Hung jury means they can retry if they want. The Davis family gets to go through this again.

At this point Florida is the wild west and people will need to avenge the deaths of their loved ones.

This is the state that gave us George, Jeb, declared Anthony & Zimmerman not-guilty.....it will be a long road with low optimism.

This is the count dealing with the death of Jordan Davis. On this count they have 4 choices, guilty of M1, guilty of M2, guilty of manslaughter, or not guilty.

They can't come to a unanimous decision on any of it. That's why I think at least one person (and maybe more) are going for not guilty.
