Jury hung in first degree murder trial of Boston man
Suffolk Superior Court # 03-10244. After nearly two weeks of trial and deliberations a Suffolk County jury deadlocked in the trial of a Boston man charged with first degree murder. The government contended that the victim was a drug dealer with whom the defendant had frequent dealings. It was further alleged that the defendant, along with others, conspired to rob the victim of either drugs or money by luring him out of his home on the pretext of buying some cocaine from him. The defense succeeded in exposing the inadequacies of the police investigation. Additionally, the defense elicited evidence that the police had compromised the crime scene and destroyed valuable and potentially exculpatory evidence. The case will be retried on November 28, 2005.
