Paltzik, pictured, has vowed to hold the 'evil people who have so viciously attacked' his client accountable to the 'maximum extent of the law and beyond'The juror explained to the network that based on all the evidence he 'thought it was enough proof that she [Clancy] knew exactly what she was doing and planned' to kill her three children – Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan. He also shared his thoughts about the high-profile case in an interview with Ray Marcel of Fugitive TV, saying he was convinced Clancy 'knew right from wrong.'The true crime host told NewsNation: 'He felt that she was sane when she did it. And that’s exactly what he told me.'Jury foreperson Roni Carlson previously told NBC 10 that the holdout juror 'admitted he had reasonable doubt,' but Marcel reported this was disputed.Marcel did not show their conversation, but he said Desronvil told him over an hour-long phone call that he felt the need to speak his mind because other jurors slandered him in the media after the trial. 'He said some of the things they've said about him is either not the whole truth, the half-truth, or outright lies,' Marcel said, including that the juror rejected their assertions he had 'reasonable doubt.'A judge declared a mistrial earlier this month after the jury deadlocked 11-1. Prosecutors are yet to say if they intend to retry Clancy for murder or offer her a plea deal. Clancy admitted to killing her children, but pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity as she claimed she was suffering postpartum psychosis and was overmedicated Clancy has not disputed killing her three children – Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old CallanDesronvil said he had been stunned by the vitriol he faced after he voted to convict Clancy, and felt the backlash from his fellow jurors was because he was a 'black Republican,' Marcel claimed. The juror's past, including allegations of domestic violence and assault, were thrust into the spotlight after Clancy's trial collapsed.NBC Boston published details of domestic violence allegations against him, which reportedly stem from a dispute involving his ex-wife. According to court filings obtained by the TV outlet, Desronvil was arrested for domestic violence in 2021 but was never prosecuted.Desronvil told Marcel the allegations stemmed from a turbulent 'fraudulent marriage,' and their relationship rapidly deteriorated when he allegedly discovered his ex-wife was an illegal immigrant. He also claimed his former partner raised domestic violence allegations in retaliation after he filed for divorce, Marcel reported.In 2025, the holdout juror was also alleged to have attacked his nephew by shoving him to the ground and striking him in the face, according to reported restraining order documents obtained by NBC Boston.The juror was also not prosecuted over that incident, the outlet reported, and Marcel said Desronvil told him that he did not want to get into those allegations beyond saying that 'the truth will come out.' Clancy used exercise bands to fatally strangle her children in 2023The case ended in a mistrial earlier this month and prosecutors have not yet indicated if they intend to retry her or offer a plea deal Desronvil reportedly insisted that despite the deliberations ending in deadlock, the jury was not unanimously against the holdout juror from the start and their conversations began with just eight jurors wanting to acquit Clancy. 'They were doing their best to convince,' Marcel said, adding that two of the jurors were undecided, and the holdout juror had at least one other person who also believed she was guilty. Marcel said Desronvil told him the other juror was on his side 'until the last moment,' at which point she 'caved and voted with the rest.'Over 40 hours of deliberations, Marcel said Desronvil told him the conversations grew agitated, and at one point he used a water bottle and a piece of string to demonstrate the force Clancy would have used to strangle her children to death.'He tied a string around the water bottle, and did it to set an example and show people, "Imagine the water bottle as their little necks,"' he recalled. Asked what convinced the holdout juror of Clancy's guilt, Marcel told NewsNation that he was told that he felt 'she was sane by the preparation she did' before strangling her children.
