Third mistrial in Virgil Davis murder case
Brunswick Ga February 4 special for the third time in a year a mistrial seems likely in the murder case of Virgil H Davis charged with killing his wife. Jurors deliberated since 10 30 last night and remain hopelessly divided. They asked to be recharged on circumstantial evidence but the judge Highsmith offered no help. If a third mistrial is declared the case's future is uncertain and a fourth trial may be held outside the Brunswick circuit.
