The jury split 7-5 in favor of guilty and was unable to come to unanimous agreement after more than three days of deliberations.
Jurors began deliberations Friday in the trial against the SLO County woman accused of murdering a man when she sold him the fentanyl that killed him.
The man who performed the autopsy on Quinn Hall ruled the death “accidental,” he testified.
The woman charged with murder for selling him the drug was also in a romantic relationship with him, the detective confirmed.
“In 10 minutes, they transacted. That’s all it took,” a prosecutor said in his opening statements. “No knife, no gun. It’s fentanyl.”
