Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit October 17, 2007, 06-4195-cr(L), 06-4198-cr(CON) (United States v. Razmilovic)

KATZMANN, Circuit Judge:

The decision by a district court to declare a mistrial is of great consequence.

The case at hand calls on us to review such a ruling, to determine whether it was an abuse of discretion for a trial court to decide that a single jury note indicating deadlock created a “manifest necessity” to declare a mistrial. On the record before us, we conclude that it was.
