## Juror holds firm
Michael P. Desronvil, the sole juror who refused to vote in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial, said he had no reasonable doubt about her guilt.

> I didn't have any doubts
## Juror cut off during deliberations
During jury discussions, Desronvil was repeatedly interrupted when he tried to explain alternative theories about the case.
## Juror's conviction stance
Desronvil stated that physical evidence, key witnesses, and prosecution testimony were sufficient to prove Clancy planned her children's deaths.
## Mistrial outcome
The trial ended in a mistrial after jurors deadlocked and a higher court rejected the defense's request to intervene in deliberations.
## Clancy's admission
Clancy admitted to strangling her three children in January 2023, with defense arguing she was in psychosis and should not be held criminally responsible.

The juror insisted he had no reasonable doubt about Clancy's guilt based on physical evidence and witness testimony.
