VANCOUVER — The lawyers for Jamie Bacon say a judge has declared a mistrial in a murder plot case.
Lawyer Kimberly Eldred says in an statement that Justice Catherine Wedge of the B.C. Supreme Court declared a mistrial Saturday night after the jury informed her it could not reach a unanimous verdict.
The jury began its deliberations Thursday evening.
Bacon was charged with one count of counselling to commit murder in the Dec. 31, 2008, shooting of Dennis Karbovanec.
Karbovanec was not killed in the shooting.
The defence says the case will return to court June 14 to schedule further proceedings.
