Mistrial declared for Gotti racketeering charges

A mistrial has been declared on the most serious racketeering charges facing John A. "Junior" Gotti, and the jailed scion of the Gambino organised crime family is expected to be granted bail.

After eight days of deliberations in a New York court the jurors said they were deadlocked on all but one count: they acquitted Gotti, 41, of conspiracy to commit securities fraud.
