Multiple outlets, though mostly lower-credibility or unrated, report that the holdout juror Michael P. Desronvil is a Black man, a devout Catholic, a Haitian immigrant (he reportedly moved to the US at age four), and a Republican/MAGA supporter per his attorney.

This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

What was said

… Well, Michael Marcel found the juror and got an interview with him, didn't post it, but gave a recap of everything that he was told in the interview, and he said, "This man, are you ready for this? This is gonna blow their minds. He's not only a Black man, he's Catholic, he's conservative, he's Republican, and get ready for this, he's an immigrant from Haiti." What? Oh my gosh!

What we found

Supports. Juror Paula Devlin told CBS Mornings host Gayle King that the holdout juror was a Black man, as reported by the Catholic Herald.[4]

Supports. Multiple reports describe the holdout juror as a devout Catholic from a Haitian immigrant family, and an interview recap says he moved to the US at age four.[3][5][6][7]

Supports. The juror's attorney described him as a MAGA Republican, and a President Trump supporter who is conservative, as reported by Townhall and iHeart.[7][8]

Contradicts. A Hindustan Times item claims the juror is not an immigrant because he married a Haitian immigrant, but this single low-credibility report conflicts with multiple other accounts that he moved to the US as a child.[9]

Context. The AP and Reuters reports on the trial and mistrial do not address the juror's ethnicity, religion or party affiliation, and most identity details come from unrated outlets relaying the attorney's statements.[1][2]
