Auto Accident Trial may be Declared Mistrial in San Diego

In a trial for a woman that stands accused of killing four people in northern San Diego during an auto accident, the jury has told the judge that they are deadlocked.  

Superior Court jurors sent a note to the judge this week, which prompting the defendant's (Deanna Fridley) attorney to ask for a mistrial.   In the mean time, prosecutors are trying to have a lone holdout juror replaced.

If she is convicted, Fridley will face life imprisonment as she was charged with four counts of second-degree murder.  According to prosecutors, the auto accident was caused because the 26 year old had been driving under the influence of methamphetamine on state Route 76.  Her car hit another vehicle and burst into flames after killing four people.

Many things can cause car accidents, however, driving under the influence happens to be a leading cause.  If you were hit by a drunk driver, you owe it to yourself to obtain help from a San Diego personal injury lawyer by contacting our legal team today!
