DA’s Office Fails to Prove Case Again

Hung Jury!  Client charged with trafficking meth in Circuit Court of Quitman County. Officers could not account for all the evidence seized during the search.  Crime lab could not confirm that the suspected drug weight was enough for trafficking charge. Multiple witnesses identified but not interviewed.  While every hung jury is frustrating for a client, it is simply evidence that this DAs office was unable to prove the charge in the Indictment to all 12 jurors beyond a reasonable doubt.  Second hung jury this week in Quitman County. No convictions.
