Like, why are y'all taking so long to just come to an agreement when it's there, it's clear?

The prosecution and defense knew it could go either way.

So as the jury deliberated, they were discussing a plea deal.

The number one thing that any plea offer is going to require, tell us what you did with Jaylee.

We wanted Mr. Jimmy, we wanted Miss Stephanie to be able to bury their son.

They deserve that.

But Harrington turned the deal down and the jurors kept talking to no avail.

After a total of nine and a half hours of deliberations, a mistrial.

Just sick, you know, just sick for the family, for your team, for justice.

But it took a lot of prayer for you to stay calm.

For you to not let that anger take over.

In that moment, Chief McCutcheon wanted to be there for the man he now called his friend.

He took Jimmy's hand.

I'll never forget.

We all left the courthouse.

We go back to the district attorney's office.

And it was, you know what?

Tomorrow's a new day.

Let's get back after it.

And let's go find Jay.
