Mentuck trial ends in hung jury after three days of deliberation
After three days of deliberation on a high profile murder case, a seven woman three man jury could not reach a verdict against Mentuck in the death of Amanda Cook. A new trial date may be set for March 13 as defense moves for a venue change and bail. The case featured an interim publication ban on undercover scenarios used to obtain confessions and a legal challenge by major newspapers.
