) - On the eve of closing arguments Thursday, a judge declared a mistrial in the case of a pair of brothers accused of a double murder connected to a dispute over an illegal dice game.
“The judge found, I think properly, that this was inadvertent,” he said. “There was no prosecutorial misconduct in the case, and the prosecutors believed that it had been turned over. And I will say this: We do not hide evidence. In fact, we have an open file discovery policy. … Our prosecutors here, they do not hide the ball.”
Claude Patton, who represents Jerome Williams, expressed confidence that he will be found not guilty. Patton said the Williams brothers were gambling at a “skin house,” a house used for gambling. He said the shootout erupted over a misunderstanding about the betting rules. He said his client made a side bet with Moffett.
