Holdout juror had no doubt Clancy was guilty, but prosecutors have yet to decide what comes next
Juror explains his decision
Desronvil spoke on Fox & Friends on Thursday in his first television interview since the trial. He said he had no doubt Clancy was guilty and that her “thought process” during the killings struck him.
He described her as methodical while strangling the children. “The focus has to be on the children,” Desronvil said, adding that they were the ones without anyone fighting for them.
Case remains unresolved
Prosecutors have not announced whether they will try her again. They could pursue first-degree murder charges, seek lesser charges or drop the case.
Family looks ahead
Clancy’s former husband, Patrick Clancy, found the children’s bodies and has said in interviews that he forgives her. In a September interview with 60 Minutes, he said he and his new wife, a fertility doctor, are starting a family. He said they plan to share memories of the children they lost with their future children.
