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.

Believing that post partum psychosis can lead to terrible tragedies is not an extremist fringe belief. Believing that better treatment and healthcare for pregnant and post partum women in order to prevent these kinds of tragedies is not an extremist fringe belief. I will not stand by and let people like you frame those beliefs as extremist or fringe or not worthy of being taken seriously.

Sweet Straw Man fallacy, bro. In my line of work, that’s called “dialling the intellectual bankruptcy up to 11”.

I mean, if you wildly misinterpret my statements of “this is what the baddies will weaponize against you and women’s rights” as anything else other than exactly that, then there is nothing else I can do; you are fully insulated from any reasonable or rational debate. You are acting as a troll, manufacturing rage to more easily spout lies and claim falsehoods.

Because I never said anything of the above quoted, either online or off.
