This caused the judge to declare a mistrial.<\/p>\n<p>The judge, who allegedly may have been &#8220;in&#8221; on the plot to disrupt the trial,\u00a0 curiously refused to punish the big-mouthed Forbes, despite the fact that he had skewered an important trial and surely was in contempt of court.<\/p>\n<div>A re-trial was due to begin this month.
