Hung jury in Clark trial
Posted Tue Jul 10, 2007 12:30pm AEST
The Supreme Court trial of a Blue Mountains man accused of planning the murder of his father in southern Sydney has resulted in a hung jury.
During the three-week trial, prosecutors alleged that Faulconbridge man Michael Clark plotted with his son, Ben, to murder his father, Ernest Clark.
Ben Clark has admitted to shooting dead his 74-year-old grandfather at his Bexley home more than two years ago.
Michael Clark has denied having any role in the killing.
After five days of deliberations, the jury could not reach a verdict and was dismissed.
Michael Clark has been remanded in custody, pending a retrial on a date yet to be fixed.
