Story summary

The lone holdout juror in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial, Michael P. Desronvil, said he has felt harassed since the trial ended in a mistrial last month. Desronvil was the only juror who wanted to convict Clancy for killing her three children — Cora (5), Dawson (3), and Callan (8) — in January 2023. During an interview on Fox & Friends, Desronvil described his decision as being influenced by how "methodical" he thought Clancy was while committing the murders. He denied claims that he did not follow the reasonable-doubt standard during deliberations and insisted he had no doubts about her guilt. Since then, Desronvil has faced intense media attention and harassment, even affecting his family's safety to the point where his fiancée needed to be escorted out of their home due to threats.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
