Carr Law Firm Jury trial #12 for the year end with a Hung Jury!

Bolivar County criminal trial term week 4 update: one case was tried from a 2019 allegation of sexual battery which resulted in a hung jury. Defendant was represented by Mike Carr of Carr Law Firm. A second case was attempted to be started on Wednesday on a charge of manslaughter, but a sheriff’s deputy accidentally allowed for prospective jurors to see one of the defendants while he was still in an orange jumpsuit and in shackles, which is prejudicial to his right to a fair trial and a constititional violation, therefore caused a mistrial even before the trial could start. This resulted in no convictions this week by the DA’s office.
