WACO – 54th Criminal District Court – The jury foreman told Judge Matt Johnson that some of the jurors are refusing to consider the evidence in the remaining two charges against Dallas Bandido Jake Carrizal they are to consider as to his guilt or innocence.
He is charged in conspiracy statutes, under the law of parties, for actions of persons he might not even know, but who were involved in what jurors must find is a criminal organization operating in collusion that led to the deaths of 9 and the wounding of 20 men.
They say they are hopelessly deadlocked.
The judge applied the Allen Charge, called the “dynamite charge,” in which a jury is instructed to continue their deliberations.
The charge stems from a 19th century Arkansas murder case decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1896.
If in their deliberations, jurors consider themselves hopelessly deadlocked, they may be charged to continue their efforts in words similar to this model Allen Charge found in a manual of jury instructions.

HMMMMM interesting, thanks for update
Lock Johnson and Abel Reyna up for crimes against “Justice for All”.
Banditos are cowards, criminals, homos and girlies.
Criminal groups are not patriots or Americans.
“Criminal groups are not patriots or Americans.”
But worshipped by some here.
Sadly, you are right.
Who gets to decide which groups are "criminal"...besides you that is.
I doubt I will ever be called for jury duty again.
Last time I told the judge I have experienced police lying and do not give their testimony the same weight I would give non police testimony.
And out the door I went.
The last time I was empanelled, it was a Civil case. I told the judge that I did not believe in non judicial punishment, and if I was picked for the jury, I would do my best to reduce the amount of non judicial punishment to zero. Just like I had done, on a prior case, that I was a juror of. I was not picked. I was told the judge wanted to talk to me. But since it was a Friday and it was running past lunchtime, they cut me loose.
Mistrial declared...court is adjourned.
Can’t help but think this bodes well for the defense going forward.
Lets see if any jurors want their 15 minutes...
