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 Masts children over the Trump administrations 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. Attorneys Office in the Southern District of Florida.

Miami Jury...
Yeah sure they give a crap about immigration laws.
Methinks I see “jury nullification” here.
Are Democrats ugly because they are Democrats...or are they Democrats because they are ugly?

He should have been convicted. What was the matter with the jurors?!
Who decided Miami was the place for this trial? That person is an idiot writ large.
Moving closer to civil war
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.
Turn the tables on him!!
If they want a hung jury, let’s hang the jury, or at least the ones who voted for not guilty.
Jury nullification at its best.
