A federal jury has quit deliberating for the
day in the federal corruption trial of former Batesville Prosecutor
T- J- Hively and two others.
Jurors are scheduled to return to court tomorrow for their
fourth full day of deliberations in the case.
Hively faces 16 counts from a hung jury in his first federal
trial. His former law partner Wesley "Butch" Ketz and bail
bondsman Gary Edwards are charged for the first time. All three are
accused of turning the prosecutors office into a criminal
enterprise.
The jury is down to eleven members after one was excused for
medical reasons Friday.
The jury had an alternate member in case one of the twelve
regular members had to be dismissed during trial, but a juror can
NOT be replaced once deliberations begin.
