Reporting for the Daily Mail, MELISSA KOENIG and WILL POTTER share the revelation of the identity of the holdout juror in the Lindsasy Clancy trial, as he has come forward to defend himself.
The holdout juror who refused to acquit Lindsay Clancy has told of how he held firm as the other 11 tried to convince him to find her not guilty by reason of insanity of strangling her three children.
The juror, whom NewsNation identified as Michael P Desronvil, told the outlet he 'didn't have any doubts' - refuting jury foreperson Roni Carlson's earlier remarks.
He said: 'As I tried to explain different possible theories during deliberations, I kept getting cut off as I had doubts based on the evidence present.'
The juror explained to the network that based on all the evidence he ‘thought it was enough proof that she [Clancy] knew exactly what she was doing and planned' to kill her three children – Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan.
He also shared his thoughts about the high-profile case in an interview with Ray Marcel of Fugitive TV, saying he was convinced Clancy 'knew right from wrong'.
… The holdout juror also said he had been stunned by the vitriol he faced after he voted to convict Clancy, and felt the backlash from his fellow jurors was because he was a 'black Republican,' Marcel claimed.
But wait! The story keeps getting better. You can't make this up: Not content with facing vitriol ,for being a "black Republican" (the horror! the horror!), it turns out that the accusations of domestic violence seem to have been lies made by a wife (i.e., his own) who wanted to retaliate against him after he found out she was an… illegal alien!
He said Desronvil told him the allegations stemmed from a turbulent 'fraudulent marriage,' and their relationship rapidly deteriorated when he allegedly discovered she was an illegal immigrant.
'He didn't know that, and he told me that's pretty much when everything hit the fan,' Marcel said on his YouTube show.
He said Desronvil told him that his former partner raised domestic violence allegations in retaliation after he filed for divorce.

Speaking of "Black Republicans", Abraham Lincoln held a speech in February 1860 (indeed, his Cooper Union speech
galvanized the Republicans to eventually choose him as their candidate)
in which he told his audience how he would address himself to them as
if they were composed of Southerners and Democrats:
… when you speak of us Republicans, you do so only to denounce us as reptiles, or, at the best, as no better than outlaws. You will grant a hearing to pirates or murderers, but nothing like it to [Republicans]. In all your contentions with one another, each of you deems an unconditional condemnation of [Republicanism] as the first thing to be attended to. Indeed, such condemnation of us seems to be an indispensable prerequisite — license, so to speak — among you to be admitted or permitted to speak at all. Now, can you, or not, be prevailed upon to pause and to consider whether this is quite just to us, or even to yourselves? Bring forward your charges and specifications, and then be patient long enough to hear us deny or justify.
