Oh geez....

Mistrial declared in capital murder trial of Dallas man accused of killing 3-year-old son

July 21, 2021
The capital murder trial for a Dallas man accused of killing his 3-year-old son ended in a mistrial Wednesday.

Jurors were divided 11-1 in favor of convicting Brandon Edwards, 37, defense lawyer Paul Johnson said.

Lawyers questioned the holdout juror in a hearing that was closed to the public. The juror said she did not believe that Edwards was guilty and felt that reviewing the evidence wouldn’t change her mind, Johnson said.

State District Judge Tina Clinton declared a mistrial. Lawyers said it was too early to determine how they’d proceed. Prosecutors could decide to take Edwards to trial again. He previously rejected an offer from prosecutors to plead guilty to murder — not capital murder — in exchange for a 60-year prison sentence.
[.....]
Jurors deliberated about three hours Tuesday before being released for the evening. During the first day of deliberations, they sent a note asking if they could consider other charges besides capital murder. The judge said they could not.

After deliberating about 30 minutes Wednesday, jurors sent several more notes. In one, the jury foreperson said that one juror refused to look at all the evidence, specifically photos. The foreperson asked if the juror could be excused. An alternate juror waited in another room.


A lot more in the article.
