This story is still being watched, so it is a count and not yet a finding. Coverage keeps arriving for hours after an event, and a side that has published nothing this morning may publish by tonight. If it is still true when we stop checking, we will say so plainly.
Michael Desronvil, the sole juror who did not reach a verdict in the Lindsay Clancy trial, is preparing to return to his professional life. Desronvil plans to resume his day job within the coming week, according to statements from his attorney, Edward Paltzik.
Paltzik has informed Massachusetts State Police and the District Attorney of concerns for Desronvil's safety, indicating that the juror feels targeted. The attorney also stated that Desronvil intends to file a bar complaint against Clancy's defence lawyer, Kevin Reddington. Reddington has previously sought an investigation into Desronvil's actions during the trial, including his behaviour in the deliberation room and his responses on a pre-trial questionnaire.
Disagreement on Desronvil's stated reasons
The New York Post reported that Desronvil has been "laying low" and needs time to "process everything," with plans to return to "normalcy." His attorney told the outlet that Desronvil is looking forward to returning to "normalcy" and wants to eventually tell his story, but has no immediate plans to speak publicly. The New York Post also reported that Paltzik called Clancy a "demon" and Reddington "a disgrace" in a podcast appearance, warning that investigating jurors could deter civic duty. Paltzik stated his client's refusal to change his verdict was a stand against "evil."
