Hung jury

One day of trial on a felony violation of a no-contact order, seven hours of wondering, and four notes from the jury room later, twelve people answered "No" when the judge brought them back in and asked, "do you feel that further deliberation will result in a verdict?"

Oh well, it's better than a guilty verdict. My client's still in custody though.

Skelly: muddying the headwaters of decision since 1987.
