Tried

Mistrials

• The court determining that it lacks jurisdiction over a case.
• Evidence being admitted improperly, or new evidence that might seriously affect the outcome of the trial being discovered.
• Misconduct by a party, juror, or an outside actor, if it prevents due process.
• A hung jury which cannot reach a verdict with the required degree of unanimity. In a criminal trial, if the jury is able to reach a verdict on some charges but not others, the defendant may be retried on the charges that led to the deadlock, at the discretion of the prosecution.
• Disqualification of a juror after the jury is empaneled, if no alternative juror is available and the litigants do not agree to proceed with the remaining jurors, or the remaining jurors not meeting the required number for a trial.
• The illness or death of a juror or attorney.
