Desronvil released a video statement on Fox News’s “Hannity” after the mistrial. - He asked the public to focus on the three children, Cora, Dawson and Callan, rather than on himself. - Desronvil is staying at an undisclosed location and thanked supporters for their help. - The story was covered by one centre‑rated outlet and seven right‑rated outlets. Michael P. Desronvil, the lone juror who maintained that former Massachusetts nurse Lindsay Clancy was guilty, appeared in a video aired on Fox News’s “Hannity” programme. In the recording he said the public’s attention should move away from him and onto the three children killed in the family’s Duxbury home in January 2023: Cora, five; Dawson, three; and Callan, eight months. Desronvil thanked God for his Catholic faith, his daughter, and the individuals who have supported him during what he described as a difficult time. He is reported to be staying at an undisclosed location while the case heads toward a status conference. > I know the whole focus has been on me, but we want to reel everything back and put the focus on the three angels. > > — Michael P. Desronvil, video statement ## What was omitted None of the right‑rated digests mention the support fund that the New York Post reported Desronvil received. No left‑rated outlet ran the story, leaving that perspective absent from the coverage. ## Who covered it Shares of the 10 covering outlets with a published leaning rating: - Left: 0% (0) - Centre: 10% (1) - Right: 90% (9) 1 of 11 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages. Coverage measured 2026-09-29T04:30:16.265878+00:00. **Coverage watch:** developing. Checked 7 times; 0 checks found a material change. Most recently checked 2026-09-29T05:00:20.381Z. ## How the sides framed it ### Left No separate framing summary. ### Centre - Internewscast highlighted the video plea as Desronvil’s first direct public remarks since the mistrial, noting his request to refocus attention on the three children. The report mentioned his undisclosed whereabouts, his gratitude to God and supporters, and quoted his exact words about the “three angels.” It also included statements from his attorney Edward Paltzik defending Desronvil against allegations from other jurors, and described the ongoing clash between Paltzik and Clancy’s defence lawyer Kevin Reddington. ### Right - The New York Post, the only right‑rated outlet with a full article, led with Desronvil’s call to shift focus to the three children and reproduced his full remarks, including his thanks to God and supporters. It added that Desronvil is a devout Catholic Haitian immigrant and noted a fund that donors created to help with his legal fees and lost work. The remaining seven right‑rated outlets provided digests that all reported the juror breaking his silence, his request to centre attention on the victims, and his status as the lone holdout juror. Several digests highlighted his race, calling him the “lone black holdout juror,” and described him as a hero who was doxxed and harassed after the mistrial. **Provisional coverage gap:** left. The watch is not closed, so this is not yet a settled blindspot finding. ## Factuality profile of the covering outlets These are published factuality ratings of the outlets, not a verdict on whether this story or its claims are true. - veryLow: 1 - low: 4 - mixed: 5 - unknown: 1 ## Verification scope This page compares coverage and scores the source reporting.
