FL - Coral Springs - Woman Allegedly Killed Friend After Girls’ Night Out, But Claims She Blacked Out, Nov 2019

In NC the judge has the power to add 2nd degree murder to the 1st Degree Murder charge the DA charges. This way the jury can assess a case such as this and a verdict is possibly more possible. If the charge is only 1st Degree, as said earlier, all it takes is one hold-out, and a mistrial must be declared. Also the suspect can always make a deal on 2nd or manslaughter if one is offered by the DA.

Here's one explanation I found:
