JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – A Hinds County judge declared a mistrial in the Beth Ann White case.

The jury began their deliberations on Thursday, November 30 after the defense rested their case.

The jury did come back to the courtroom around noon, saying they could not reach an agreement. However, the judge said they needed to reach an agreement and that they should continue to deliberate.

The judge declared a mistrial shortly before 3:00 p.m. on Thursday.

“We are disappointed that the jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict in the trial of Beth Ann White. In our opinion, the evidence presented at trial overwhelmingly demonstrated that White was grossly intoxicated and that her reckless and unlawful actions led to the tragic death of Allison Conaway and her six-month-old son and the maiming of two other children,” said Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens.

Owens said his office plans to try the case again.

White is accused of killing Allison Conaway and her six-month-old son, Alex, while driving under the influence. White was indicted on four counts of aggravated DUI.

Conaway’s two other children, Chelsea and Chloe, were brought to the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) with life-threatening brain and spinal injuries following the fatal crash. They both survived their injuries.

The state alleges White’s blood alcohol content level was .273% the night of the crash, which is nearly three times more than the legal limit. The legal limit is .08% in Mississippi.

Officials said caffeine, THC, and hydrocodone was also discovered in White’s blood. The defense argued that the substances found in White’s blood are not controlled substances.
