UPDATE | Unclear whether prosecutors will retry officer in Freddie Gray case


BALTIMORE (AP) — It's not immediately clear whether prosecutors are going to retry Officer William Porter after there was a hung jury in the Freddie Gray case.

An administrative hearing was scheduled for Thursday to discuss a possible retrial date. Porter waived his right to appear.

A mistrial was declared today on the third day of deliberations for the jury of seven women and five men. They deliberated for a total of about 15 hours but couldn't reach a decision in Porter's manslaughter trial.

On Tuesday, they indicated they were deadlocked, but Circuit Judge Barry Williams told them to keep working.

Porter was charged with manslaughter, assault, reckless endangerment and misconduct in Gray's arrest and death.

Community activists in the city are criticizing prosecutors after the mistrial.
