'American hero': Internet rallies behind Clancy holdout juror after Trump’s former lawyer steps in
The lone holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy case is facing intense attention after his attorney described him as an 'American Hero and Champion of Justice.' Attorney Edward Paltzik, who previously represented President Donald Trump, now represents Michael P. Desronvil, the juror whose 11-1 split with the rest of the jury led to a mistrial. Desronvil has spoken out for the first time, disputing fellow jurors’ claims that he wavered during deliberations. Paltzik says his client is staying in an undisclosed rural area in New England and has called for him to be protected amid safety concerns.
