Summary
A mistrial was declared in Chris Brown's dog-mauling trial after a juror violated the judge's instructions by searching for information online and sharing it with other jurors. Judge Huey P. Cotton dismissed the jury and ordered a new jury to be selected from an already assembled pool. Brown, who was about to testify, will now have to appear before a new jury on Thursday.
