用法筆記

Usually used after verbs such as declare, request, or announce. A mistrial does not decide guilt or innocence, and the case may be tried again later.

常見錯誤

❌The defendant got a mistrial, so he was proved innocent.
✅The judge declared a mistrial, so the case had no valid result.
💡A mistrial cancels the trial's result; it does not clear the defendant.
