Eight-year-old on trial as jury deadlocks in Bay City case
In Bay City Michigan a probate court jury failed to reach a verdict on a juvenile delinquency case involving an eight year old accused of four counts of spray painting vehicles. Assistant prosecutor Jeannie McGavin planned to seek a retrial. Defense attorney George R. Phillips criticized the proceedings as a waste of taxpayer money. The judge dismissed additional charges for lack of evidence. The boy’s father and mother defended his innocence amid concerns over the case’s handling and costs. The boy reportedly slept at the counsel table during proceedings.
