Are you asking about how many times a single jury might get sent back to the jury room for more deliberation after delivering a hung jury finding to the judge? It probably depends on the circumstances, but it could be several times. As far as subsequent re-trials of the same case also resulting in repeatedly hung juries, there seems to be no statutory limit how many times a case may be re-tried, but there surely can have been VERY few such instances.

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.
