Instead of freedom for Anthony Morrison—given that a jury for the third time around has been unable to arrive at a verdict in the case against him for the alleged murder of his reputed wife, the man now faces more time behind bars, owing to his attorney Maxwell McKay’s failure to inform the court that he had already faced two previous trials which ended in hung juries.
After about three hours of deliberations yesterday by the jury which was hearing Morrison’s third trial for the capital indictment, the forewoman reported to the court that the panel was unable to arrive at a verdict.
She announced that they were divided in a proportion of nine in favour of the man’s guilt and three for his acquittal.
