The lone holdout juror on the Lindsay Clancy trial is a conservative Republican who has lived with nonstop threats of violence since his guilty vote led to a mistrial, according to his exclusive interview with an independent journalist.

The holdout juror, Michael P. Desronvil, broke his silence Tuesday night after the Boston Globe identified him in a highly unflattering report detailing domestic violence allegations against him, as well as eviction proceedings that were ongoing at the time of the trial.

Desronvil gave his side of the story to Ray Marcel of the Fugitive TV podcast, opening up about his divorce, his September 2021 arrest for domestic violence, and the eight "activist" women on the jury.

Marcel said Desronvil was "very well spoken, very nice, very kind" with him on the phone, and noted that he is a conservative Catholic.

The YouTuber displayed the letter from the Plymouth Trial Court calling Desronvil to jury duty to prove the man's identity.

Still unwilling to show his face due to constant threats, Desronvil told Marcel in an hour long telephone interview that he is not a Haitian immigrant, but had married an illegal Haitian immigrant, thinking she was in the country legally.

Arguing that the Globe didn’t tell the entire story, the YouTuber disclosed Desronvil’s divorce records which show that he had filed for divorce on March 3, 2022, citing September 25, 2021, as the date of a "irretrievable breakdown of the marriage."

Desronvil told him that when he filed for the divorce, his spouse was opposed to the divorce. His petition was allegedly denied because a review of his wife's immigration status had found she was not a U.S. citizen, thus the marriage was considered fraudulent.

Desronvil's wife allegedly filed a counterclaim a couple of months later—May 10, 2022—citing the same date of September 25, 2021, as when her husband engaged in "cruel and abusive treatment" toward her.

The Boston Globe detailed Desronvil's September 2021 arrest on the domestic assault and battery charge. His then 13-year-old nephew had dialed 911 from the family's apartment in Brockton, Massachusetts, according to court records.

When police arrived at the apartment, according to court records, Desronvil was holding an infant on the porch and tried to dismiss officers, telling them, "We don't need any help, we are all set," the report states.
But when police spoke with the nephew, the boy pointed at Desronvil and said, "He hit her."

Through a translator, Desronvil's then-wife told police that during an argument over their crying baby, Desronvil grabbed her by the throat and hurled her into a bedroom dresser, according to court records.

The criminal charge was later dismissed, the Globe reported.

Desronvil said that the family members interviewed by the Boston Globe were likely related to his ex-wife, most likely her sister and mother of his nephew, hence their bias against him. He told Marcel that during that entire fraught period, his ex-wife had been trying to get citizenship status to live in the United States.

He denied allegations surrounding a restraining order issued in 2025 alleging he assaulted his 6'2″ teenage nephew, telling Fugitive TV, "the truth will come out."

Desronvil, according to the YouTuber, insisted that he had filled out his jury paperwork honestly, checking the "yes" box to indicate that he had previously been arrested. He was later asked by the prosecutor to describe what had happened. After being questioned about his past arrest, he was selected for the jury.

Desronvil stated that from day one, eight of the jurors had already decided to vote not guilty and he felt like those jurors were "activists." He said every day they tried to convince the rest of the jury that she was not guilty.

He said, toward the end, he and another female juror were the only holdouts, but at the last minute, "she caved."

Desronvil said the other jurors who have gone public have been telling half-truths or just outright lies.

For instance, one juror, Nick Dargie, stated that the holdout (Desronvil) had exhibited "disgusting" behavior during deliberations, "appearing to act out one of the killings by using resistance bands on a water bottle, scrolling on his phone, and refusing to back up his objections to an acquittal," according to the Globe.

Desronvil said he "knew" Clancy was guilty based on the evidence and was open with the other jurors about what he believed. He told Fugative TV that because of the evidence that was presented in court, he felt that she was not insane at the time of the murders and knew what she was doing.

He told Marcel that he tied the band around the water bottle to "set an example" about what Clancy had done to her children, saying he told the other members of the jury to "imagine the water bottle as their little necks."

Desronvil stated that he believes he's being targeted because he is a Republican—"a Black Republican with conservative views."

"Because the media and the reporters, as you have seen, they kinda have left views," Marcel noted, adding that Desronvil believes the jury panel was made up of mostly Democrats.

Marcel emphasized that neither one of them are sure, but Desronvil suspects that is why he's "being attacked."

The media campaign against him has been so intense, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) on Friday offered the holdout juror "asylum" in his state if he continues to face harassment.

"A man objected to allowing a woman to kill her three young kids and get away with it, so NBC is trying to smear that juror, whose identity should be protected. Another low for legacy media," DeSantis posted on X. "If the juror is being harassed, Florida will provide asylum—I'm sure he'd be welcomed and appreciated," he added.

Marcel said he was disgusted with the media for doxxing the holdout juror and dragging him through the mud. He argued that it has set a very bad precedent.

"There was no reason to do any of this," he said. "Now in the future, people are going to be scared to even serve on a jury."

Marcel pointed out that potential jurors in the future may be scared to vote their conscience if they are outnumbered by liberals.

"That man cannot live in peace right now," he said.
