Exattorneys of drug cartel may face retrial
Prosecutors said Wednesday in Miami that they would retry two former
lawyers for the Cali cocaine cartel on remaining drug conspiracy and
racketeering charges that the jury was unable to decide.
William Moran and Michael Abbell were acquitted Monday on the most serious
racketeering charge in an indictment that alleged they crossed the line and
actually joined in the drug trade.
District Judge William Hoeveler declared the mistrial two days after jurors
said they were hopelessly deadlocked on four other charges.
