Hung jury. Judge suggests Allen charge, Tucker wants to consult with his advisor. Advisor tells Tucker that this is what happens next and Tucker tells judge to go ahead with the Allen charge

Judge says no, it's a mistrial. It's over. I hope state does not bring this case again.

Wow! I don’t think state will retry him! Wow!
He got away with it! I was so sure the jury would believe Travis. I guess Tucker can now sail off into the sunset with his millionairess wife.
Edited to add: Just watched the video and I see state will retry! Wow. I think Tucker has hurt himself by blasting the state so publicly that they can’t afford to just let him go without looking really bad at this point.

If you have 6-7 years to prepare for a trial and a pro se defendant kind of embarrasses you.....you probably should not be going to trial.
I mean, personally I think he's guilty. But they don't really have much on him.

Retrial in March.
Imo, not surprised a mistrial, due to jurors' inability to reach a verdict... deadlock, and hopeful, the state will be more prepared (since they have chosen to go back to court for retrial. Expecting better from them, as taxpayers deserve that, and what's his name shall get a fair trial - jmo
I have to agree 6 years to prepare with a pro se defendant and this is the outcome - embarrassing for the state. They need to tighten up and come back better prepared. I also think Tucker was able to create enough delays and confusion to make their case seem sloppy. Judge helped Tucker achieve that effect. A different judge would do wonders for the state.
Tucker was on Uncivil Law YouTube channel ranting last evening. Kurt told him he was so cool and asked how he was able to get a woman while in jail. He offered to go down to Key West and hang out with him and buy him a fireball. Jokingly said of course but pretty disappointing in how sycophantic he was towards him! He basically sat there and agreed with Tucker that he was being railroaded. Smh

I hope the State retries with a more qualified pair of prosecutors.

UPDATE: the judge that presided over the #TreehouseMurderTrial that ended in a hung jury won’t be handling the retrial. The case has been reassigned to a new judge and Ty Tucker who represented himself is expected back in court in March.

Witness in #FranklinTucker case passed away. Paula Belmonte attempted to testify from her hospital bed in the defense case. The judge struck her testimony and Ty (defendant) used an earlier video testimony she gave. Tucker will stand trial again after the jury was hung.
