The Mistrial — Mario V. Farina

In the jury room, a vote had been taken concerning whether the accused was guilty or not guilty. The vote was 11 to 1 in favor of not guilty. The lone vote for guilty had been cast by a juror who was present in the room but in a form unknown to the other jurors. Her actions caused a mistrial but there was no doubt as to what she had accomplished. This story is short but it will have you gasping at the end.
