DW has to stay in jail, no bail. He doesn't have anywhere to go anyway, unless he wants to stay in his lawyer's house.

This may be a really stupid question, then, but I really don't know the answer.
Can California hold him indefinitely in jail without giving him another trial? I know I'm thinking way ahead of myself here, but if there's a hung jury, could the state just sort of "sweep it under the rug" and just keep him locked up? Does anyone know the rules?
