Hung Jury!

This week Carr Law Firm lead trial counsel Mike Carr represented Erica Collins in a charge of First Degree Murder in Coahoma County stemming from a June 3, 2022 incident resulting in the death of her child’s father.

After one day of jury selection and one day of testimony, the 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. We do not know the split. The courts do not tell us. It could have been 6-6. It could have been 11-1. And the split could have been in favor of guilty or not guilty. We won’t know. That is the jury system.

We will continue to fight for our client as she continues to go through this legal process. We will just have to wait longer.

We work for justice. We get results.
