The jury deliberates, says they're hung. I defended the whole case. You defend the whole case based on the more serious charge. They're hung.

You give them the Allen charge, which in a lot of jurisdictions, as I've already mentioned, is unconstitutional. To coerce the jury, they still stand tall. And then you say, sorry, we were just joking. We're going to dismiss that. How is that not once in jeopardy on this case? I don't understand that.

Well, the defense objected, first of all. The defense strenuously objected to the top count being dismissed. And the reason why the defense bar was so up in arms over the weekend was we don't want this to be a trend where prosecutors overcharge cases. Hey, I'm on the top count. We get two bites at the apple. All right, fine. We didn't get the man one. We'll dismiss that.

Unfortunately, it's a story often told, and it is... To some degree, it's repulsive. The whole idea here that you have, first of all, the idea that Daniel Penny would be prosecuted, I know that you want to go under the civil, I just can't leave the criminal. This, to me, was such an outrageous prosecution.
