Mistrial in Waco
After 23 days of trial and 14 hours of jury deliberation, a mistrial was declared in the Waco trial of Jacob Carrizal, the first of 154 people indicted in the 2015 Twin Peaks shoot-out to go to trial. The Waco Tribune-Herald has a full report. The jury was deadlocked, and it appears that there were no more than six jurors supporting conviction. The process of prosecuting these cases has already cost nearly $1,000,000.
The DA threw everything he had into this one. It will be fascinating to see what happens next...
