If the jury reaches a verdict on three charges and “hangs” on one, only the “hung” charge would be subject to retrial. If the jury convicts on 3 charges, the prosecution would probably drop the last charge. If the jury acquits on the 3 charges, my feeling is that the prosecution wouldn’t retry the case on the last charge, figuring that the renewed effort wouldn’t be worth the probable result.
