A federal court judge in Tucson declared a mistrial Friday afternoon in the high-profile murder trial of U.S. Border Patrol agent Nicholas Corbett.
Jurors sent a note to U.S. District Judge David C. Bury shortly before 3 p.m., saying they were still deadlocked after more than 20 hours of deliberations.
Bury called the jurors into the courtroom and quizzed the foreman, who assured him they found it impossible to reach a unanimous verdict.
The judge tentatively set a new trial date of April 22 for Corbett, who is charged with second-degree murder, manslaughter and negligent homicide in the death of Francisco Javier Domínguez Rivera on Jan. 12, 2007.
He is accused of shooting Domínguez Rivera after stopping him and three others in the desert between Bisbee and Douglas, near the U.S.-Mexico line.
