Description

Per Curiam. Ricky Lynn Wallis was indicted on one count of a multi-count, multi-defendant indictment for possession with intent to distribute
approximately 1687 pounds of marijuana in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) (1988). Wallis's first trial, a joint
trial with several coconspirators, was declared a mistrial as to Wallis when the prosecutor asked an improper question concerning
a coconspirator's guilty plea. Wallis's second trial also was declared a mistrial when the jurors were unable to reach a verdict
and reported that they were "irrevocably hung." The jurors revealed that they were split eleven to one in favor of Wallis's
acquittal.
