Somehow, I missed this story last night; fortunately, Richard Masoner at Cyclelicious seldom seems to miss anything.
He sends word that the trial of Jose Louis Huerta Mundo , charged with misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter in the July death of cyclist Michael Nine in Newport Beach, has ended in a hung jury. According the Daily Pilot , there’s no word on how the jury broke down in in favor or against conviction.
However, the courts aren’t wasting any time; a new trial is set to begin on Tuesday, November 23rd.

The breakdown was undoubtedly 9-3 in favor of guilt. If it was 9-3 in favor of acquittal, the judge would most likely not have allowed the trial to be reset and the case would have been dismissed.

Thanks Jim, they should all work now. I think WordPress had a little hiccup over the weekend.
