Mistrial declared after Kan. jury sees wrong DVD
A judge in northeastern Kansas has declared a mistrial in an attempted murder case because jurors saw improper evidence.

Jefferson County District Judge Gary Nafziger ordered the mistrial Wednesday in the attempted murder trial of 62-year-old John Hayworth Jr. of Valley Falls. Hayworth is charged in the December shooting of 58-year-old William Schoonover, also of Valley Falls.

The trial, which opened Monday, was declared a mistrial after jurors watched a DVD containing footage that should have been redacted. Jefferson County Attorney Jason Belveal says a redacted copy had been made, but the jury was inadvertently shown the incorrect version.

The judge set a Jan. 24 court date to reschedule the trial.
