A Pennsylvania jury couldn't agree on a verdict in the 2016 murder trial of Dawud Rogers, leading to a mistrial.
A mistrial has been declared in the 2016 murder case of Michael William Blackwell after a Lycoming County jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict on Dawud M. Rogers, 44, who faces first-degree murder and related charges.
The 16-member jury, including alternates, deadlocked during deliberations, prompting Judge Nancy Butts to end the trial.
Prosecutors plan to retry the case in about a month, with Rogers remaining in custody.
The prosecution relied on video footage, cell phone data, and witness testimony identifying Rogers as the shooter, while the defense challenged the witness’s credibility, disputed the timeline and vehicle details, and argued the evidence was inconsistent.
No motive was established, and the district attorney has decided not to seek the death penalty.
