Mistrial juror in Lindsay Clancy case posts newborn photos as fundraiser tops $350K

Michael Desronvil, the holdout juror in Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial who triggered a mistrial by refusing to convict, posted unseen photos of his newborn daughter as an online fundraiser for his security, legal fees and lost work surpassed $350,000. Desronvil’s attorney says he’s faced death threats and moved to an undisclosed secure location, and he suspects he’s been targeted partly for being Black and Republican. Clancy, 36, has admitted to killing her three children amid postpartum psychosis, with prosecutors arguing the killings were calculated; a mistrial has been declared and a new trial is likely to follow.

Pittsburgh Zoo unveils Kiazi, its new lion cub

The Pittsburgh Zoo’s 4-month-old lion cub Kiazi made her public debut and was named Kiazi, Swahili for potato—a nod to her Idaho-born father Hondo. The name was chosen via a public fundraiser that raised about $5,705 to support the lion pride and other animals. Kiazi spent months bonding with her parents Scarlett and Abana before the debut, and zookeepers introduced her to the outdoor habitat with a cardboard zebra lure.

President Trump arrives in Los Angeles for a Rancho Palos Verdes fundraiser amid security concerns at the golf club and outside protests, while Gov.
