What will happen to Jodi Arias if there is a mistrial?
Arias was found guilty of first degree murder on May 8, 2013. In the event of a mistrial, the jury is dismissed. At that point the prosecution has the choice to re-file charges, which means the entire process begins again. Mistrial is, by no means, a not-guilty verdict, just that something went wrong in the judicial process. If the prosecutor feels the case is strong, most likely a new trial will be set. Although not common, there are instances of a single defendant having three or more trials due to a mistrial.
