Apologies for the novice question but what's the difference between hung jury and not guilty-does not guilty have to be unanimous like guilty verdict ? If not that means hung jury ? Just double checking - if this goes to him jury what are the chances they get re indicted before getting out .. Borgesi must be going nuts at this point
As far as i know, not guilty is just that, the jury voted (usually unanimously) that there was not enough evidence to prove the charges. Hung Jury is when the jury can't agree on a verdict. Hung jury usually means they'll start the trial again with a new jury, though they might have to re-indict first.
If a guy is found not guilty he can't be tried again on the same charges, it's the double jeopardy rule.
Feel free to correct me on that, i'm not a lawyer but thats what i believe the terms mean.
