这起备受关注的林赛·克兰西谋杀审判中的唯一持异议陪审员，就陪审团审议情况发表了自己的说法，称他“毫无疑虑”地坚信克兰西应承担刑事责任。
“我当时毫无疑虑，”陪审员迈克尔·德斯龙维尔在通过其代表雷·马塞尔获得的一份声明中说道。“在审议期间，我试图解释各种不同的可能理论时，却不断被打断，仿佛我是根据现有证据产生了疑虑。”
“根据所有实物证据、关键证人证词以及控方提交的证据，我认为这些已经足够证明她清楚自己在做什么，并且是有预谋的，”他在声明中写道。
9月4日，也就是审议的第七天，陪审团陷入僵局，未能就克兰西是否应对2023年1月在马萨诸塞州家中杀害其三名年幼子女的行为承担刑事责任达成一致裁决。克兰西对5岁的科拉、3岁的道森和8个月大的卡兰的一级谋杀指控拒不认罪。在陪审团无法达成裁决后，法官宣布了无效审判。
谋杀审判的陪审员宝拉·德文林上周在《哥伦比亚广播公司早间节目》中表示，陪审员们花了数天时间试图说服这位认为克兰西应被判谋杀罪的持异议陪审员站到他们这边，但他始终不肯让步。
“我们所有人都齐心协力。我不确定一开始是不是为了说服他，”德文林在接受《哥伦比亚广播公司早间节目》联合主持人盖尔·金采访时说道。“当投票结果变成10比2时，我们所有人都齐心协力说服自己。我非常同情他们，因为他们感觉自己受到了攻击，而这是不可避免的。”
律师爱德华·安德鲁·帕尔齐克在社交媒体上宣布，他目前正在代理德斯龙维尔的案件，并表示德斯龙维尔“安全无恙，藏身于新英格兰北部农村地区一处未公开的保密地点”。
在宣布无效审判后，这位持异议陪审员在网上遭到了广泛的批评。
“请放心，那些恶毒攻击这位美国英雄和正义捍卫者的邪恶之人，将在法律允许的最大范围内乃至超出法律界限被追究责任，”帕尔齐克在X平台的一篇帖子中说道。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻此前报道称，这位持异议陪审员在2021年曾被指控犯有家庭暴力罪。马萨诸塞州布罗克顿市警方表示，他在一次争吵中被指控掐住妻子的喉咙并将其扔到梳妆台上。根据法庭记录，他对一项家庭暴力袭击和殴打指控拒不认罪，后来该指控被撤销。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻法律分析师卡罗琳·波利西表示，关键问题在于德斯龙维尔是否在陪审员调查问卷中披露了这一指控。但由于已经宣布无效审判，目前尚不清楚这一问题是否会对案件后续程序产生任何影响。
克兰西承认杀害了自己的三名子女，但陪审员们无法就她是否应承担刑事责任达成一致。多名陪审员和克兰西的辩护律师表示，陪审团以11比1的投票结果倾向于认定她无刑事责任，理由是她存在精神疾病证据。
威廉·沙利文法官在陪审团三次报告陷入僵局后宣布了无效审判。
地区检察官蒂莫西·克鲁兹尚未宣布该州是否会对克兰西重新提起诉讼。下一次庭审定于9月29日在普利茅斯高等法院举行。
Holdout juror in Lindsay Clancy trial says he “didn’t have any doubts” during deliberations

The lone holdout juror in the high-profile Lindsay Clancy murder trial said he “didn’t have any doubts” about what he believed was Clancy’s criminal responsibility, providing his account of the jury’s deliberations.
“I didn’t have any doubts,” juror Michael Desronvil said in a statement obtained by CBS News through his representative, Ray Marcel. “As I tried to explain different possible theories during deliberation, I kept getting cut off as if I had doubts based on the evidence present.”
“Based on all the physical evidence, key witnesses, and what the prosecution presents, I thought it was enough proof that she knew exactly what she was doing and planned,” his statement read.
The jury remained deadlocked on Sept. 4, the seventh day of deliberations, after not coming to a unanimous decision about whether Clancy was criminally responsible for killing her three young children at their Massachusetts home in January 2023. Clancy had pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the deaths of 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and 8-month-old Callan. The judge declared a mistrial after the hung jury could not reach a verdict.
Paula Devlin, a juror in the murder trial, told “CBS Mornings” last week that jurors spent several days seeing if they could convince the holdout juror, who believed Clancy should be found guilty of murder, to come to their side, but he would not budge.
“We all worked together. And I don’t know if it was to convince him to start with,” Devlin told “CBS Mornings” co-host Gayle King. “We all worked together to convince ourselves once we got to that point where it was 10 to 2. I felt very bad for them because they felt attacked. And there is no way to not do that.”
Attorney Edward Andrew Paltzik announced on social media that he is now representing Desronvil, saying that Desronvil is “safe and sound at an undisclosed secure location in a rural area of Northern New England.”
The holdout juror has been subjected to widespread criticism online in the wake of the mistrial.
“Rest assured that the evil people who have so viciously attacked this American Hero and Champion of Justice will be held accountable to the maximum extent of the law and beyond,” Paltzik said in a post on X.
CBS News recently reported that the holdout juror was accused of domestic violence in 2021. Police in Brockton, Massachusetts, said he was accused of grabbing his wife by the throat and throwing her into a dresser during an argument. He pleaded not guilty to a count of domestic violence assault and battery, and the charge was later dismissed, according to court records.
CBS News legal analyst Caroline Polisi said the key question is whether Desronvil disclosed the allegation on his juror questionnaire. But with a mistrial already declared, it’s unclear whether the issue will have any impact on the case going forward, she said.
Clancy admitted to killing her three children, but jurors could not agree on whether she should be held criminally responsible. Several jurors and Clancy’s defense attorney said the jury was divided 11-1 in favor of finding her not criminally responsible, citing evidence of her mental illness.
Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial after the jury reported being deadlocked three times.
District Attorney Timothy Cruz has not yet announced whether the state will retry Clancy. The next court hearing is scheduled for Sept. 29 at Plymouth Superior Court.
