State v. Allbrooks, ___ N.C. App. ___, 808 S.E.2d 168 (Nov. 21, 2017)
In this murder case, the court succinctly rejected the defendant’s argument that he could not be retried for murder after his first trial ended in a hung jury. It noted that courts have long held that the prohibition against double jeopardy does not apply when the prior trial ended in a hung jury.
