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.
