Sometimes that happens, sometimes it doesn't. Many factors involved in the decision to retry, mainly feasibility and often, to some extent, optics.

Why so much jury fanfic and no discussion of real things really happening outside. Like this brass-balled masterpiece:
Yeah; I have a bad feeling about this.
Two overarching thoughts: one, nothing would surprise me at this point. And two, we will be unpacking takeaways on this one for years. Definitely one of the more interesting of the high-profile, emotionally contentious cases in a couple of years cram filled with such cases.

Told you guys not to try and anticipate a jury. I've seen "regular " murders take multiple days.
Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.
Juries are truly a wild card. My fastest verdict was 4 mins. I’ve had some go overnight and into the next day. All of my trials have been less than 3 or 4 days, and had less than 20 pieces of evidence admitted. Sometimes there’s a holdout. Sometimes they just want to see everything again. Sometimes there’s true deliberation. Sometimes they just want to go home. The more I dealt with juries, the less I believed I could figure out any sort of behavior. Even the typical stereotypes (if they look at you/don’t look at you, nod, cross their arms, whatever) aren’t reliable. My last jury was nodding along and giving me every sign possible that they were buying my argument (I literally had a juror finish one of my sentences in closing when I paused to take a breath), and they ruled against me in 20 mins.
Man, is that a trap or something?
This is art.
