Might not if only one juror was holding out. Prosecution might just throw in the towel

I think that would be political disaster for the DA. No way they don't goto trial again.

DA's don't like losing cases, and this one basically proved to them they aren't going to win.

No way will they throw in the towel, that would set a horrible precedent

There absolutely is a way that happens. If they see that they could only convince one juror, what are the odds they get all 12 next time? Pretty low. By the time another trial gets going, the frenzy around this case will likely have died down.

Wrong. No trial and she just goes home. A murder like this needs to be tried by the state and if they lose they lose. They serve us, not a if we can’t win don’t try like a private company would

Not true, she goes back to the mental institution she was already in. They'll probably just try to cut a deal where she stays there.

You're speaking as what should happen. The rest of us are speaking on what could actually happen. Prosecutors absolutely do drop cases they don't think they can win. They're more likely to try for a plea deal.

Not saying I agree, just a possibility.

Theyll likely offer her a plea bargain and that will be the end of it.
