Lindsay Clancy could try to use the fact that jurors nearly found her not guilty of murder for strangling her kids to leverage a settlement \u2014 potentially millions of dollars \u2014 in her lawsuits against the doctors she claimed failed her, experts told The Post.<\/p>\n

The gripping triple murder case against the 36-year-old Duxbury, Massachusetts mom ended with a deadlocked jury Friday but several jurors have since revealed that 11 out of the 12 panelists were prepared to find her not guilty by reason of insanity and didn\u2019t buy the prosecutions\u2019 case.<\/p>\n

Clancy could use to bolster negotiations in the civil case, legal observers say. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like a leverage play when you\u2019re negotiating or mediating,\u201d said Seth Zuckerman, a New York lawyer who handles both criminal and civil cases. <\/p>\n

\u201c[It\u2019s] a case to say, look jurors have already heard this evidence and thought that the hospital was wrong and misdiagnosed her. And 11 out of 12 were prepared to find her not guilty because of this defect, which means basically that they didn\u2019t think that the medical providers did the right thing by her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another expert suggested the settlement could reach seven figures.<\/p>\n

At trial, Clancy\u2019s criminal attorney, Kevin Reddington, asked jurors to find her not criminally responsible based on the claim she was suffering from severe postpartum psychosis made worse by several psychiatric medications her doctors gave her.<\/p>\n

Clancy is suing hospitals, doctors and other providers who treated her in the four months before the murders when she mentally spiraled as she desperately battled insomnia, anxiety, depression and intrusive thoughts about suicide and harming her kids. <\/p>\n

Her lawsuit claims her providers failed to properly diagnose her and put her on a revolving door of powerful medications, ultimately leading to her killing Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, on Jan. 24, 2023 before she tried to take her own life. <\/p>\n

Clancy\u2019s then-husband Patrick Clancy also has a lawsuit pending against her providers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s persuasive if you\u2019re talking to the defense attorney or insurance carrier as to why they should settle this because you already have some anecdotal knowledge from the from a juror as to what they thought of this,\u201d Zuckerman said.<\/p>\n

Three jurors revealed in an interview with NBC 10 Boston they felt the prosecution\u2019s case was \u201charsh\u201d and that they failed to put on any witnesses who said Clancy was a bad mom, leading the jurors to believe she \u201csnapped.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another jury member told CBS News Boston the prosecution \u201cdidn\u2019t have a figurative smoking gun\u201d and the case had \u201ctoo much gray area.\u201d<\/p>\n
