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." ## What the coverage left out None of the centre-rated digests mentioned that Michael Desronvil intends to file a bar complaint against Kevin Reddington, or that Reddington has pressed for an investigation into Desronvil's conduct. The centre-rated digests also did not include Edward Paltzik's statements expressing concerns for Desronvil's safety to Massachusetts State Police and the District Attorney. ## Who covered it Shares of the 6 covering outlets with a published leaning rating: - Left: 0% (0) - Centre: 50% (3) - Right: 50% (3) 0 of 6 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages.
