Hung Jury in Leflore County, Mississippi

Last week associate attorney Brady Keeton and lead trial counsel Mike Carr tried a bank robbery case in Leflore County. Main issue in the case was identity of the robber.

Jury was unable to come to an agreement and mistrial was declared. The case will be reset for trial again later this year.

While a hung jury is always frustrating for our clients, we recognize that reasonable minds can differ on the issues. That is the jury system.

This is also the second jury trial in Leflore County in a year where we were down to the last juror in the whole pool and barely able to get a jury. The jury trial system does not work if we don’t have juries.

If you get a summons - please serve. You or a loved one may need a jury one day too.

This was Brady Keeton’s first felony jury trial since graduating law school and passing the bar approximately 4 months ago. Brady is a hard working young lawyer on his way to do great things.

This was Mike Carr’s 101st felony jury trial.
