Miami jury hung in case of 68-year-old Laurence Key

A mistrial was declared Thursday in the case of a man from Stuart, Florida, who was charged last year for threatening to kill Rep. Brian Mast’s children over the Trump administration’s family separation immigration policy.

Laurence Key, 68, is charged with one count of communicating a threat to kidnap or injure a person. But the trial that began Monday in Miami was declared a mistrial after the jury was hung, TCPalm reported, citing court documents and a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of Florida.

Who decided Miami was the place for this trial? That person is an idiot writ large.

It’s OK to do that for Republicans.

What was the matter with the Jurors?

I can answer that in one word: Miami.

Get the trial out of Miami and you’ll have a just outcome.

Probably what I would call an "OJ Jury", which wouldn't convict someone of their own skin color regardless of the evidence.

If they want a hung jury, let’s hang the jury, or at least the ones who voted for not guilty.
