A JURY in the retrial of a man accused of murdering a 15-year-old has been discharged.
The jury was considering whether Michael-Paul Hamblett-Sewell was guilty of the murder of Kadeem Blackwood.
The jurors had been deliberating since Friday.
The prosecution has said that it anticipates there will be a retrial.
Kadeem died after he was shot by Callum Campbell, then 18, in Caxton Park, Sunny Hill, in November 2008. Campbell has already pleaded guilty to murder.
Hamblett-Sewell, now 25, is accused of being a party to, being behind or ordering the shooting. He denies murder.
The prosecution case is that Hamblett-Sewell, of Marlborough Road, Derby, said something to Campbell, who then pulled the trigger.
Hamblett-Sewell told the jury he had told Campbell to put the gun down.
