I'm fairly certain they'll just find a new jury
Sure sounds like justice.
we gonna keep trying until we win...
tbh that is the ruling class MO tho
I mean… it does seem pretty fair? If the jury is hung it’s up to the state to retry. If the jury comes back not guilty then that’s the end of it.
Fortunately in criminal trials if the Jury can return a not guilty verdict, that's game over for the states case. Double jeopardy they can't retry.
Now if one guy on the Jury opposes a guilty verdict, and no verdict is reached, then the state can retry.
They could also go after him with Thompson's family in civil suit to destroy him financially, which it turns out is not double jeopardy
