Felony sexual assault charge dismissed, Jury Unable to Reach Conclusion on Guilt or Innocence of remaining felony charges after trial
Our client faced a maximum sentence of life in prison. After a week long jury trial on an A Felony sexual assault charge, among others, the jury could not reach a conclusion on his guilt or innocence, known as a “hung jury.” One of the charges was dismissed at the close of the prosecution’s case and is forever barred from re-prosecution. The remaining charges may be retried, but our client remains a free man until that decision is made by the government.
