BALTIMORE -- A hung jury forced Baltimore Circuit Judge Thomas Ward to declare a mistrial yesterday for two illegal aliens charged in the brutal beating of three young relatives whose throats were slashed to the point of near decapitation.
Prosecutors immediately vowed to retry the case.
Judge Ward said the jury of seven black women and five black men had been deadlocked since the start of 10 days of deliberation in the case against Adan Canela, 18, and Policarpio Espinoza Perez, 23.
