The Latest: Prosecutor unsure on third trial in burning case
BATESVILLE, Miss. (AP) — The Latest on a mistrial in the case of a Mississippi woman burned to death (all times local):
5 p.m.
A Mississippi prosecutor says he isn't sure yet whether he will seek to try a man a third time on charges that he set a woman on fire in 2014.
Panola County District Attorney John Champion told reporters Monday that Quinton Tellis will be sent to Louisiana to face charges there after a second mistrial on capital murder charges in north Mississippi.
A judge declared the mistrial Monday after jurors told him they were deadlocked. Jurors also couldn't reach a verdict in Tellis' first trial last year.
