Defense 2, State 0

Good news. Got a verdict in the prosecutorial misconduct case yesterday. Jury acquitted on 1st degree murder and hung on 2nd degree and manslaughter.

Just goes to show the damage that prosecutorial misconduct can cause.
1st trial with misconduct, guilty of 1st degree murder.
2nd trial with essentially the same witnesses and evidence, jury can't even agree to manslaughter.

(Although I think one of the jurors was so disgusted by the fake pocket square that they refused to convict.)
