		As a result, Judge Hodges stated that he was going to "call this a hung jury." He orally declared a mistrial based on the jury's inability to agree on a verdict and stated that the "case will be retried at a later date." Again, the court asked counsel if they had any comments.
		In short, Defendant was not subjected to double jeopardy because of the failure of the trial judge to enter a contemporaneous written order declaring a mistrial and reserving the case for retrial.
