Lindsay Clancy holdout juror speaks out on 911 call, claims he has unshared evidence supporting guilty stance

Plymouth, Massachusetts - The sole holdout juror in Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial sat down with Fox News to speak out about hearing Patrick Clancy's surreal 911 call in court and claim he holds evidence backing his "guilty" stance – refusing to budge despite 11 other jurors wanting to acquit, ultimately causing a mistrial while painting a "tense" picture of deliberations and calling out defense attorney Kevin Reddington.

As Clancy's legal team, led by attorney Kevin Reddington, prepares for the next court date following the mistrial, the sole holdout juror – Michael Desronvil – believes Clancy's lead defense attorney put a target on him.

In an interview with Fox News correspondent Kayleigh McEnany (who recently interviewed Nolan Wells' friends), McEnany asks Desronvil whether he thinks Reddington put a target on his back, to which he responded, "Yes, I do."

According to McEnany, the Massachusetts father "found himself on trial" in the media, but he shared a few things he'd "like the world to know" about him.

"I do extremely care about people, especially children, because children are extremely innocent," he said. "I care about my reputation."

Speaking of his nickname as the "lone holdout juror," Desronvil said it was "interesting," saying his life before and after the mistrial was "night and day."

Asked by McEnany if there were "tense" times in the deliberation room, Desronvil said there were indeed "tense" moments.

He said he felt like he listened to what other jurors had to say, but noted that "some moments in that deliberation room felt like ... decisions were being swayed toward one way."

He said "prayer" got him through the nearly 40 hours of deliberations, mentioning that hearing Patrick Clancy's 911 call after finding his wife and kids felt "surreal hearing the pain in his voice ... hearing the desperation from that clip."

Reddington, after the mistrial was declared, told reporters the 11 jurors who were going to acquit Clancy were "they know that one man robbed them for whatever his agenda was," but Desronvil claims he did not have any reasonable doubt and thus did apply the rule of law to his belief that she should be found guilty on all murder charges.

"Definitely I had a lot of evidence to back up my claim," Desronvil told Fox News, but said "out of respect of the other jurors and the court system," he is choosing to "put that to sleep for now."

When asked about the domestic violence charge that was brought against him in 2021, and later dropped, by his ex-wife, Desronvil says it was "blown out of proportion," and there was no "physical," "emotional," or "financial" abuse.

Though the holdout juror has issued statements to the media through his lawyers, this was the first sit-down interview he has given.

The next hearing in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial is November 2, and numerous things will be handled – some including Desronvil.
