Both involve a legal proceeding being stopped and restarted. A mistrial occurs when the original trial is terminated due to a serious error or issue, while a new trial is scheduled to start fresh after the first trial's outcome is overturned. In both cases, the aim is to ensure a fair legal process and outcome for all parties involved.
What is the difference between a mistrial and a request for a new trial?
A mistrial occurs before the end of the trial, usually caused by improper responses from a witness, improper questions from an attorney or some statement or action in the presence of the jury that prejudices the jury. A mistrial also occurs if the jury is unable to reach a verdict. If a judge declares a mistrial then the trial is finished. A new trial with a new jury usually follows at a later date. A motion for a new trial may be filed by a defense attorney after a defendant has been found guilty at the completion of the original trial. The motion for a new trial is usually based on a defense attorney's perception of an error committed by the judge in the original trial.

If the court of appeals accepted your petition, after studying your trial, they MIGHT agree and send your case back to circuit court for a re-trial.
How many sets of juries have to come to a hung decision before a case is thrown out?
It doesn't work that way. If the jury is truly hung, a mistrial will be declared. After the mistrial, the parties decide whether to have a new trial with a new jury. In the event that the second jury is hung, another mistrial would be declared, and the parties can choose to have another trial. This goes on and on until the parties settle, voluntarily opt to dismiss, or a trial results in a verdict.

What happens when a trial is declared a mistrial?
When a mistrial occurs from prosecutorial error, usually the defendant is retried. In cases where the prosecution deliberately provokes a mistrial because the trial isn't going well and the defendant is likely to be acquitted, the Court will not allow the prosecution to potentially benefit from its misconduct through a retrial. If this happens, the charges against the defendant are generally dismissed.
What happens to the defendent in a mistrail?
