Story summary

Michael Desronvil, a 48-year-old juror who refused to agree with his peers that Lindsay Clancy was not guilty of murdering her three children due to insanity, sparked a mistrial. He has since faced severe backlash, including death threats and harassment, forcing him to move to an undisclosed secure location in rural New England for safety. Desronvil shared photos on social media showing himself with his newborn daughter and revealed that a fundraiser set up for him had raised over $350,000 as of Sunday afternoon. The funds are intended to cover security costs, legal fees, and lost wages due to the threats against him. Clancy's trial garnered national attention after she admitted to killing her children but claimed she was not criminally responsible due to postpartum psychosis.
