Gambrell Murder Trial Ends In Hung Jury
Jury Deadlocks On Charges
ANDERSON -- The murder trial of an Anderson County man ended in a mistrial Friday afternoon.
Lois Gambrell disappeared in the summer of 2004.
Johnny Ray Gambrell was arrested in September 2004 after tests showed that bone fragments found in ashes behind their Williamston home matched his estranged wife's DNA.
But after deliberating for a few hours Friday, the jury informed the judge that they could not reach a verdict, and the judge ruled it a mistrial.
One juror told reporters that another juror said he was unsure authorities had found the remains of Gambrell's wife and doubted the testimony of a key witness.
