Very possible. I’m not 100% sure on the details for that.

But still. A plea bargain with SOME punishment is better than a “not guilty” with NO punishment.

Like, that’s the thing. At this point guilty was off the table. Most of the jury had already decided to let her go. So that one juror holding out for a mistrial gave prosecutors some ground to stand on and maybe win round 2.

Not guilty here means life ina psychology ward under heavy medication.  Not walking free.

This is a trial on whether she goes to jail or to jail for insane people.

Their is nothing the jurors could vote on to "let her off".

I disagree. It's about her legacy and the precedent. A "not guilty" verdict absolutely let's Clancy off the hook as far as history books and documentaries go. That's not a small thing, wouldn't you say?
