Mistrial!
Gojo has yet to weigh in on the current situation.
It is so hard to believe that, after debating a little over 10 hours, the jury was irrevocably hung! I guess they don’t run juries like “Twelve Angry Men” any more.
Still, I have to believe that the prosecution didn’t present their case as well as they could have. The insurance policy was never mentioned. Surely greed is a motive that the jury could understand. Then, there was the sweater. They didn’t emphasize that the important thing is that it wasn’t in Jason’s luggage. They didn’t actually emphasize a lot, except for Jason’s infidelity. And really, people…spouses are unfaithful all the time, without committing murder. I don’t know…it just seemed like the prosecutor didn’t bring her “A” game.
So, there’s going to be a retrial. I hope. Because Jason Young killed his wife.
There are some plusses for the prosecution. They have Jason locked into a story. Now they just need to disprove it. They also know what didn’t work.
So, let’s go! Let’s get this thing up and running again. Michelle and Ryland deserve Justice.
We shall see.
