The lone holdout juror in the trial of Lindsay Clancy has said he “didn’t have any doubts” that she was criminally responsible for killing her three children.

“Based on all the physical evidence, key witnesses and what the prosecution presents, I thought it was enough proof that she knew exactly what she was doing and planned it,” Michael Desronvil said in a statement to CBS News, the BBC’s US partner.

The judge declared a mistrial on 4 September after the jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict following nearly 40 hours of deliberating.

    it would be better to focus on this case being used as an excuse to remove women’s rights.

    Yep, that’s why I’ve posted about that very thing myself.

    I also think that it is worthy to publicly push back on some of these sexist opinions that are rising from people conflating Lindsey Clancy with all women as if we are a monolith.

      Absolutely fair. Hell, even Lemmy users are a pretty small, self-selected bunch and we aren’t a monolith.

        Hey thanks for having a back and forth with me that didn’t devolve into name calling or personal digs. That was nice :)

          Well, I’m a real, multi-faceted person, and I have my bad days, but I try to call out behavior and statements and avoid insults. Sometimes it’s easier, and this was certainly one of them. Maybe we can argue/discuss again in the future. :D
