What Does a Hung Jury Meanの基本情報から最新動向までをわかりやすく整理しました。

• A hung jury means the jurors could not reach the required unanimous verdict.
• It leads to a mistrial, not an acquittal, so the defendant is neither convicted nor cleared.
• Prosecutors can usually retry the case with a new jury, negotiate a plea, or, less commonly, dismiss the charges.
• Hung juries are more common in serious, complex, or high-profile cases than in minor offenses.
• A hung jury does not mean the defendant is innocent; it means the first jury could not agree on a final answer.
