Harrison v. Gillespie, No. 08-16602

By FindLaw Staff on January 06, 2010 | Last updated on March 21, 2019

In a capital habeas matter, a denial of petitioner's habeas petition is reversed where the state sought to retry petitioner and seek the death penalty following a mistrial, but there was no manifest necessity for the trial court to have declared a mistrial without first polling the jury in order to determine whether petitioner had been acquitted of the death penalty.
