The lawyer for the lone holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy trial is reportedly claiming his client is facing threats for refusing to find Clancy, who admitted to murdering her three children, not guilty by reason of insanity.
\n\nThe juror was identified as 48-year-old Michael P. Desronvil, who disagreed with the other 11 jurors as they tried to reach a verdict, the New York Post reported Saturday.
\n\nA fundraiser for Desronvil has since raised over $300,000, and his lawyer, Edward Paltzik, said the funds would be used to “to cover necessities in the wake of the death threats, doxxing, and harassment by the lunatic mob that he has so courageously withstood.”
\n\nA mistrial was declared when the jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict in the case, which has drawn massive attention, AFP reported September 4.
\n\nClancy admitted strangling her three children, five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson, and eight-month-old Callan to death. The 36-year-old has claimed she was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time but prosecutors have argued she planned the murders, the outlet said.
\n\nThe Associated Press (AP) reported September 2:
\n\nClancy strangled the children with exercise bands in their home’s basement, then jumped from a second-floor window.
