In a typical case, a prosecutor will only seek a retrial if he believes there's a reasonable chance it will lead to a conviction. With two hung juries, split right down the middle, it would suggest that they'll never get a verdict. If this were not a politically charged case, it would be dropped.

If I were the judge, I would've simply told the jury to get back to work, and to not come back without a verdict.

Yup. Verdict shopping in a racially charged case in a PC state.

Two justice systems.

One to impassionately determine guilt or innocence and the other to meet the demands of the entitled mob. One driven by the rule of law and the other by the liberal mentality.
