  Hung jury - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A hung jury is a jury that can not agree upon a verdict after an extended period of deliberation and is deadlocked with irreconcilable differences of opinion.
Juries in criminal cases are generally required to reach a unanimous verdict, while juries in civil cases typically have to reach some set level of majority consensus short of unanimity.
A hung jury is generally regarded as the next best thing to a defense verdict, so the larger size of the jury increases the chances of dissension.
