TL;DR

A Miami-Dade County judge declared a mistrial after jurors failed to reach a verdict in the 2006 killing of University of Miami football player Bryan Pata, allegedly by former teammate Rashaun Jones, prompting prosecutors to plan a retrial. Jones was arrested in 2021 and the case, unsolved for 15 years, rests on a witness’s account of seeing him at the scene and cellphone data, while his defense argues the state lacks direct physical evidence.
