A fundraiser for the lone holdout juror in Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial has been flooded with donations after he defended himself for holding his ground.
Michael P. Desronvil, 48, explained on Thursday that he believed the prosecution presented “enough proof that she [Clancy] knew exactly what she was doing” when she fatally strangled her three young children with exercise bands.
The high-profile trial ended in a mistrial after Desronvil refused to side with the 11 other jurors to find Clancy not guilty of murder by reason of insanity.
An online fundraiser, set up to “stand with” Desronvil after he was thrust into the limelight, has now reached over $286,000 as of Friday morning — with one anonymous donor contributing a jaw-dropping $10,000.
“If they come for him, and they will, this is to cover security, lawyers, and lost work,” the fundraiser, launched by Tom Hennessy, states.
Since Desronvil came forward on Thursday evening, donations from $5 to $100 have rolled in every few minutes.

Desronvil’s lawyer, Edward Andrew Paltzik, thanked Hennessy and others for his efforts to protect his client.
However, the attorney said he would be establishing “an authorized, consolidated, and official fundraiser for our Heroic Holdout moving forward.”
