The state’s top prosecutor says he is not pleased with Wednesday’s mistrial in the case of Hinds County District Attorney Robert Shuler Smith. The case centered on whether Smith improperly helped a defendant named Christopher Butler evade criminal prosecution. In September, Attorney General Jim Hood’s office charged Smith with conspiracy to hinder prosecution and illegally assisting a criminal defendant. During the final moments of the trial, Jim Waide, an attorney for Smith said he discovered one juror “had some prior opinion of Robert,” the Clarion-Ledger’s Anna Wolfe reported. “Unfortunately, we learned after a 2-1/2 week trial that a juror talked during deliberations about having known the defendant,” Hood said through a news release.
