2 acquitted, hung jury on 2, judge declared mistrial (on 2).
Will there be a 3rd trial?
This is not commonly discussed in MSM.

With the Federal government’s interest in a monopoly on force, I think they’re fully committed to trying this a 3rd, 4th, ....

God bless the jury! Jail that prosecutor and the judge who would institute triple jeopardy to satisfy their own vendetta against these men. Where are the conservative judicial groups that should be sounding off about this kangaroo court? Are they too busy fund raising?

Yes, there will be a 3rd and 4th.
But, the question about the 3rd was related to the charges against the charges against the two that the jury could not agree on.
Yes, this is a kangaroo court. Federal prosecution looks very very bad. And they deserve it on handling of this.

Thank you.
Yesterday my wife told me she had read where the jury did not convict them, but until this morning I did not know the details.
Two more group trials are pending. Some of these people have been arrested for 18 months without bail. Headshake

After all the cases are prosecuted.
It is rare when Federal Prosecutors lose a case.

The Judges handling of the case will make it less likely that they succeed in the following 2 group trials. Which I access as good. But you can never take for granted the outcome of a trial.
And today, Prosecutors have powerful tools to use in picking jurors. enough said?

Perhaps a bit of jury nullification involved? Good.

My friend was a witness who was called to the stand. She said you would never in your life believe what the prosecution did to these guys. Wouldn’t even let them have a defense. But the jury knew what was going on, Thank God.

The federal prosecutor is going to retry the two on the hung charges.

Let’s hope they now file a civil action and sue the Feds for millions, in the same jurisdiction.
