MIAMI — A judge declared a mistrial Monday in the murder trial of former Miami Hurricanes player Rashaun Jones, accused of the shooting of teammate Bryan Pata in 2006.
About an hour after the six jurors began their second day of deliberations, Florida 11th Circuit Judge Cristina Miranda came into the courtroom to address the attorneys, reading a statement from the jurors: “At this point we are deadlocked with no one willing to move.” Miranda instructed them to keep trying, but after about another hour, they again said they could not render a verdict.
