What happens if the jury is deadlocked?
What happens when a jury gets into a deadlock depends on the law of the country concerned. In the United States a deadlocked jury results in a mistrial and the case will, possibly, have to be retried. Things are a little easier in England and Wales as the judge can accept a majority verdict of 10-2. If this cannot be achieved the case will most likely be retried. These a just a couple of examples of what can happen with a deadlocked jury but this will vary depending on the country that is trying the case.

It was deadlocked. (correct)The jury could not agree on a verdict. They were deadlocked. (incorrect but more common)

That is known as a "Deadlocked" or a "Hung Jury."

In the final analysis if the jury remains deadlocked a "mis-trial" will be declared. And a new trial will be scheduled.

In a murder trial what happens if all members of the jury do not agree on the verdict?
If the jury in a murder trial cannot reach a unanimous verdict, it results in a hung jury. This means that the jury is deadlocked and unable to come to a consensus on the defendant's guilt or innocence. In such cases, the judge may declare a mistrial, and the prosecution may choose to retry the case with a new jury or drop the charges altogether. The decision to pursue a retrial depends on various factors, including the strength of the evidence and the specifics of the case.
