( NewsNation ) — The holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy case is ready to get back to normal after a surge of publicity following the trial.

Michael Desronvil said he is planning to return to his day job next week, with his attorney Edward Patlzik telling TMZ that his client had been laying low since the end of the trial .

The trial for Lindsay Clancy, accused of killing her three young children, lasted more than five weeks, followed by seven days of jury deliberations. The case ended in a mistrial after jurors were unable to reach an agreement.

Desronvil needed time to process what happened, Paltzik said, spending time with his girlfriend and attending church.

He made headlines after being revealed as the lone juror voting to find Clancy guilty.

Prosecutors argued that Clancy had committed a premeditated crime when killing her children, while the defense argued that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and not criminally responsible for her actions.

The jury of nine women and three men was split, with 11 jurors voting to find Clancy not guilty by reason of insanity.

Following the trial, the jury foreperson and other jurors came forward with criticisms of Desronvil, suggesting that he was ignoring the judge’s instructions on reasonable doubt.

He denied those allegations , saying he believes Clancy is guilty of the crime.

Since the trial, he said he had been doxxed and had his personal and legal history made public by people online who disagreed with his position.

Defense Attorney Kevin Reddington has called for an investigation into Desronvil to examine his conduct during the trial, his answers on a pretrial questionnaire and allegations that he used his cell phone during deliberations.

Paltzik pushed back against that motion , saying that investigating jury members would have a chilling effect on people’s willingness to serve on a jury and start a cycle where lawyers investigate any jury when they disagree with the results.
