What If Matthew Farwell Got a Hung Jury? Prosecutors Would Do THIS

What if Matthew Farwell’s jury hung instead of reaching a verdict? Bob Motta of Defense Diaries says federal prosecutors would try him again, because U.S. attorneys take a loss personally. A not-guilty verdict would be a different story: Farwell would walk out of the courthouse, and Motta says the state couldn’t stop that right away. Any state case would land with a new Norfolk DA who doesn’t take office until January, and Motta says his wife’s research points to a double jeopardy problem for a state murder charge. What’s left is a case over what prosecutors say Farwell did when Sandra Birchmore was a teen, and Motta calls that evidence amazing. Tony and retired FBI behavior chief Robin Dreeke ask whether a televised state trial would expose Farwell to far more people than this federal case, which has played out with no cameras, ever has.
