The article states that at least one juror seemed in sympathy with Dusek. FWIW.

Not that the media would ever lie or spin, but if this is true, it's looking more and more like a hung jury.

Since politics might be the main motivation for this trial, I wonder whether politics would dictate a retrial, or just let it drop off the front pages so everyone forgets?

I suspect in case of a hung jury, a retrial would be planned, possibly waiting for results where these entomologists could better duplicate the weather & body conditions in this case and experiment till they had an answer more to the pros. liking. No statue of limitations on murder. And if not, then the case dropped. In reality, it might not be a bad idea IMO, I would prefer to have a clearer answer. Of course when you throw politics into the equation, anything could happen IMO.
