The representative for the sole juror dissenting in Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial is defending his client’s decision. He refutes claims that the juror ignored legal obligations regarding reasonable doubt. Edward Paltzik, the attorney, spoke with Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany in an interview preview, aired on “Fox & Friends.”

During the interview, McEnany questioned Paltzik about whether juror Michael P. Desronvil ever experienced reasonable doubt. The jury foreperson had sent a note to the judge, claiming Desronvil refused to adhere to the law.

“Michael had zero doubt,” Paltzik assured.

McEnany, seeking clarification, inquired about the evidence supporting Desronvil’s decision.

“A lot of evidence. A mountain of evidence,” replied Paltzik.

Desronvil stood alone after seven days of Clancy’s trial deliberations. The other eleven jurors were inclined to find Clancy not criminally responsible due to her alleged postpartum psychosis. Desronvil, however, advocated for a conviction, leading Judge William Sullivan to declare a mistrial on September 4.

Clancy had confessed to killing her three children—Cora (5), Dawson (3), and Callan (8 months)—at their home in Duxbury, Massachusetts, in January 2023. Her defense claimed the killings were due to postpartum psychosis, arguing she was not criminally liable. Prosecutors maintained she comprehended her actions and had planned them.

Post-trial, Desronvil defended his stance. He cited the physical evidence and witness statements indicating Clancy’s awareness during the incident. As of now, prosecutors have not disclosed whether Clancy will face a retrial. Her next court appearance is scheduled for September 29.
