  • This was the most inefficient trial in history. What an absolute embarrassment to every tax payer in that county
  • @Andy_Idea
    The fact that they didn’t return a “Not Guilty” verdict within the first two hours of deliberation is beyond terrifying… The prosecution didn’t come within a country-mile of proving a single charge ‘beyond a reasonable doubt’. This outcome shatters any remaining faith I had in the US justice system, and confirms a troubling reality: there must undoubtedly be tens of thousands of patently innocent people locked up in American prisons for crimes they clearly did not commit. Utter insanity.
  • @song9119
    The case is essentially a pile of rubble
  • CW DID NOT EVEN MEET ITS BURDEN! Yeah right they will retry!! The uproar of that town to waste tax dollars will come to life!
  • @Caysum21345
    The fact the prosecution intends to retry this case is all I need to know. Corruption all the way from the local cops to the DA.
  • The next move should be to hold accountable, the investigators who falsified evidence. That’s the next move. What a waste of taxpayers money. Ditching your phones which they knew were evidence. These investigators were crooked, inverting the video, and then putting the times back on in the correct direction? The list goes on. All of the experts said his injuries were not consistent with being hit by a car.
  • I’m worried to think all the lying witnesses for the prosecution will be even better liars during retrial given their experience on cross & a 2nd opportunity to correct their responses.
  • I wonder if it would have made a difference if she had testified. Now they are going to re-try. They should be more concerned about the level of corruption in the Canton PD. Straighten that out first.
  • The judge and the prosecuter caused all of this mess, let them live with the consequences of their actions. She came very close to imposing a verdict to the jury!
  • What did Paul say to Karen as he exited? His wife seemed upset at him. Never ends the police intimidation.
  • It should have been NOT guilty verdict. Michael proctor relieved from duties of investigator for attorney General.
  • @Xrealmtv
    Don’t see how they didn’t see reasonable doubt
  • @B.L.S.
    The only part about this I don't believe is that ANY juror was doggedly convinced she was guilty after that shitshow.
  • Called it...but defense needs to appeal the mistrial based on judicial & prosecutorial misconduct (amy ruling may be appealed) . Higher court could look at evidence (incl that not allowed by judge wrt misconduct) and declare a not guilty verdict (overturning a hung jury or guilty ruling).
  • @tinaw.1808
    I'm not surprised that it would be a mistrial. However, overall it should have been not quilty, so much reasonable doubt was there. I feel sorry for the family that this case was not handled appropriately.
  • My heart goes out to the victims family 💔 it's very sad for them
