Hung Jury Delays Justice in Fatal SR 95 Crash; New Trial Scheduled for March

A manslaughter trial related to a fatal traffic incident in Lake Havasu City has concluded with a hung jury. The trial, held in the Mohave County Superior Court, centered around the deaths of two individuals resulting from a vehicular crash.

After more than five hours of deliberation spanning two days, jurors reported their inability to reach a consensus to Judge Derek Carlisle. The stalemate leaves uncertainty regarding the defendant’s future, as a new trial may be scheduled or charges could potentially be dismissed.

This outcome reflects the complexities often present in cases involving traffic fatalities, where evidence and witness testimonies can lead to varying interpretations of fault and accountability.
