Apparently the jurors simply could not agree enough to reach a verdict.  Hard to say what will happen in a jury room.My point was simply what I say in SDA classes, that continuing to shoot after any alleged threat has obviously ended often leads to arrest and conviction in OK and states with similar laws, even if there is no conviction on the initial shot, for whatever reason.  Even if the first shot were fully justified (in some other instance) shots after there is no threat just have no justification in OK and similar states.</blockquote>
