    Not sure if this was posted yet, but just read this on today's L.A. Times website:

    A mistrial was declared today in the theft and embezzlement trial of Bo Stefan Eriksson, who was involved in the crash of a rare Enzo Ferrari.

    Jurors began deliberations Thursday and told the judge today they were deadlocked. They had voted 10 to 2 for conviction, according to a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County district attorney's office.

    Eriksson faced two counts of grand theft and fraudulent concealment with intent to defraud. Prosecutors said he stopped making payments on and tried to hide two luxury sports cars from the lenders.

    This afternoon, prosecutors said they would retry Eriksson.

    "We are going to try him. It was 10-2 for conviction, so obviously we believe we have a strong case," said Jane Robison, a spokeswoman for Dist. Atty. Steve Cooley.

    prosecution will query the 2 holdouts and adjust their case and retry.
    he should probably be looking at making a plea bargain this time around IMHO.
