What If Sandra Birchmore's Jury Believed Farwell Killed Her and Still Couldn't Convict?

What if Matthew Farwell walked out of federal court not guilty? Bob Motta of Defense Diaries says Sandra Birchmore's case is in federal court only because the local DA wouldn't bring it, and that choice put justice for her at risk. Norfolk DA Michael Morrissey declined to charge Matthew Farwell. That left federal prosecutors with a statute that demands more than murder: proof Farwell killed Sandra to stop her from reaching law enforcement. Motta's wife, a lawyer, researched Massachusetts law and found that an acquittal in the federal trial could bar the state from trying Farwell for murder later. A hung jury is different, and Motta says the state could take the case then. Retired FBI behavior chief Robin Dreeke and Tony ask whether jurors know any of this, and what it would mean to sit on that jury sure he did it and bound by the law not to say so.
