The lone holdout juror in the trial of Lindsay Clancy has said he "didn't have any doubts" that she was criminally responsible for killing her three children.

"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 it," Michael Desronvil said in a statement to CBS News, the BBC's US partner.

The judge declared a mistrial on 4 September after the jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict following nearly 40 hours of deliberating.

I trust the other jurors account of him admitting he had reasonable doubt over his retelling since he lied about his criminal history in order to get on the jury. It's even more damning to know that his criminal history includes domestic violence against his partner.

Good for you. I guess if you were on the jury you could have made your own choice.

This isn't even an allegation of bribery or coercion or corruption. It's just you not liking his decision as a juror doing exactly what a juror is supposed to do.

You're misunderstanding how a jury works and how the law works.

Thanks for continuing to show your misunderstanding of this entire case and trial.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Have they arrested the juror yet for making the decision you don't like?

Your ignorance is astounding.
