Re:jury dramatically discharged (Posted on: 2012-07-09 21:14:22)
The most likely explananation is that something of a legal nature came to light whilst the trial was going on. This does not necessarily mean some evidence given by a witness. There would have been a time when the jury was sent out so that the Judge could consider a matter of la., Ic could also be that some new information came to light and was, in the opinion of the Judge a reason to stop the trial. Whatever the matter of law or the information was, it is not for the jury to know.
