A mistrial is declared when a trial is terminated without a verdict due to an error or misconduct that could prevent a fair outcome, such as a jury being unable to reach a unanimous decision, improper jury selection, or a procedural error that affects the rights of the defendant. This results in the need for a new trial to be conducted.
It doesn't work that way. If the jury is truly hung, a mistrial will be declared. After the mistrial, the parties decide whether to have a new trial with a new jury. In the event that the second jury is hung, another mistrial would be declared, and the parties can choose to have another trial. This goes on and on until the parties settle, voluntarily opt to dismiss, or a trial results in a verdict.
A deadlocked jury is one that cannot come to a final agreement on a verdict. If they remain deadlocked, it is declared a mistrial.
