Antoine Jones

No one can seem to get their hands on Antoine Jones.

A mistrial was declared yesterday in the case against Jones, who D.C. police and prosecutors have accused of being a high-level drug trafficker since over a decade ago. Still, the Post reports, the jury deadlocked on one of the charges against Jones, who represented himself in what was the government’s third attempt to throw him in jail:

After hearing testimony for three weeks at the District’s federal courthouse, jurors could not reach a verdict on one felony drug conspiracy charge. The 11 women and one man were evenly divided after more than seven days of deliberations in part, two of them said, because there was not enough evidence directly linking Jones to the Maryland stash house where law enforcement seized 97 kilograms of cocaine in 2005.

“We had trouble pinpointing him in a certain place,” said one juror, Sheila Clarke. “Not enough photos,” said another, who declined to give her name for privacy reasons.

The case is certainly noteworthy for another reason: in January 2012 the Supreme Court reversed a life sentence handed down to Jones for drug trafficking in a landmark case on how and when police can use GPS monitors to track suspects. This most recent trial attempted to convict Jones on those same charges, albeit without the evidence police initially acquired from the GPS monitor they had put on his jeep.

Prosecutors have said that they are weighing a fourth trial against Jones.
