A hung jury occurs when the jurors in a trial are unable to reach a unanimous decision on the defendant's guilt or innocence. This means that the jury is deadlocked and cannot come to a consensus. A hung jury does not always result in an acquittal, as the case may be retried with a new jury.
If a jury cannot reach a verdict, it is considered a hung jury, and the case may result in a mistrial. In this situation, the prosecution can choose to retry the case with a new jury.

No, a hung jury and a mistrial are not the same thing. A hung jury occurs when jurors cannot reach a unanimous decision, leading the court to declare a mistrial specifically due to the jury's inability to agree. A mistrial, on the other hand, can result from various factors, including procedural errors, juror misconduct, or external influences, not just a hung jury. In both cases, the trial is not concluded, and the case may be retried.

In a civil case, if a jury is evenly split and cannot reach a unanimous decision, it would typically result in a hung jury. As a result, the case may need to be retried with a new jury to reach a verdict.

There is no such expression as a "jury is hung like a horse." When a jury is hung, it means they are unable to reach a unanimous decision. There may be one juror that disagrees with the majority, the members of the jury divided 50/50 on which way to go, or they may be split somewhere in between. When a person is said to be "hung like a horse" it refers to his anatomy.
