A Suffolk Superior Court jury declared itself hopelessly deadlocked today in deliberating the fate of Sharon Fitzpatrick, who allegedly used a knife to kill her husband during an argument over his coming home too late, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office says.
Judge Judith Fabricant dismissed the jurors after three days of deliberations and declared a mistrial. Prosecutors said they plan to re-try Fitzpatrick for the death of Sylvester Mitchell around 4:30 a.m. on May 5, 2007 in their Evans Street apartment.
