It’s like the unfolding of a serialized novel. I wonder why the jury disagreement was not specified.
I think that would be a case for further research to see if I can find the actual court records. Unfortunately I haven’t had much luck so far finding someone who is willing to do research at the Clay County courthouse.
A stroke of luck for him. I hope things went well afterward.
Um, how do I answer that? Sadly, no….
Darn!
