The juror who stood alone in the Lindsay Clancy trial by refusing to join the other 11 jurors in delivering a not guilty by reason of insanity verdict is now facing significant harassment, his attorney said. Michael P. Desronvil, 48, has experienced death threats, doxing, and ongoing intimidation since publicly defending his decision last week.

Desronvil, a father from a Haitian immigrant background and a devout Christian, broke his silence amid a highly charged public response to the trial. His lawyer, Edward Paltzik, who has previously represented high-profile figures including former President Donald Trump, described the hostility directed at Desronvil as the result of a "lunatic mob."

In response to the backlash, a fundraiser initiated by independent journalist Tom Hennessy has raised more than $330,000 to support Desronvil. The campaign has drawn hundreds of individual donations, including a notable $10,000 contribution from an anonymous donor. The funds are intended to help cover Desronvil’s living expenses and other necessities as he navigates the intense public scrutiny and harassment.

Jacob Wells, co-founder of the fundraising platform GiveSendGo, confirmed that he has verified Desronvil’s identity and agreed to add him as the official recipient of the donations. Paltzik publicly thanked both Hennessy and Wells for their efforts to ensure that Desronvil receives the full amount raised through the fundraiser.

In a recent statement, Paltzik described Desronvil as an "American Hero & Champion of Justice," emphasizing the juror’s courage in maintaining his position despite substantial pressure.

The trial itself drew widespread attention due to the contentious nature of the verdict and the divisive responses from the public. Desronvil’s unique stance on the jury underscored the complexities of the case and highlighted the intense emotional and social dynamics surrounding it.
