(AP) — A second mistrial has been declared in the trial of a 62-year-old Valley Falls man charged with attempted murder.

The  Jefferson County jury said Friday it couldn’t reach a verdict in John Hayworth Jr.’s trial. Hayworth was charged in the 2011 shooting of 58-year-old William Schoonover, of Valley Falls. The shooting stemmed from a dispute between the two on Schoonover’s property, about 40 miles northwest of Lawrence.

Hayworth’s first trial in the case also ended in a mistrial last year when the Jefferson County ruled that the jury saw improper evidence.

The new case was submitted to the jury Friday morning, and at 4:30 p.m. the jury said they couldn’t agree on a verdict. The judge then declared a hung jury and ruled a mistrial.
