George Zimmerman trial: What if there's a hung jury?
But their verdict must be unanimous, so if all six can't agree, the trial could end with a hung jury.
"Hung jury is not a verdict. A hung jury is a mistrial," says Orlando defense attorney Lyle Mazin. "If the jury hangs the judge will declare a mistrial. "
If a mistrial is declared, the state can retry Zimmerman, Mazin said.
