The double murder trial of Henry Hugh Smith, accused of killing his estranged wife Terah Smith, and her friend, Larry Fernander, was dismissed in the Supreme Court yesterday.<\/P><\/p>\n
Chief Justice Sir Burton Hall dismissed the case during day three of the trial, setting July 12 as the date for a new trial.<\/P><\/p>\n
A bailiff of the court alerted the judge late Tuesday evening of a perceived problem with one of the jurors.<\/P><\/p>\n
Describing the matter as a personal problem, Sir Burton hall said it was one which neither he, the prosecution, nor defense, was aware of before the trial started.<\/P><\/p>\n
Sir Burton Hall said that so as not to embarrass the juror, he would disclose neither the name nor the problem. However, it is understood that the juror is a woman and the ‘problem’ was one that could have prejudiced the case.<\/P><\/p>\n
