'MOUNTAIN OF EVIDENCE': Lawyer for Clancy holdout juror speaks out, tell me about this news in (https://www.foxnews.com/video/6405725387112)

In the Fox News segment titled “‘MOUNTAIN OF EVIDENCE’: Lawyer for Clancy holdout juror speaks out,” host Kayleigh McEnany interviews Edward Paltzik, the defense attorney representing Michael Desronvil. Desronvil served as the sole holdout juror in the high-profile Massachusetts murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, who admitted to killing her three young children in 2023. The defense had argued that Clancy was suffering from severe postpartum psychosis and was therefore not criminally responsible, but Desronvil’s refusal to agree with the other eleven jurors resulted in a mistrial.
