Which, considering the other outcome, is very good news:
The Holy Land Foundation terrorism-financing trial ended in a mistrial Monday after the jurors deadlocked on most of the counts. But a government prosecutor said the Justice Department would retry the case.
Only one official – Mohammad El-Mezain, the Holy Land’s original chairman and endowments director — was acquitted on most of the counts by a unanimous jury. But he could still face prosecution on a charge of conspiracy to provide material support to terrorism.
What does this all mean? The prosecution gets another shot to get a guilty verdict for them. As Bryan writes:
The story is definitely not over.
