Ron DeSantis offers Florida asylum to holdout juror in Lindsay Clancy mistrial after media reports on juror's background
The Lindsay Clancy murder trial ended in a mistrial after the jury split 11-1 on whether Clancy was criminally responsible for killing her three children in 2023. NBC10 Boston reported the holdout juror had a history of domestic violence allegations and an active restraining order. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis offered the juror asylum in Florida, accusing legacy media of a smear campaign. The juror, later identified as Michael P. Desronvil, was taken to a secure location and disputed other jurors' claims that he had doubts about Clancy's guilt.
