In Wichita, Kansas, on 4-26-23 the judge declared a mistrial in the Javan Ervin first degree murder trial after it was determined a juror had shared newspaper articles about the defendant with fellow jurors. The District Attorney commented to the media that the average murder case requires 250 lawyer hours to prepare for trial. That trial must now be redone due to a careless citizen's lack of good judgment and, frankly, utter disregard for the judge's instructions and the law. The trial was reset for June 5, which is quite astonishing considering the crowded calendars of most courts.
