A mistrial was declared in the Chris Henry assault case after jurors told the judge today they could not reach a verdict.
Jurors told Local 12 in Cincinnati that the eight-person jury was hopelessly deadlocked, with six jurors voting for acquittal and two voting for conviction.
Henry was accused of punching a University of Cincinnati student in the face in March. The Bengals cut him shortly after that incident, and he is currently suspended by the NFL, pending the resolution of the case.
Henry will go on trial again, with a pre-trial hearing scheduled for July 8. The judge told Henry he can remove the ankle monitor he’s been wearing, but he still must stay away from the man he’s accused of punching and any other witnesses.

I find it amazing that 6 out of 8 people randomly selected in Cincinnati were Cowboys fans.

Well, it seems like theres compelling evidence that it was in self-defense, or at least provoked by the ‘victim’ in this case. Some punk ass kid thinkin he was gonna show off and give an NFL player shit so he could look tough in front of his friends or something.

An 8 person jury? Anyone mind explaining to me why it wasn’t a 12 person jury?
I’m hoping Chris Henry doesn’t get convicted and cleans up his act. He has great abilities and the potential to be an elite WR. Even though I’d love to have him opposite Colston, Henry’s best chance at cleaning up his act is probably Dallas. I’m impressed with what they’ve done with Adam Jones.

Anyone else pulling for the poor guy? He’s done plenty of wrong, and may or may not be guilty (none of us were there), but I’d like to see if the guy could use a not guilty verdict as the first step in redeeming himself.

pretty much 6 out of 8 people in the city limits of cinci do have the same outlook as henry. It was apparently a jury of his peers.

How many voted to send him back to his planet of origin?

The only way Chris Henry would draw a true jury of his peers is if they flew in the MN BiQueens Love Boat crew. The could put a dunce cap on Childress for the judge and it wouldn’t look out of place.

How do we know the jury was so well-endowed?

sounds like a case where a change of venue is needed in order to get an objective jury.

Maybe he is really isn’t guilty. A-holes can get wrongly accused too.
