Decision Flopped

Murder, or manslaughter? A jury in Jefferson County Circuit Court in Louisville, Ky., couldn’t quite decide, so they flipped a coin. Murder, came the verdict against Phillip Givens, 28, who was charged with killing his girlfriend. Rumors of the jurors’ decision method buzzed around the courthouse and eventually got back to Judge Kenneth Conliffe, who declared a mistrial. “It’s something I read about in law school,” said Givens’ lawyer, “but something I’ve never seen in 15 years of trial practice.” (Reuters) ...Yep, in Kentucky they usually cut a deck of cards.
