Mistrial In Jailed Blogger Case

By Marcus Gilmer in News on Dec 7, 2009 10:20PM

A mistrial has been declared in the case of Hal Turner, a New Jersey blogger jailed for death threats against a trio of federal judges from Chicago. The jury informed the presiding judge both Friday and again today that they were "hopelessly deadlocked." A few weeks ago, as this trial was set to begin, evidence surfaced that showed Turner had previously cooperated with the FBI. A new trial for Turner has been slated for March 1, 2010.
