Is he going to be retried, that is the question.

If she moves to sentence him on the disposal then we'll have our answer I suppose.

Updated today

 

[SpursGyal]

Wonder what’s happened to cause that.

 

[Tortoise]

It seems like something was fudged procedurally. That is my guess.

 

[Kaykedi]

Does this mean that a jury member/members may have "said something', or, have a connection to the defendant/defendant's family?

 

[sunflower22]

Maybe someone on the jury has been discussing the case outside the court
