Multiple sources describe the lone holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy trial, Michael Desronvil, as a devout Catholic from a Haitian immigrant family, with one account saying he was born in Haiti and moved to the US as a child; the claim held as of 2026-09-16.

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

What we found

Supports. The Catholic Herald, published 2026-09-16, reports the holdout juror is a devout Catholic immigrant from Haiti.[1]

Supports. iHeart reports Desronvil says he is a devout Catholic, and the host states he moved to the United States at age four into a Haitian immigrant family.[2]

Supports. Christian Post reports the juror was born in Haiti, moved to Massachusetts as a child, and discussed his Catholic faith in an interview.[3]

Supports. Wonderwall reports Desronvil is from a Haitian immigrant family and that some described him as a devout Catholic, though its sourcing is secondhand.[4]

Supports. The Boston Herald identifies the juror as a 48-year-old from a Haitian immigrant family, though it does not address his religion.[5]

Context. Some outlets describe the juror as being in his 30s, and the Hungarian Conservative calls him a Black man from a Haitian immigrant family; these age and background details conflict with other reports but do not bear on the Catholic or Haitian-immigrant claim.[6]
